workshop

Afghanistan EITI (AEITI) conducted a three-day capacity-building workshop for the members of the Afghanistan multi-stakeholder group from 28-30 March 2011 in Kabul. The aim of the workshop was to train stakeholders in the analysis of EITI reconciliation reports, communication and EITI Validation. On the first day, Bashir Khan, AEITI National Coordinator, provided an update on the status of EITI implementation in Afghanistan, highlighting progress on the preparation of reporting templates for Afghanistan’s first EITI Report. 

At the invitation of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and the European Commission, 90 representatives from 24 partner countries and 9 international organisations participated in the International Tax Compact (ITC) workshop "Joining Forces to Mobilize Domestic Revenues for Development" from 25-26 January 2010 in Brussels.

More than 40 participants from eight Latin-American countries gathered in Lima to discuss measures to improve transparency in the extractives sector in the region. At the workshop, Daniel Camac, Vice-Minister of Energy and Mines of Peru said that the publication of the country's first EITI Report marked an important high point in Peru’s implementation of the EITI. Peru’s first report covered revenues generated during the 2004-2007 period, covering most of the extractive companies operating in the country.
