This document proposes the objectives of the strategy, as well as the criteria and strategic approaches that the EITI should use to guide its outreach priorities. In light of these, it proposes outreach priorities for the EITI – including a ramping up of our engagement with state-owned enterprises, financial institutions and southern-based multi-national corporations – and the corresponding resource implications. Finally, it includes a brief background section for the benefit of new Board members, outlining the EITI’s outreach efforts to date and other considerations.

This paper outlines considerations for how to assess progress in meeting Requirement 2.5 on beneficial ownership in Validation. It reflects input by members of the Implementation Committee and experts from partner organisations providing technical assistance on beneficial ownership transparency. The Implementation Committee recommends that the Board agrees the proposals on (1) the assessment framework, (2) the outlined timing of assessment and (3) a broader review of the Validation process.
