What portion of extractive revenues does the government invest in the future? Sub-national reporting Front-line revenue allocations Revenues allocated to development funds

Ghana, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, and Sierra Leone include data on revenue transfers between central and local governments Sub-national reporting Peru
