Transition to a new era for EITI implementation support
2015 marks the end of an era for donor support to the EITI and the start of a transition to a new, improved approach to extractive sector support that will add great value to the World Bank´s work on extractives. At the end of 2015, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative Multi Donor Trust Fund (EITI-MDTF) closed and was replaced by the Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS) Multi Donor Trust Fund. The year’s work has focused on completing EITI-MDTF grant activities, improving results reporting, facilitating a seamless transition to EGPS, and looking closely at the lessons from the EITI-MDTF that we can incorporate into our work moving forward.
As we look back at the ten years of EITI-MDTF implementation, there have been many resounding successes as well as important lessons learned. In terms of success, the World Bank and partners conducted outreach to over 50 countries to encourage them to join EITI, contributing to the current tally of 49 EITI implementing countries, of which 31 are compliant. In FY15, the World Bank supported 37 countries in their implementation efforts. This support has enabled these countries to improve dialogue on the value of their extractive industries,
empower civil society organizations, open data on extractives revenues and payments to scrutiny, and further the agenda of broad extractive sector reform.
During the year many implementing countries reached an important milestone in publishing their first reports under the EITI Standard. Reports are now disclosing disaggregated revenue figures, a wide array of sector contextual information and some have also started to disclose contractual terms, information about beneficial ownership and data in electronic formats.
One of the key lessons we have learned from implementation of the EITI-MDTF is that our support must be more agile, strategic and measured. In this sense, we have incorporated many lessons learned into EGPS that will make it more programmatic in nature and measure results more closely.
Donors’ contributions to EITI-MDTF over the past ten years have made these accomplishments possible. We look forward to enhancing the results of this work and linking it to the World Bank’s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. I hope that this EITI-MDTF Annual Report highlights for you some stories of our success and results over the past year.

Foreword ► Executive Summary ► Results Summary ► Year in Numbers ► EGPS ► Supporting Civil Engagement Society ► EITI Global Knowledge III
In FY15, a major focus of EITI-MDTF support was on helping countries prepare their first reports under the EITI Standard. For many countries, bringing together the additional contextual information (Requirement 3) for the first time and complying with the more rigorous financial disclosures (Requirement 4) was a major challenge.
The EITI-MDTF continued its support to civil society organizations (CSOs) through its engagement with Publish What You Pay (PWYP) International and the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI). Both organizations worked to empower CSOs to engage more on EITI through training and fostering dialogue on important issues such as multi-stakeholder group (MSG) governance. EITI-MDTF direct CSO support which started in 2010 concluded in FY15, with programs closing in Azerbaijan, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. CSO Direct Support in Ethiopia and Solomon Islands, and support to Papua New Guinea through PWYP, will continue into 2016 via the EGPS MDTF.
Global knowledge of EITI was further advanced by regional training sessions held in Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. The training focused on the implementation of the Standard, particularly work plan development, the inclusion of national priorities in EITI objective setting and reporting, and improved use of EITI data and communications. These workshops were complimented by the EITI Community of Practice (CoP), which is administered by the World Bank, and brings over 200 MSG members and other stakeholders from various countries to an online community for continuous country-to-country dialogue. This year the EITI CoP also led several webinars in which EITI implementers from different countries convened to discuss topics of interest and consult on important questions such as validation.
To better track the results and outcomes of EITI-MDTF support, the Result Framework from last year was improved with more data being collected for each grant activity. FY15 was the second consecutive year in which results data was collected from EITI-MDTF financed projects. The sample of data overlapping between FY14 and FY15 is relatively small but will grow each year as teams improve their data collection. FY15 data is more detailed than the previous year and shows more consistency.
In FY15*, the EITI-MDTF provided more than US$9.3 million to 37 countries. Of the US$9.3 million, US$4.7 million was disbursed through recipient-executed grants, World Bank-led technical assistance, and CSO support. The other US$4.6 million was disbursed for global knowledge and learning activities.
In FY15, EITI-MDTF funds supported 37 countries in both EITI implementation and outreach. These countries are a subset of the 49 total EITI implementing countries (including the UK, Norway and USA), of which 31 are compliant and 18 are candidates. New candidate countries in FY15 included Colombia, Myanmar, Seychelles and the United Kingdom. Newly compliant countries included Chad, DRC, Guinea, Indonesia and Trinidad & Tobago. Over its lifetime, EITI-MDTF support was extended to all of the new candidate and compliant countries that were IDA/IBRD eligible.

EITI-MDTF Annual Report 2015
Country Results Highlights
► Albania: EITI legislation ensures reporting. In March 2015 the Albanian government amended the Hydrocarbon Law to require all hydrocarbon contract holders, as well as all national and local government institutions, to report revenues and payments based on the EITI Standard.
► Burundi: EITI advances sector wide reform. An EITI Scoping Study informed the country’s broader extractive industries reform program, including goals of establishing a mineral database as well as simplifying taxation and improving monitoring of Artisanal and Small-scale mining operations.
► Ethiopia: CSOs empowered. The EITI MSG in Ethiopia created an informal CSO network that supported the flow of information to the community and improved outreach.
► Mongolia: EITI data made available electronically. An electronic data reporting system was implemented with 987 companies now using the new system which is available to the public.
► Mozambique: Going beyond the Standard. Mozambique’s latest report includes company-by-company payment and production data, as well as descriptions of in-kind royalties and first steps towards disclosing the beneficial ownership of companies.
► Nigeria: EITI advances sector-wide reform. In May 2015, the new Nigerian administration expressed its commitment to use the governance and administrative reforms recommended in earlier NEITI audits as a guide to reform the oil, gas, and mining sectors.
► Philippines: Beyond Standard requirements. The first Philippines EITI report goes beyond Standard requirements and discloses 39 contracts with extractives companies and 37 Memoranda of Understanding between extractives companies and Indigenous People.
► Senegal: EITI boosts credit rating. Moody’s Credit Rating agency noted Senegal’s EITI Candidacy as a reason for upgrading the country’s credit rating in early 2014.
► Sierra Leone: Beyond Standard requirements. In April 2014, the government published all re-negotiated contracts, with future contracts also slated to be published.
► Ukraine: EITI advances sector-wide reform. Draft law on transparency and accountability prepared with significant input from civil society and other stakeholders.
IV EITI-MDTF Annual Report 2015

