This governance project involves strengthening the capabilities of the Regional Association of Oil and Natural Gas Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARPEL) member companies to deal with key governance issues in the oil and gas sector in Latin America including social issues such as corporate social responsibility, relations/conflicts with indigenous people/communities, gender, ethics, transparency and accountability, community development, and human rights. The goal of this initiative is to promote good governance practices in the oil and gas sector in the Latin American and Caribbean Region. Project activities are carried out through workshops, regional and national fora, development of policies/guidelines/best practices, and direct technical assistance. Government, industry and civil society personnel are trained on good governance practices and are exposed to successful international experiences and models. The outcomes include ARPEL member companies implementing corporate social responsibility and governance practices in their daily operations
