EITI Countries

A country that has fully and to the satisfaction of the EITI Board met the five sign-up requirements becomes a Candidate country. These requirements are explained in the EITI Rules. Once a country has obtained the Candidate status it has two and a half years to be validated as a Compliant country.

Several other countries have signaled their intent to implement the EITI, including the United States of America and the Philippines. As soon as the international EITI Board considers that a country has met the five first requirements, the country becomes an EITI Candidate country.
