Subnational EITI Implementation in Peru

​

International Risk Geopolitical rivalries may weaken cooperation on the energy transition.

Transnational Risk Rising prices encourage smuggling and other illegal activities.

Companies may struggle to meet governance standards due to rapid increases in demand and commercialisation.

National Risk Expediting contracts and licences may exacerbate corruption risks.

Subnational Risk. Increased exploration and transition-mining activities may extend into conservation areas and Indigenous territories. This may affect community consultations and impact assessments.

Rising demand increases risks across the transition minerals value chain.

• Subnational EITI brings information closer to citizens and communities. It discloses not only what companies pay and what the state receives at national level, but also how transfers reach regional and local governments, universities and other public entities, and how these resources are used in local budgets and investment projects.
• Subnational EITI also brings decision-making closer to communities. Regional multi-stakeholder groups – including local authorities, companies, civil society and universities – provide a structured platform to interpret data together, discuss project pipelines and align extractive revenues with local development plans and community needs.
• Subnational implementation supports better governance of extractive revenues. It helps build fiscal resilience, strengthen public finance responsibility and prepare for a just energy transition by linking revenue management to long-term development strategies at the local level.

EITI policy work on the energy transition and just transition highlights these priorities:

Contribution of extractive activity to the regional economy

​

The predominant extractive activity in Piura is oil. Piura has 46% of the country's proven oil reserves and 3% of the country's natural gas reserves.

​

Non-metallic mining also plays an important role in the region, based mainly on the extraction of phosphates (fertilizers), representing almost 82% of total production. The main operator of this mineral is Compañía Minera Miski Mayo.

​

The extraction of oil, gas, minerals and related services contributed 8.87% of the region’s GDP.

​

Transfers

​

For 2023, the total amount transferred to the region of Piura from extractive industries was 171.5 million USD. The oil royalties and “surcanon” accounted for 74.29% of these revenues, followed by 23.21% of the mining canon.

​

Regional Government received 23.38%.

District municipalities 38.49

Provincial municipalities 32.77

public universities 4.91

What are local stakeholders' perceptions of the EITI?

“The Regional Commission has been positioning the transparency of the extractive industries as a priority.

​

Stakeholders value the spaces for analysing the results of the studies for the quality of the information and to know how much of the resources arrive and how they are spent”.

​

Subnational EITI requires a clear national vision. The central government has explicitly linked regional EITI commissions to priorities on access to information, social licence, conflict prevention and the governance of the energy transition.

Strong technical and financial support from the Ministry of Energy and Mines has been critical. The EITI Technical Secretariat and sectoral teams provide guidance, capacity building and co-financing for regional commissions and their transparency studies, helping ensure consistency with national standards.

Active participation from industry. Companies use EITI as an additional platform to explain their payments, engage with local governments and communities, and discuss how resource revenues can support local infrastructure and services.

Civil society organisations and universities in regions like Piura play a central role in using EITI data, training citizens to understand budgets and monitor projects, and bringing the perspectives of women, youth and Indigenous or land-connected communities into the debate on extractive revenues and local development.

Enabling factors in Peru’s subnational EITI

Start with priority regions. Identify a small number of pilot regions or provinces where extractive activities are most significant and where there are active LGUs, companies and civil society partners.

Produce regional transparency studies similar to those in Piura. These could explicitly assess whether extractive revenues are aligned with local development and climate strategies, including community priorities around basic services, economic diversification and resilience to climate impacts.

Use subnational EITI as a tool to build fiscal resilience and plan for transition. Regional and local governments could use EITI data for fiscal scenario planning and link transition plans with concrete discussions on revenue management, social protection for affected workers, and long-term investment in alternative sectors.

Establish local multi-stakeholder groups in the pilot regions: These bodies could be given a clear mandate to oversee regional transparency reporting, to discuss the use of extractive revenues.

Consider integrating Indigenous rights and environmental safeguards from the outset: address FPIC, land rights and environmental impacts and ensure communities have access to information and meaningful participation in decision-making

What lessons could the Philippines learn?
