Parceling out prosperity? Tracking and evaluating the impacts of natural resource concessions in Liberia | AidData

"We collected these investment-level data by standardizing and synthesizing several official sources of information on concessions in Liberia (including the Liberia National Concessions Portal, the Mining Cadastre Administration System of the Ministry of Lands, Mines, and Energy, and long-form contractual agreements between concessionaires and the Government of Liberia made available through the Liberia Extractive Industries Initiative), and then supplementing these official data with open-source data. Once a final battery of quality control checks has been implemented, we will place this dataset in the public domain. We are also making an effort to make the dataset compatible with the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) specification, and we hope to see it republished and reused by as many groups as possible."
