Request for expression of interest: Consultant responsible for writing the EITI-Argentina Flexible Report (fiscal year 2018)
Introduction
For preparation of its 2018 EITI Report, the Argentina MSG has decided to adopt the Flexible EITI reporting approach offered by the EITI International Board in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. In turn, the Argentinean MSG has also decided to recruit a consultant, with the assistance of the International Secretariat, which is supporting the country in its preparation of their first Report and the adoption of the corresponding flexibility measures.
The consultant must be perceived by the MSG as credible, reliable and technically competent. The MSG and the consultant must address all concerns regarding possible conflicts of interest. The EITI Report jointly prepared by the consultant, the National Secretariat and the MSG, will be submitted to the MSG for its final approval and will be made public in accordance with Requirements 7.1 and 7.2. of the EITI Standard.
The consultant is expected to devote between 20 and 25 working days on the assignment. For further details, please see attached documents containing the Terms of Reference in English and Spanish.
Expression of interests for this assignment, including the consultant’s CV, should be sent before 18 August 2020 to fparis@eiti.org and cgreene@eiti.org.
About EITI
We believe that a country’s natural resources belong to its citizens. Our mission is to promote understanding of natural resource management, strengthen public and corporate governance and accountability, and provide the data to inform policymaking and multi-stakeholder dialogue in the extractive sector. By becoming a member of the Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), countries commit to disclose information along the extractive industry value chain – from how extraction rights are awarded, to how revenues make their way through government and how they benefit the public. Through participation in the EITI, more than 50 countries have agreed to a common set of rules governing what has to be disclosed and when – the EITI Standard. In each country that has joined the EITI, a multi-stakeholder group, composed of government, companies and civil society, supports implementation of the EITI Standard.
