EITI Strategy Review

 

Based on implementation so far, the EITI is currently considering how the standard can be improved. The EITI has established a Strategy Working Group (SWG) to identify options and present recommendations to the EITI Board in the lead up to the next global conference in 2013.

Over the past year, the Board and the SWG have considered numerous proposals from EITI stakeholders for shaping the future of the EITI. The paper ‘Building on achievements’, which was discussed at the EITI Board meeting in Oslo 26-27 February 2013, is a reflection of this work.  The proposals it contains are based on the recognition that the consensus between the EITI’s stakeholders has developed. It is based on the need to improve the quality of current implementation, by making EITI reports better, implementation simpler and the EITI as stronger platform for wider reforms. The minutes reflecting the outcomes of the Board's discussions of the proposals are available here.

 

STRATEGY WORKING GROUP

The work of the SWG includes reviewing:

  • The EITI Rules: The Principles, Criteria and Requirements; and Validation;
  • Use of data from EITI reports in public dialogue;
  • Possible links with related reforms in implementing countries;
  • Technical assistance provision, governance and organisation;
  • The findings from the evaluation of EITI; and
  • Proposals and feedback from partneres and from the public consultation on EITI strategy.

The working group consists of members from all stakeholder groups.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The EITI Board will in the lead up to the EITI Global Conference in Sydney 23-24 May 2013 focus on drafting the changes to the EITI Standard.  The Board and the Secretariat finds it important that stakeholders particularly in implementing countries are engaged in this review. The EITI invites you to submit comments and proposals on the EITI's strategic direction. Submissions should be sent by email to strategy@eiti.org. All comments and feedback will be considered when the SWG prepares its options and recommendations to the EITI Board.
