On 8 December 2021, Zambia was found to have achieved a high overall score (90 points) in implementing the 2019 EITI Standard. The Validation Report outlines the full assessment of Zambia's Validation by requirement. It is based on extensive stakeholder consultations and a review of three templates that reflect the components of EITI Validation, namely “Outcomes and impact”, “Stakeholder engagement” and “Transparency”. The Board decision, including corrective actions needed before Zambia's next Validation, is published in the decisions register.
Validation is the EITI’s quality assurance mechanism to assess implementing countries on their ability to meet the provisions of the EITI Standard.
