Agency Updates
The direct payments of extractive companies to LGUs (e.g. local taxes) go to the General Fund of the LGUs and they basically have the autonomy to use these funds as they see fit.  Expenditure tagging has been looked into in earlier studies including one under PPEI. Since that time, there has been growing awareness of the need for measures to combat climate change.  Another study based on the earlier ones might be able to come up with more actionable results.
