Following the 2009 summer elections, a new era of political dialogue was hoped for between the government and Gabonese civil society groups.

The PWYP coalition is concentrating its efforts in three main areas: continuing in the broad fight against corruption; disseminating awareness about the EITI in extractive regions, and establishing a national budget monitoring strategy. The coalition has already organized several trainings to increase member organisations’ capacity on these topics. In January 2010 for example, a public workshop for Gabonese civil society presented an opportunity to share views on EITI and on how natural resources can be responsibly exploited. In March 2010, Evelyne Tsague from RWI was invited to facilitate a training workshop on strategic planning, project management and fund-raising – all crucial tools for the national coalition. Further training sessions planned for later in the year will focus on lobbying techniques, and budgetary monitoring.
