A growing number of international financial institutions, insurers and credit agencies recognise that they have an important role to play in contributing towards transparency and accountability in the extractives sector.

• African Development Bank (AfDB)
• Asian Development Bank (ADB)
• European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
