At its meeting on 12/13 June in Dakar, Senegal, the EITI Members’ Meeting elected the 2023-2026 EITI Board and agreed to extend the term of the Board Chair, Rt Hon. Helen Clark, for the same period.

“I am delighted to serve a further term”, said Rt Hon. Helen Clark, EITI Board Chair. "The EITI Board will have a key role to play in setting the strategic priorities for the organisation. I look forward to working with the Board to support the implementation of the updated EITI Standard. The Board’s membership reflects the multi-stakeholder character of the EITI. For such a diverse group to reach consensus on complex items of business requires that it operate on the basis of mutual respect and dialogue. I would also like to thank all outgoing Board members, who have given so generously of their time over the past four years.”

The Members’ Meeting convenes every three years and is one of three institutional bodies belonging to the EITI Association. It consists of approximately 220 members, representing EITI implementing and supporting countries, companies and civil society.
