Empowering the Media to Play an Active Watchdog Role over Oil and Gas Revenue and Resources:

Improved coverage of oil and gas stories by the Ghanaian media leading to an increase in the quantity and quality (in terms of in-depth and investigative reporting) of oil and gas stories thus leading to the media playing an effective watchdog role over Ghana's Oil and Gas revenues and resources. Over the project life span, our outcome will be achieved through building the knowledge capacity of journalists on key oil and gas revenue and resource issues; also by facilitating knowledge exchange between the media and CSOs on key oil and gas revenue and resource issues. 1. Increased overall knowledge of key oil and gas revenue management issues; by selected Ghanaian journalists to better undertake in-depth and investigative oil and gas reporting. 2. Increased oil and gas information and knowledge exchange between the media and CSOs leading to effective opportunities for national dialogue on key oil and gas revenue management issues.
