Other Countries
Several countries have signalled their intent to implement the EITI, and are working to meet the five signup requirements. As soon as the EITI Board considers that a country has met the five first requirements, the country becomes a EITI Candidate country.
These are the five requirements that countries are required to meet in order to become a Candidate country:
- The government is required to issue an unequivocal public statement of its intention to implement the EITI.
- The government is required to commit to work with civil society and companies on the implementation of the EITI.
- The government is required to appoint a senior individual to lead on the implementation of the EITI.
- The government is required to establish a multi-stakeholder group to oversee the implementation of the EITI.
- The multi-stakeholder group, in consultation with key EITI stakeholders, should agree and publish a fully costed work plan, containing measurable targets, and a timetable for implementation and incorporating an assessment of capacity constraints.
For more information about becoming an EITI Candidate country, please consult the EITI Rules, or contact the the Secretariat.