• The number of CSOs represented on MSGs varied greatly among countries, but if some reporting difficulties are taken into account, the number of CSOs represented on MSGs in FY15 was consistent with FY14. While all countries have roughly 1/3 of the seats on MSG allocated for CSOs, some countries like DRC, Nigeria, Mozambique, Mongolia, Philippines and Indonesia (among others) report estimated number of CSOs represented through coalitions on the MSG, while other countries (like Seychelles, Ukraine, Albania for example) disclosed only the number of coalitions themselves, rather than the CSOs behind them.
• The number of females on MSGs unfortunately showed a decrease in FY15 compared to FY14 (from a median of 25% to a median of 19%) – however, the sample was not the same (20 countries in FY14, 25 countries in FY15 with several countries being different). One country that indeed showed a significant reduction in this indicator was Afghanistan (went from 30% to 6%).
• A positive trend in FY15 was that the time required to procure an Independent Administrator remained either comparable or decreased. The average duration of 3.5 months in FY15 (compared to 6.2 in FY14) to complete the procurement process is a good result for a relatively complex competitive procurement.
• Discrepancies reported in EITI reconciliation reports among EITI-MDTF grant recipients remained modest in FY15 (in some cases slightly higher from previous year), which is consistent with the notion that the EITI is well understood by the MSGs and the governments and data collection is well mastered.
• Data on the time required to process grants did not change significantly since most of the grants under implementation in FY15 were initiated in earlier years. Not enough new grants were processed in FY15 to exhibit a change in this indicator.
The indicators tracked in the Results Framework remains a work in progress and will be further improved next year for EGPS. It is difficult to evaluate the data due to lack of baseline information among countries. We note the results for non-statistical purposes at this stage. The data we have collected over the past two fiscal years serves as a baseline for EGPS moving forward to ensure that (i) EITI data is properly distributed, discussed and understood; and (ii) overall results of the program in MDTF recipient countries are monitored and assessed.
The EITI remains highly recognized by World Bank clients and within the organization. EITI reporting is an important commitment under IDA17 by the World Bank. IDA17 reporting includes several indicators on Extractive Industries, of which EITI is prominent and covers a majority of the countries supported by the EITI-MDTF.
The following indicators highlight how the EITI-MDTF has advanced the initiative as countries continue to improve the effectiveness of EITI implementation.
• The number of EITI implementing countries continues to rise, as of mid-2015, reaching 48 (of which 36 are IDA), of which 31 are EITI compliant (of which 22 IDA). Going forward we would expect the number of EITI implementing countries to increase slowly.
• Revenues reconciled by recent EITI reports increased in IDA countries but have declined among all EITI implementing countries primarily due to lower commodity prices. In the 25 IDA countries where reports were available, revenues reconciled by EITI for 20121 amounted to $180 billion (14 percent of GDP). This compares to $95 billion in 2011 (16 percent of GDP). Among the larger pool of all EITI implementing countries, reconciled revenue amounted to close to $306 billion or 14 percent of aggregated GDP, compared to $359 in 2011; $215 billion in 2010, and $165 billion in 2009. Lower revenues reconciled were recorded in 2012 due to (i) Indonesia not submitting data; and (ii) a reduction of revenue due to market or other conditions in large producers like Nigeria, as well as in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and on a smaller scale in several other EITI countries.
• At the country level, FY15 indicators show that almost half of Multi-Stakeholder Groups (MSGs) employed Monitoring & Evaluation systems as of June 2015 (10 out of 25).
• The majority of MSGs have adopted communications strategies (18 out of 25, or over 70% of all EITI-MDTF supported recipient executed projects in FY15) of which virtually all were providing information in formats adjusted for various users.
• Almost one third of the MSGs in the sample (7 out of 25) have incorporated gender into their communications strategies and use specific tools to target women.

disbursements. In the Middle East and North Africa, 14 percent of the total funds were disbursed. Disbursements from Latin America and the Caribbean represented 7 percent. Europe and Central Asia disbursed 7 percent, and South Asia disbursed 6 percent.
Recipient-executed disbursements and World Bank technical assistance supported with EITI-MDTF funds fluctuated from US$6.2 million (FY13) and US$8.1 million (FY14), to US$4.7 million (FY15). The reduction in FY15 can be attributed in part to the impending closure of the EITI-MDTF.
Staffing Resources
The number of World Bank personnel and consultants contributing to the EITI-MDTF management and support to EITI implementing countries has continued to be significant. In FY06, the first year of the EITI-MDTF operations, there were seven staff and three consultants involved in country-level work to assist governments in EITI implementation. For management and administration, there were five staff and one consultant contributing, for a total of 17 staff servicing 16 countries. In FY15, World Bank personnel and consultants continued to provide support to EITI implementing countries, with 45 personnel and consultants providing support to 47 countries (37 with EITI-MDTF grants and 10 outreach countries) , both in Headquarters and from Country Offices. Note that any staff or consultant that has contributed part of all of his/her time is included in this calculation; very few staff dedicate all of their time to EITI.

