The EITI’s key performance indicators (KPI) are rooted in the organisation’s theory of change and measure the effectiveness of the EITI’ international management[1]: at the international level, implementing country[2] level and the International Secretariat and Board level.

The Rules, dated February 2010, were replaced by the 2011 Rules

The 2018-2019 Outreach Strategy (Board Paper 40-5-A) was approved in Berlin. See the file attached below.

The EITI and its partners agree that there are opportunities to reach out to other resource-rich countries that could benefit from EITI implementation and could contribute to improved global governance of natural resources and their contribution to development goals. This document provides a strategy for how the EITI, together with supporting governments, companies and organisations, commits to work towards wider implementation of the EITI. 

On 26 January 2018, the EITI Board came to the following decision

Committees may decide that non-EITI Board members may observe committee meetings and teleconferences, provided that an observer is accepted by all members of the concerned committee and that the committee finds the numbers of observers reasonable. Non-Board members who wish to observe a committee meeting or teleconference should notify the Chair of the committee and the secretariat well in advance of the Committee meeting [three days before the meeting],

The EITI Board adopted a policy on “limited EITI engagement” is at its Board meeting in Manila in October 2017 (decision reference: 2017-48/BM-38/BP-38-4-D). 

The policy set out in section 2 below has two parts. Section 2.1 sets out a mechanism for more strictly limiting EITI implementation to resource rich countries, and is intended for countries considering EITI implementation. Section 2.2 outlines a mechanism that the EITI could offer to existing implementing countries with limited extractive sectors, drawing on the tools available in the EITI Standard. 

In February 2018 the EITI Board adopted the recommendations in the paper below and decided to encourage implementing countries to move to systematic disclosure. See decision nr 2018-8/BM-39/BP-39-4-A
