Candidate Country

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 signalled their intent to implement the EITI. As soon as the EITI Board considers that a country has met the five first requirements, the country becomes a EITI Candidate Country.

For information about the EITI progress in these countries, please contact the EITI Secretariat.
