The document outlines Compostela Valley's efforts towards improved governance and transparency in the extractive industry in the Philippines. It discusses the formation of a multi-stakeholder council and the development of reporting templates and a handbook to standardize disclosure of information like payments from mining companies to governments and indigenous groups, budgets and spending of revenues by local governments and indigenous groups, and details of free prior informed consent processes with indigenous peoples. The goal is to reconcile reports from different stakeholders and publicly disclose information to ensure transparency and accountability in mining industry activities and benefits.

transparency
