Nominated for the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize, Global Witness has spent the last 17 years pioneering campaigns against natural resource-related conflict, corruption and associated environmental and human rights abuses. From Cambodia to Angola, Sierra Leone to Turkmenistan, the organization has worked to expose the brutality and injustice that results from the misuse of natural resource wealth. Dana Wilkins leads Global Witness’ work on South Sudan and has for the last two years worked extensively on oil governance issues with government and donor officials, and South Sudanese journalists and civil society groups. Ms. Wilkins also closely followed the negotiations between Sudan and South Sudan with a view to ensuring that transparency and accountability are included in the implementation of the new oil deal as a means of conflict prevention.
