The document describes a local transparency mechanism for the oil and gas industry in Blora District, Indonesia. It was established to address issues like a lack of revenue and CSR data sharing, and environmental impact information. The mechanism's objectives are to transparently share information on revenues, CSR programs, and environmental impacts. It consists of a multi-stakeholder team that collects, analyzes and publishes data quarterly. In its first years of operation, the team advocated for increased revenue sharing, participated in legal reviews, and mediated citizen issues. While building trust between groups, challenges remain in formalizing company involvement and improving revenue and impact policies.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Lack of coordination in CSR-CD implementation (local govt.
only receive reports after the implementation is done)
Environmental Impact
Lack of socialization & simulation over environmental impact

14. Lesson Learn
Building trust
Trust between stakeholders – main key
Need approaches and process in order for society, companies, and
local government to sit together and to agreed upon a joint initiative.
Transparency and ‘beyond transparency’
Transparancy trigger the improvement of performance of the mining
companies—certain intervention from the local govt. and the society
with specific institution and organized work
Transparency itself isn’t enough, start to conduct mediation
Innovation and Institutionalization
Building model phase- the role of champion (from each parties) is
vital
Next important stage– institutionalization within the system
(perbub/Bupati regulation, detail implementation rules, local budget
for funding, mechanism for monitoring performance, etc)
15. Challenges
Time needed to encourage the government to be transparent in revenue
sharing/DBH
In the reconcilitaion of DBH today, there is aggregate information on cost recovery
The involvement of contractor (KKKS) in the Transparency Team is not formal
yet
Internal bureaucracy issues and interpretation of law product
KKKS was an active obervant
Change of actors- the position within companies and government often change,
resulting in certain process during the changing of team member
Policy improvement needed:
Encouraging transparency mechanism to have stronger legal based (perda)
Encouraging the revision of oil/gas regulation so the local govt. can have maximum involvement in
managing oil/gas
The need to replicate the mechanism to other resource-rich region