• Empowering EITI support: This more programmatic approach will enable the EITI to be a central part of large-scale reform programs. The EGPS will help to move the focus from EITI startup to EITI sustainability, increasing country ownership of the process and citizen demand for EITI information.
• Efficiency: One lesson learned from the EITI-MDTF is that execution should move more quickly. EGPS will meet this challenge, while at the same time following all World Bank fiduciary measures and safeguards, by restructuring support into larger grants (average US$500,000), with longer time horizons (3-5 years) that approach development challenges in a more holistic fashion.
• Governance: The EGPS introduces a new Steering Committee to provide overall strategic guidance to EGPS, and Technical Working Groups (as needed) to identify priorities and lead development of the annual work plan and budget. This will help move support away from a project-by-project approach to setting priority themes and regional strategies.
• Results reporting: The EGPS will use a specific framework to track both global level and program-level results, as well as country level engagements. Not only will EGPS Results Indicators be collected, but the World Bank´s information disclosure policy now requires all recipient executed grants to submit regular implementation updates that are disclosed to the public.
After ten years of supporting EITI implementation throughout the world, the EITI-MDTF closed at the end of 2015. The World Bank and donors have decided to use the opportunity to restructure trust fund support for Extractives work and bring several components, including EITI, together into a single multi-donor trust fund, the EGPS. The EGPS will also include work previously funded by the Extractive Industries Technical Advisory Facility (EI-TAF) and activities to support sector sustainability. The EGPS will expand the scope of World Bank support to accommodate new requirements of the EITI Standard and incorporate lessons learned from EITI-MDTF.
What is the EGPS?
The EGPS will support resource-rich developing nations to use their oil, gas and mineral resources sustainably and transparently for poverty alleviation and sustainable economic growth. The EGPS will support countries in four areas:
1. Transparency and governance (including support for EITI implementation)
2. Legal and regulatory reform
3. Local economic diversification
4. Institutional strengthening, and environmental and social sustainability
Added Value of EGPS
The transition to EGPS will allow the World Bank to incorporate many lessons learned from the EITI-MDTF and EI-TAF, including:
• A programmatic approach: Transitioning to the EGPS as a more strategic and broad-based mechanism for donor support of extractives industries offers several benefits. The various components of the EGPS will allow engagements to be more strategic as one grant will be able to support different interventions along the extractive industries value chain, rather than separating funding for transparency, legal/regulatory reform, local content, and institutional, environmental and social work into separate projects.

position. This Coordinator organizes monthly conference calls with the CSO board members, summarizes board meetings and shares the information with the constituency to coordinate positions.
Regional Activities
Building on successful training activities in 2013 in Francophone Africa, NRGI continued regional training activities in Asia Pacific, Eurasia and Latin America. PWYP focused on Central Africa.
ASIA PACIFIC
The NRGI Asia Pacific Knowledge Hub course was held in October 2015. Participants included representatives from Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste. Participants shared knowledge and skills about the opportunities and challenges of using the EITI to pursue reform in their own countries.
CENTRAL AFRICA
PWYP hosted a civil society learning day around the EITI board meeting held in Kinshasa in April 2015. Civil society from DRC, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Congo-Brazzaville, Togo, Cameroon, Chad and Equatorial Guinea came together to learn more about the feedback and accountability mechanism DRC has put in place.
Civil Society Partners
Civil society’s active engagement in the EITI is critical to ensure that the broader public has access to information about the payments and transfers made from extractive industries. By empowering civil society with information about extractives revenues, it can hold companies and governments accountable for the contributions they make.
The EITI Multi-Donor Trust Fund (EITI-MDTF) allocates funds to strengthen the capacity of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to effectively participate in the EITI process through global, regional and national interventions. The World Bank implements this support through contracted work with partner organizations, Publish What You Pay (PWYP) and the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), and also through its CSO Direct Support Program.
Under EITI-MDTF contracts with PWYP and NRGI, the following activities were conducted in FY15.
Global activities
This past year priorities of EITI-MDTF support for CSOs focused on: 1) improving capacity to assess and monitor the enabling environment of civil society in EITI implementing countries; and 2) improving capacity building approaches to promote effective participation of civil society in the EITI process.
• PWYP led efforts to develop a report on assessing the governance of multi-stakeholder groups (MSGs) and civil society participation in the EITI at the national level. The full report entitled, ‘Protecting the Cornerstone’, was written pro-bono by MSI Integrity and published in February 2015. It provides recommendations for the selecting, composing, governing and running EITI Multi-Stakeholder Groups from a civil society perspective.
• PWYP in collaboration with the International Council for Non-Profit Law (ICNL) and the civil society representatives on the EITI International Board, developed a Civil Society Protocol Checklist to serve as a guide to assess and monitor the environment of civil society, and to provide consistent criteria for decisions of candidature and validation of EITI implementing countries.
• PWYP has played a leading role in coordinating civil society positions related to decisions of the EITI International Board. To do this PWYP developed an EITI Program Coordinator
Supporting Civil Society Engagement
Results on MSG GovernanceSince publication of ‘Protecting the Cornerstone’, which was written pro-bono by MSI Integrity, twenty-one countries have corresponded with the authors to discuss the findings and recommendations. As a result, MSGs in Cameroon, Azerbaijan, Tanzania, and the Philippines adopted recommendations to improve their internal governance.
In addition, the report gave guidance to the United Kingdom EITI Civil Society Network to develop its own terms of reference and code of conduct.
Papua New Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Afghanistan MSG members have discussed the report findings in-depth as they seek to introduce improved governance practices, and Guatemala and Solomon Islands have expressed interest in organizing events to discuss the report.

