Liberia has been in the process of implementing the EITI since 2006. The impacts demonstrate that the benefits of the EITI to the country are extensive. In this case study, Negbalee Warner, Head of the LEITI Secretariat, and Eddie Rich, Deputy Head of the EITI International Secretariat, offer their reflections on the contribution of the EITI process to the creation of sustainable development and post-conflict reconciliation in Liberia.

This report published by the World Bank reviews the experience of six countries on EITI subnational implementation. The study supports that the subnational dimension of EITI is relevant in resource-rich regions within countries that host large oil, gas and mining operations given that most of the national revenues from the extractives industries come from a specific region. By reviewing the cases of Ghana, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Peru, the study reveals some characteristics of implementing the EITI standard in a subnational level.

Making data of revenue flows from oil, gas and mining activities publicly available is a key activity in the EITI process. EITI Reports are produced by an independent accountant, who reconciles figures from government agencies and compagnies operating in sectors included in the EITI process and subject to reporting according to the materiality definition agreed by the Multi-stakeholder Group. The report is then published and disseminated by the MSG after review. 29 countries have published a total of 68 EITI Reports by July 2011.
Jürgen Runge and James Shikwati (editors), CRC Press, 2011.This book brings together numerous points of view on the prospects of geological resources for sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of the most resource rich countries in the world are mired in poverty and corruption. Poor governance is often to blame for the inability of a state to provide for its citizens.Transparency in the extractives sector fosters accountability, good governance, and sustainable development.
Since 2003 a total of 41 EITI Reports have been produced by countries implementing the EITI. Based on EITI's rules, the scope and structure of EITI Reports are determined by the national EITI Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) to ensure local ownership of the EITI process. As a result, EITI Reports between countries can vary in terms of the sectors covered, aggregated or disaggregated data, regularity of the reporting cycle and the reporting currencies. Timely reporting is also varied due to a lack of EITI guidance.

Marie Müller, BICC (Bonn International Center for Conversion), 2010 The analysis shows that a lack of transparency and accountability was partly responsible for the negative consequences of oil extraction in the Niger Delta. Hence, revenue transparency initiatives have a certain, albeit limited, potential to mitigate the resource curse in the Niger Delta.

This report presents examples from stakeholders on the ground in Africa, which illustrate how the EITI process has generated positive changes in the extractive sectors relating to trust building, governance, economic management, civil society engagement and improved business environment.The EITI has been growing strongly over the last two years and there are now 32 countries implementing the EITI around the world. Of these 32 countries, 20 are in Sub Saharan Africa, highlighting the unique governance challenges faced in many countries across the continent.
