EITI reporting
What is EITI reporting?
EITI reporting involves the disclosure of key data on the governance of natural resources, such as revenues, contracts, beneficial ownership, production, exports, state-owned enterprises, and social and environmental impacts. By making this information accessible, EITI reporting enhances transparency, strengthens accountability and builds trust among governments, companies and citizens. It equips stakeholders with the data needed to inform decisions, address corruption risks and ensure that resource wealth supports sustainable development.
Typically conducted annually, EITI reporting is country-led, with each country tailoring disclosures to reflect its priorities and context. Increasingly, countries are adopting systematic disclosure, publishing data through government and company systems in real time to improve accessibility and reduce reporting costs. This shift further reinforces the role of EITI reporting in advancing transparency and accountability in the extractive sector.
Terms of Reference for EITI reporting
The Terms of Reference (ToRs) for EITI reporting provide standardised procedures for compiling and disclosing data under the 2023 EITI Standard. Developed by the EITI Board, these procedures aim to enhance consistency and reliability in reporting both revenues and non-financial data from the extractive sector.