advocacy; 3) engagement in the EITI; and 4) outreach to sub-national CSOs, including innovative communication strategies and use of data. Some examples of their work include:
• In Congo Brazzaville the national PWYP coalition supported dissemination of the 6th EITI reconciliation report to raise awareness among local community members.
• In Chad training on contract modelling was provided.
• In the DRC communications activities around the latest EITI reconciliation report increased citizen engagement on natural resource governance issues and improved collaboration with Parliamentarians.
• In Equatorial Guinea, a proposal to change legislation regarding CSO activities was developed and presented to the Ministry of Interior.
NRGI, through EITI MDTF support, has been providing support to CSOs in Azerbaijan, Colombia, Guinea, Indonesia, Iraq, Mexico, Mongolia, and the Philippines. The objective is to ensure that EITI reporting is policy relevant, comprehensive and user-friendly, EITI data informs policy debates and reform, and additional countries sign up to the initiative. Some examples of the achievements from NRGI´s work are listed below.
• In Burkina Faso, the first research on the impact of tax incentives on EITI-reported revenues ever undertaken by local stakeholders was completed.
• In Azerbaijan, the obstacles encountered by members of the NGO coalition working on EITI were described in the MSG’s annual progress report for the first time.
• In Zambia, the first formal civil society engagement with the National Assembly on the EITI was facilitated.
• The Philippines held the first civil society national conference on EITI.
• In Mexico a media outreach activity presented the EITI initiative, Mexico’s implementation process, and the media’s role covering the EITI process and use of EITI data in investigative reporting.
EITI-MDTF Civil Society Direct Support Program
The EITI-MDTF Civil Society Direct Support Program has been supported through EITI-MDTF since 2011 and concluded in 2015. The program fundedCSO capacity building with the aim to strengthen CSO participation in multi-stakeholder groups and their contribution to the EITI.
EITI-MDTF provided direct support to CSOs in FY15 in Azerbaijan, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Solomon Islands, Tanzania and Zambia. Support was provided in Papua New Guinea through a contract with PWYP.
Results from CSO trainingSince the April 2015 NRGI workshop in Istanbul, participants have used the skills developed in the training to undertake analysis and impact policy debates in their country.
CSO attendees from Azerbaijan used the methodology and skills developed in the workshop to analyze Azerbaijan’s newest EITI report data on issues including SOE activities, transit revenues, social payments and beneficial ownership. Released in October, their analysis includes concrete policy recommendations for the government, state oil company, auditor and MSG. The analysis has already sparked debate, and government representatives have indicated that they will give serious consideration to the recommendations.
EURASIA
In April 2015, thirty-five participants from seven countries across the Eurasia region participated in the NRGI training held in Istanbul, including representatives from civil society, parliament, industry and MSG members. Topics of training included license allocation, revenue collection, and state-owned enterprises. Workshop participants identified questions for further inquiry and developed preliminary analysis on legal and fiscal policy, oversight mechanisms, and institutional coordination.
LATIN AMERICA
In September 2015, a regional civil society workshop was convened by the Latin American Network on Extractive Industries (Red Latinoamericana sobre Industrias Extractivas, RLIE), the Civil Society Roundtable for Transparency in the Extractive Industries (Mesa de Sociedad Civil para la Transparencia en las Industrias Extractivas), Fundacion Foro Nacional por Colombia, the Externado University of Colombia, Transparencia por Colombia, and the PWYP coalition, with support from NRGI and Cordaid. The workshop aimed to advance ideas on how to broaden the relevance and impact of extractives transparency, including on environmental issues, within national, regional and international processes. Since the meeting, participants continue planning for the development of mechanisms for environmental information disclosures, such as mapping environmental taxes and fees in the extractive sector.
National Level
PWYP has been working with its national CSO coalitions to develop EITI action plans that focus on four main areas: 1) coalition building; 2) strategy development and coordinated

also now serving as a networking forum for national secretariat staff and MSG members that help strengthen relationships for ongoing knowledge sharing. Below is a list of the training activities supported by EITI-MDTF in FY15.
EITI Community of Practice (CoP)
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Community of Practice (CoP) is an online forum that brings together members of EITI multi-stakeholder groups (MSGs) from diverse countries to communicate directly with one another. The EITI CoP, supported through the EITI-MDTF and administered by the World Bank, was launched in September 2014, due to demand from MSG members in various countries for continuous country-to-country dialogue.
Currently, there are over 200 members of the CoP from more than 38 countries worldwide, as well as a number of experts from Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), Publish What You Pay (PWYP), the EITI International Secretariat and the World Bank. Several donors and EITI International Board members have joined the online platform as well. The EITI CoP monthly newsletter reaches 450+ recipients, and includes latest updates
EITI Global Training
As the EITI continues to grow and expand both in scope and number of member countries, there continues to be considerable demand for capacity building and peer learning from members of national secretariats as well as from new and old members of MSGs. In total, EITI-MDTF supported nine training and knowledge activities with more than 236 participants in FY15. Training activities focused on the EITI Standard, linking the EITI to national context and policy priorities, reporting and use of data and effective communications. There has also been greater demand for training on thematic areas such as beneficial ownership, data reliability, data openness, and artisanal mining.
While EITI training in the past typically focused on explaining the EITI Requirements, there is now greater focus on sharing lessons learned from implementing the Standard and exploring good practices and approaches. Implementing countries have taken more ownership in terms of delivering workshop content and leading peer-learning events. In some regions, cross-country peer reviews of EITI reports have been introduced as a means of encouraging improvements to implementation. Workshops are

