“…To ensure environmental protection under an agenda of 'sustainable development', environmental impact assessment (EIA) became widespread practice [17] however, the process initially lacked a human focus later countered by a global push for the rights of Indigenous peoples [18]. The right to free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) [18] argued that Indigenous peoples had land rights that were often usurped by Governments for the benefit of mining [19]. Reflection on industry practices in the last decade has led to a strong focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), transparency and accountability [20] championed in part by the EITI, the Global Mining Initiative, and the International Council on Mining and Metals [21].…”

This paper aims to identify the key components of a modern mining regulatory framework and examines the extent to which the Vietnamese context reflects these characteristics. Through detailed observation of two research locations in Vietnam—Phuoc Son and Bong Mieu—the paper investigates how national policy operates at a local level. Findings show that, over the past decade, the Vietnamese Government has initiated substantial reforms to the regulatory frameworks governing mining, with the central objective to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). However, it has become apparent that these reforms have numerous deficiencies and loopholes that have led to a range of unintended economic, social and environmental consequences. To cope with challenges such as rent-seeking, limited capacities and capabilities of government staff, failure of institutions and neglect of local communities, policy makers will need to think differently and strategically about the mining industry and how regulations are implemented. Only by addressing these weaknesses will the path be paved for the sustainable growth of Vietnam’s mining industry into the future.

“…perceptions of business climate, rule of law, voice and accountability, per capita gross domestic product and foreign direct investment (Brockmyer and Fox 2015) -but less so with corruption (Corrigan 2014;Papyrakis et al 2016). There are also some positive correlations between EITI membership and more proximate indicators such as compliance, auditing, reporting and civil society participation (Rustad et al 2017). However, these cross-country studies show broad associations but do not establish a causal relationship or show the mechanisms of change (Mejía Acosta 2013).…”

The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) promotes evidence-informed equitable, inclusive and sustainable development. We support the generation and effective use of highquality evidence to inform decision-making and improve the lives of people living in poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We provide guidance and support to produce, synthesise and quality-assure evidence of what works, for whom, how, why and at what cost. 3ie working papers These papers cover a range of content. They may focus on current issues, debates and enduring challenges facing development policymakers, programme managers, practitioners, and the impact evaluation and systematic review communities. Policy-relevant papers in this series synthesise or draw on relevant findings from mixed-method impact evaluations and systematic reviews funded by 3ie, as well as other rigorous evidence, to offer new analyses, findings, insights and recommendations. Papers focusing on methods and technical guides also draw on similar sources to help advance understanding, design, and use of rigorous and appropriate evaluations and reviews. 3ie also uses this series to publish lessons learnt from 3ie grant-making. About this working paper This paper, Transparency and accountability in the extractives sector: a synthesis of what works and what does not, uses evidence from seven rigorous impact evaluations of information disclosure and deliberation interventions in the extractives sector. It discusses the impact of these interventions on increasing citizens' knowledge, awareness, trust, and demand for accountability and civic action, as well as their implications for public service delivery, and environmental and development outcomes.

The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) promotes evidence-informed equitable, inclusive and sustainable development. We support the generation and effective use of high-quality evidence to inform decision-making and improve the lives of people living in poverty in low-and middle-income countries. We provide guidance and support to produce, synthesise and quality assure evidence of what works, for whom, how, why and at what cost. 3ie evidence gap map reports 3ie evidence gap maps are thematic collections of information about impact evaluations or systematic reviews that measure the effects of international development policies and programmes. The maps provide a visual display of completed and ongoing systematic reviews and impact evaluations in a sector or sub-sector, structured around a framework of interventions and outcomes. The evidence gap map reports provide all the supporting documentation for the maps, including the background information for the theme of the map, the methods and results, protocols, and the analysis of results. About this evidence gap map report This report provides the supporting documentation for the 3ie evidence gap map on the effect of transparency and accountability interventions in the extractive sector, developed as a part of a project funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
