Decision on an extension of Mali's Validation
The Board agreed that Mali is eligible for an extension of its second Validation deadline, due to exceptional circumstances that led to significant delays in EITI implementation in the year 2018. Mali’s second Validation, initially scheduled to start on 28 November 2018, will now begin on 28 February 2019. The Secretariat will take into consideration, to the extent possible, all publicly available information up to 28 February 2019.
