Policy priorities
Our policy priorities reflect the EITI's strategic objectives and key areas in which we support countries with implementation of the EITI Standard. Our policy work underpins the EITI's mission to promote understanding of natural resource management, strengthen public and corporate governance and provide the data to inform greater transparency and accountability in the extractives sector.
EITI reporting and implementation spans across the extractive industry value chain, from the legal frameworks governing the oil, gas and mining sectors, to how revenues make their way through the government and how they benefit the public.