Country Updates
BURUNDI: Announced intention to implement
Burundi formally announced its intention to implement EITI in January 2015. In 2014, EITI-MDTF funded a Technical Assistance program that produced a scoping study which informed the government’s decision to begin implementing EITI. The scoping study found discrepancies between declared exports and actual production as well as revealed the scope and breadth of mining in the country, which is predominantly artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). The study also informed the country’s broader extractive industries reform program, including goals of establishing a mineral database as well as simplifying taxation and improving monitoring of ASM operations. Due to political instability, Burundi has delayed further progress on its commitment to apply for EITI candidacy.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: Achieved Compliance
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) became an EITI Candidate Country in 2010 and was declared Compliant in 2014. The EITI-MDTF funded a technical assistance project to strength the National Secretariat and design a work plan format that helped the country achieve validation and sustain EITI momentum beyond compliance. EITI-MDTF funds financed the publication of the 2011 EITI report and the dissemination of the report to stakeholders, which resulted in the country’s compliant status. EITI-MDTF funds also financed the 2012 report, produced under the EITI standard. In 2014, 450 representatives from civil society, mining companies and the government benefited from training on the EITI Standard in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Matadi. In addition, media and communications training was provided to 150 participants in both Matadi and Kinshasa.
AFRICA In FY15, 39 percent of EITI-MDTF funds were disbursed in Africa with 15active grants. Countries such as
Chad, Guinea, and DRC advanced to compliant status, with Seychelles achieving candidate status in 2014.
Tanzania was temporarily suspended in September 2015 for missing a reporting deadline. Outreach efforts
were made to bring new countries onboard to EITI in Burundi, Gabon, Kenya and Malawi. Preparatory work
for a new grant in Ghana was also conducted in FY15. Efforts in Malawi were successful with the country
becoming and EITI Candidate in October 2015.

ETHIOPIA: Candidate Country makes progress on knowledge exchange, communications and CSO engagement.
Ethiopia was admitted as an EITI Candidate country in March 2014 and has made significant progress in implementing the EITI. With EITI-MDTF support, a national secretariat and National Steering Committee (similar to MSG in other countries) was established and completed workshops to build awareness of the EITI at national and regional levels. Ethiopia prepared its first report and participated in knowledge exchanges with other African EITI implementing countries in Tanzania and Congo. The MSG is working on a comprehensive communications strategy to raise awareness about EITI. CSO engagement is increasing and an informal CSO network on EITI was created.
LIBERIA: Compliant country overcomes setbacks of Ebola
Liberia has been an EITI Compliant Country since 2009, and to date has published five EITI reports covering years 2008 to 2012. Liberia’s EITI reporting is notable for going beyond the required oil and mining sectors to include forestry and agriculture. Liberia has done impressive work, with EITI-MDTF and other donor support, to engage the public and civil society in building awareness and understanding of the EITI. In 2015, much of the reporting and public engagement work was delayed due to the Ebola virus disease outbreak. The government is still on track to produce its 2014 report, which will include recommendations on how to address governance and revenue lapses discovered in the 2011 report.
MADAGASCAR: Candidate country makes progress on assessment of mining title management
Madagascar has been an EITI Candidate since 2008 but was suspended in October 2011 due to a coup d’état in January 2009. Following democratic elections in December 2013, the EITI International Board lifted the suspension in June 2014. Despite this political instability, the EITI suspension, and limited funding, Madagascar has continued to publish EITI reports throughout the time since its initial candidacy, completing a total of four reports covering years 2007 to 2013. In 2015, EITI-MDTF provided support for EITI implementation which led to an assessment of the management and transparency of mining titles.
MALAWI: Achieves Candidacy
Malawi achieved Candidate status in October 2015. The President of Malawi announced the decision to join the EITI in June 2014 and appointed an EITI Champion along with a multi-stakeholder group comprised of four representatives each from government, industry and civil society. An interim EITI Secretariat for Malawi EITI (MEITI) has been established within the Ministry of Finance. MEITI has developed a three-year work plan and budget (2015 – 2017) to finance MEITI activities, including EITI report production, capacity building, and dissemination and awareness campaigns.

