Isabel Munilla

Oxfam America
Senior Policy Advisor, Extractive Industries
Washington, DC, USA
Isabel Munilla leads advocacy, research and analysis to support Oxfam initiatives on oil, gas and mining transparency & corporate and government accountability. This includes a focus on open contracting, licensing, payment disclosure and implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) . Previously, she was Director of Publish What You Pay United States (PWYP), and led PWYP US’s 2010 drive to pass Section 1504/Cardin-Lugar provision of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act, which requires oil, gas and mining companies listed on US stock exchanges to publish payments to governments. Prior to PWYP, she worked for 9 years at the World Resources Institute conducting research with civil society partners on the social and environmental impacts – and benefits - of natural resource extraction. She was principal author of People, Power and Pipelines: Lessons from Peru in the governance of gas production revenues and co-authored Breaking Ground: Engaging Communities in Extractives and Infrastructure Projects. She worked with civil society coalitions in the Amazon region, Indonesia, Russia and Central Africa to examine the governance challenges inherent in extractive industries and the forestry sector, and the associated role of corporations and international financial institutions in influencing national and private systems of risk mitigation and management in these sectors.
