Description
This request for proposals is now closed.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), with the support from USAID, is seeking a competent and credible firm or individual to produce a study that aims to build the capacity of governments and citizens in identifying relevant annexes that they should disclose to ensure comprehensiveness of disclosure of extractive contracts. A consultant will be engaged to write a study identifying the usual types of annexes, riders, addendum, and other documents that MSGs should consider for disclosure to fully adhere with Requirement 2.4 of the EITI Standard.
The consultant must be from a reputable company/one or more individual(s) with a proven reputation, perceived by the EITI International Secretariat to be credible, trustworthy, experienced and technically competent. Proposals should be submitted following the guidelines noted in the attached terms of reference.
A consultant will be selected following a quality- and cost-based selection procedure.

When preparing your proposal, we kindly ask you to include a section on potential conflicts of interest.

A propos de l'ITIE
Nous considérons que les ressources naturelles d’un pays appartiennent à ses citoyens. Notre mission consiste à promouvoir la compréhension de la gestion des ressources naturelles, à renforcer la gouvernance et la redevabilité publiques et des entreprises, et à fournir les données nécessaires à l’élaboration des politiques et au dialogue multipartite dans le secteur extractif. En devenant membres de l’ITIE, les pays s’engagent à divulguer des informations sur l’ensemble de la chaîne de valeur de l’industrie extractive – des conditions d’octroi des droits d’extraction, à la manière dont les revenus parviennent au gouvernement et profitent à la population. Par le biais de la participation à l’ITIE, 56 pays ont adopté un ensemble de règles communes régissant ce qui doit être divulgué et quand – la Norme ITIE. Dans chacun des pays ayant adhéré à l’ITIE, un groupe multipartite composé de représentants du gouvernement, des entreprises et de la société civile apporte son soutien à la mise en œuvre de la Norme ITIE.