MALI: EITI-MDTF grant focuses on communicating EITI to wider population
Mali became an EITI Candidate country in 2007, and was designated Compliant in 2011. To date, Mali has published six EITI reports covering years 2006 to 2012, with the 2012 report meeting the new EITI Standard. Mali has received two post-Compliance EITI MDTF grants, with the second becoming effective in April 2015. It is largely focused on supporting communicating EITI to communities and the wider population, as well as creating subnational EITI committees to bring more transparency to the use of funds by local authorities. The 2013 report was due December 2015.
MAURITANIA: Compliant country focuses on training and knowledge exchange
Mauritania became an EITI Candidate Country in 2007 and became a Compliant Country in 2012. Mauritania was temporarily suspended in early 2013 for missing the deadline for its 2010 Report, which was lifted after the June 2013 publication of a joint 2010-2011 Report. Following the publication of the report was an extensive dissemination and outreach campaign covering all regions of the country. In addition, a series of workshops and conferences were held in Nouakchott, the capital, to raise awareness among parliamentarians, journalists, academics, and other stakeholders about the EITI. In particular, there was a week-long training organized by GIZ, with EITI-MDTF and Publish What You Pay support, to review and expand the national EITI work plan and to foster knowledge exchange with neighboring Senegal. A separate World Bank IDA credit also provided additional financing to the EITI, making it possible for the Secretariat to undertake comprehensive assessments of the national EITI process. Recommendations from these assessments have substantially contributed to Mauritania’s EITI work plan for 2014-2016.
MOZAMBIQUE: Compliant country reporting goes beyond the requirements and increases CSO outreach
Mozambique became an EITI Candidate in 2009 and achieved compliant status in 2012. To date, the country has published five reports covering fiscal years 2008 to 2012, recording a large increase in government revenue from the extractive industries over time. The most recent report included company-by-company payment and production data, as well as descriptions of in-kind royalties and first steps towards disclosing the beneficial ownership of companies. In addition to supporting EITI Reports, MDTF grants have supported extensive outreach and capacity building efforts. In 2014 and 2015, successful CSO capacity building workshops were held in three regions and going forward these programs will be rolled out across all provinces.
In 2011, the World Bank also initiated a grant through the CSO Direct Support Program. Over the past two years, three provincial workshops, reaching 120 participants (31 female), were conducted. The workshops sought to help in disseminating EITI reports, as well as inform participants about EITI – how it fits into natural resources governance, how it can be used to advance transparency and development goals, and how to effectively communicate about EITI. In addition, the grant funded a series of communications events and development of materials in the local language.

NIGERIA: Compliant country makes progress on EITI data and capacity building
Nigeria became an EITI Candidate country in 2007, achieving compliant status in 2011. In 2014 and 2015, the national secretariat, with EITI-MDTF funding, held training on understanding the oil and gas production process as well as improving the quality of analysis in reports. Work started on development of an automated data transfer and analysis program for oil and gas to improve the quality and timeliness of audits. In May 2015, the new Nigerian administration expressed its commitment to use the governance and administrative reforms recommended in earlier NEITI audits as a guide to reform the oil, gas, and mining sectors. Nigeria mostly self-financed the EITI process from the national budget.
SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE: Candidate country publishes first EITI Report
Sao Tome and Principe was accepted as an EITI Candidate country in 2012 after being delisted in 2010. In December 2014, after delays due to elections and a government transition, Sao Tome published its first EITI report covering fiscal years 2003 to 2013. The initial delisting was due to difficulties in arranging reporting for revenue tied to the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) – a region administered independently by a bi-national agency under a treaty with Nigeria due to conflicting sovereignty claims providing a 60/40 split of revenue between Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe, respectively. For the first report, acquiring data for JDZ revenue again proved problematic. In May 2015, dissemination of the EITI report to the MSG and government representatives took place and work on wider dissemination of these results as well as preparation of the second EITI report is ongoing.
SENEGAL: Candidate country focuses on coalition building and training
Senegal began implementing EITI in 2012, becoming a Candidate country in 2013. The national secretariat has made fast progress in building awareness of EITI and building a broad coalition of parliamentarians, local government officials, and civil society through a series of workshops and outreach efforts. Moody’s Credit Rating agency noted Senegal’s EITI Candidacy as a reason for upgrading the country’s credit rating in early 2014. The first two reports, covering 2012 and 2013, were completed in 2015. The national EITI secretariat has secured support from a wide variety of funding sources in addition to EITI-MDTF. Workshops have included targeting local communities and training national media on EITI and extractives sector issues.
SEYCHELLES: Achieves Candidacy
Seychelles became an EITI Candidate country in August 2014, and secured an EITI- MDTF grant effective March 2015. Though the country currently has no extractives production, exploration activities in the island nation’s waters have led to concerns about the environmental risks of off-shore drilling. The government has proactively engaged stakeholders to encourage and manage responsible petroleum development. Progress has been made on the EITI process, with hiring of an Independent Administrator for auditing and a local lawyer to evaluate legal changes needed to support the EITI framework. In addition, the EITI-MDTF grant funded the hiring of a consultant and workshops with other regional EITI coordinators to help the government strengthen its capacity in oil sector management and EITI implementation.

TANZANIA: Candidate country strengthens CSO network
Tanzania became an EITI Candidate country in 2009 and achieved compliance in 2013. In 2013, the EITI-MDTF supported a Tanzanian delegation to travel to Monrovia, Liberia for a regional EITI exchange focused on knowledge transfer to Ethiopia, which had just become an EITI candidate country. In addition the EITI-MDTF conducted a CSO Support program in Tanzania. Three sub-national workshops were held to improve awareness, understanding, and potential uses of EITI as well as improving awareness of extractive industries activity in Tanzania. The workshops also sought to broaden and improve capacity of the civil society network within Tanzania, particularly addressing coordination and national-local linkages.
ZAMBIA: Candidate country focuses on improving EITI data
Zambia became an EITI Candidate country in 2009 and achieved compliance in 2012. To date, Zambia has prepared five reports covering years 2008 to 2013. The EITI-MDTF has supported EITI implementation in Zambia through technical assistance for a scoping study to improve data gathering for EITI reports, workshops and analysis to ensure broad stakeholder participation, improve data and analysis of reports, and help disseminate results.

Indonesia is First ASEAN Country to Achieve EITI ComplianceIndonesia was formally recognized as an Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Compliant country at the International Board meeting of the EITI, held in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar in October 2014. Indonesia is the first member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to achieve compliance with EITI after joining the initiative in 2010.
“This achievement marks an historic moment for our country, given the importance of extractive industries to our economy and our effort to ensure that the revenues generated are directed to benefit the people,” said Dr. Montty Girianna, Head of the Indonesian EITI Multi Stakeholder Group (MSG) and Deputy Coordinating Minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Bringing transparency to the extractive industries in Indonesia is a top priority for the country given that the sector represented 16 percent of GDP (7 percent from mining and 8.5 percent from oil and gas) and more than 40 percent of exports (22 percent from mining and 20 percent from oil and gas) in 2011. Indonesia is also the world’s top exporter of tin, bauxite, nickel and thermal coal. Moreover, oil, gas, minerals and coal revenues account for about one-third of Indonesia’s national budget.
“EITI has helped build bridges in Indonesia between civil society, the government and private industry at national and subnational level so we can work together to ensure that extractive industries revenues are benefiting the poor,” said Joko Purwanto, representative from civil society on
the Indonesian EITI MSG and member of the Bojonegoro Institute, an NGO from the East Java province.
Given the scale and complex nature of Indonesia´s extractives sector, compiling information on all payments and revenues from the oil, gas and mining sectors has been exceptionally challenging. One factor that added to the complexity of the process is that mining licenses in Indonesia are issued by both national and local governments. According to the EITI report, there are 11,037 active mining licenses in Indonesia, for which there is no central registry or recording system to determine their owners. This issue, coupled with Indonesia’s strict taxpayer confidentiality laws made the process of identifying the major mining companies very difficult, but after close analysis of royalties and other payments, Indonesia’s EITI report captured 67.8% of payments and revenues from mining with overall coverage of the 2011 EITI report, including oil and gas, capturing 91.38% of payments and revenues from the sector.
To support Indonesia in its efforts to implement the EITI, the World Bank has provided training, technical assistance and financial support. Over the period of EITI implementation in Indonesia the World Bank administered Multi Donor Trust Fund (EITI MDTF*) has provided over US $2 million to the government to establish a secretariat, train stakeholders involved in the process, conduct communications and outreach and pay for the financial reconciliations.

EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC East Asia and Pacific, which represented 27 percent of the funds with 7 active grants, also advanced in EITI
participation. Myanmar became a candidate country, where EITI-MDTF is providing support to implement
EITI. Indonesia originally advanced to compliant status Oct 2014, but was temporarily suspended for missing
a report deadline in Feb 2015. Outreach efforts were made to bring Lao PDR onboard to EITI.
INDONESIA: The EITI-MDTF supported Indonesia’s work on the overdue 2012-2013 report
Indonesia became an EITI Candidate country in 2010, becoming EITI Compliant in October 2014. In that time, the country prepared two EITI reports covering years 2009 to 2011. The second report received wide dissemination, and the national secretariat organized outreach and EITI socialization programs. However, following the country’s failure to produce its 2012 report (the first required to meet the EITI Standard) prior to the December 2014 deadline, the EITI International Board suspended Indonesia in February 2015. The EITI-MDTF funded work on the 2012-2013 report that was completed by the end of 2015. The report also included a new scoping study for Indonesia EITI. EITI-MDTF funds and World Bank assistance are helping both the MSG and national secretariat in overcoming organization, technical and strategic obstacles to Indonesia’s EITI implementation.
MONGOLIA: Compliant country makes progress on automating data collection and transparency legislation
Mongolia began to implement EITI in 2006, becoming a candidate in 2007 and achieved compliance in 2010. To strengthen transparency in extractives, a draft Transparency in Mineral Resources Sector Law has been submitted to a parliamentary commission. Part of the draft legislation proposes the EITI Secretariat be financed through the national budget. In addition, an electronic data reporting system was implemented with 987 companies already using the new system. In addition, EITI-MDTF grants have funded the Mongolia EITI Secretariat and MSG from its inception, helping to print reports, fund public engagement, and support capacity building at national and sub-national levels, while the government self-financed production of the reconciliation reports.
MYANMAR: Candidate country builds awareness for EITI implementation
Myanmar was accepted as a Candidate country in June 2014 and hosted the semi-annual EITI Board meeting in October 2014. The EITI-MDTF and other donors have funded extensive efforts to build awareness and capacity for EITI implementation among government, business, and civil society. EITI outreach and awareness have been highly successful, with wide discussion of EITI by government officials and in media. Key to this have been the Legal Review prepared in 2013 and the Institutional and Regulatory Assessment published in March 2015, as well as extensive workshops and trainings. The EITI Secretariat has transitioned from a quasi-independent think-tank to the Ministry of Finance and work on the country’s first Reconciliation Report on schedule for the January 2016 due date. In addition to EITI-MDTF contributions, UK DfID has also allocated a $640,000 grant that is also being executed by the World Bank.

PAPUA NEW GUINEAPNG became a Candidate Country in March 2014 and has until March 2016 to produce its first EITI Report, which is on track to be published by around December 2015 (covering 2013 data).
The World Bank has been working with PNG on EITI implementation since 2008 and has provided technical assistance and briefings to government, funded workshops and scoping studies and supported a visit by the Timor-Leste Secretary of State for Natural Resources. PNG-EITI’s first permanent National Coordinator was appointed in March 2015 and the recruitment of the remaining staff is expected to be completed in 2016.
To support the active participation of civil society in the EITI process, a new CSO Coordinator was recruited, which is financed by the EITI-MDTF through Publish What You Pay and overseen by the new CSO umbrella organization, PNG Resource Governance Coalition. A CSO workshop on the EITI was held in late September 2015 and CSOs ran a provincial roadshow in Madang in November and have planned two more (in Kokopo and East New Britain) in December. In addition, the coalition, together with the Secretariat, launched a media campaign via print, radio and television in November.
PHILIPPINES: Candidate country publishes their first EITI report and goes beyond minimum reporting requirements
The Philippines announced its implementation of EITI in 2012 and formally became a Candidate Country in 2013. The EITI-MDTF provided the majority of funding for the Philippines’ EITI process, supporting the establishment and operation of the PH-EITI National Secretariat, the production of the second EITI report and outreach to government (both national and sub-national), industry groups and civil society. In December 2014, the Philippines published its first EITI report covering 2012 and 2013. Over the past year with EITI-MDTF support, the MSG has undertaken considerable outreach among local communities across the country, as well as ongoing advocacy towards the legal formalization of the EITI process.
SOLOMON ISLANDS: Candidate country reports on minimal mining operations
Solomon Islands has been an EITI candidate since 2012 and has made significant progress establishing a national
EITI Secretariat, MSG, and publishing reports for fiscal years 2012 and 2013. However, during this period there was only one active mine in the country, the Gold Ridge Mine, which shut down in 2014. Small payments covered in the report from exploration and prospecting work were limited as well, with only the two largest of 35 companies agreeing to report. The SIEITI has decided to include unilateral (government-only) reporting from 28 of these companies.
Results in the Philippines ReportThe multi-stakeholder group (MSG) tasked with leading the EITI process in the Philippines went above and beyond the global requirements for financial and contextual information, and focused their inquiries on Philippines-specific issues.
• Evaluation of Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) with Indigenous Peoples (IP): The PH-EITI Report disclosed for the first time 37 MOAs between mining companies and IP groups, enabling civil society representatives to make a thorough evaluation of them.
• Contract Disclosure: PH-EITI, in partnership with Open Data Philippines, disclosed 36 mining contracts and three oil and gas service contracts which may now be accessed at Open Data’s PH-EITI page.
• Maps of mining tenements: The PH-EITI Report includes maps of mining tenements and significant exploration activities that will allow viewers to see how much companies in specific locations are paying and whether the corresponding payments go to the Local Governments hosting these operations.
• Disclosure of Company-maintained Environmental Funds and FPIC Expenditures: The PH-EITI Report provides information about the structure of company environmental funds, as well as quantitative data on the degree to which they are implemented on the ground. In addition, PH-EITI includes monitoring reports on how companies are complying with regulations and tracking expenses associated with obtaining Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) from mining-affected communities.

EITI Candidacy Approval is a Breakthrough for MyanmarMyanmar President Thein Sein said “we want to use the EITI to ensure that resources are developed and managed in a transparent manner for the sustainable benefit of our people. Becoming a member of EITI will be a tangible result from these reforms.”
Myanmar began its EITI preparation in 2012 and has been working to meet the requirements necessary to be declared a candidate country. The World Bank has contributed to this preparatory work, with funding from the U.K. Department for International Development and the EITI Multi-Donor Trust Fund. Other donors supporting the EITI process through bilateral funding include the European Union, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the U.S. State Department, and the Government of Norway. This work culminated in the EITI International Board’s approval of Myanmar´s application to become a Candidate country at the Mexico City board meeting in June 2014.
“This milestone is a testament to the new level of national dialogue on extractive industries in Myanmar, “ said the World Bank Group’s Country Manager in Myanmar, Kanthan Shankar. “The World Bank Group is pleased to have been part of the process so far, and we look forward to continuing the collaboration with the Myanmar EITI Multi-Stakeholder Group and the development partners who have supported the process.”
Among the notable achievements of EITI implementation to date is the multi-stakeholder model which is being used as a platform to bring together diverse—and diverging—voices that can advance the country’s reconciliation.
“EITI has brought together civil society, government and companies, when only a few years ago we never could have imagined this possible,” said Director General of the Myanmar Ministry of Mines, Mr. Win Htein.
One of the country´s leading civil society networks, The Myanmar Alliance for Transparency and Accountability (MATA), is playing a key role coordinating stakeholders within the EITI process.
“EITI implementation is a great opportunity to build our capacity, engage with government and institutionalize multi-stakeholder engagement” said Mr. Wong Aung, a civil society representative on the EITI Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) as well as International Coordinator of Shwe Gas Movement which is part of the MATA network. “We hope the EITI Multi-Stakeholder Group dialogue will facilitate real commitment to reform,” he said.

ALBANIA: Legislative amendment requires companies and government to report according to the EITI Standard.
Albania became an EITI Candidate country in 2009 and achieved compliant status in 2013. Both the 2011 and 2012 reports were produced under the Standard. In March 2015 the Albanian government amended the Hydrocarbon Law to now require all hydrocarbon contract holders, as well as all national and local government institutions, to report revenues and payments in line with EITI reporting requirements. This year EITI-MDTF grants funded studies on revenue potential and integrated data systems to further improve Albania’s EITI framework. In addition to implementing EITI reporting, Albania has focused on leveraging EITI to enhance overall management and governance of the extractives sector. In particular, with progress of the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, the government has sought to leverage the sector for overall infrastructure and development goals.
AZERBAIJAN: Direct Support to CSOs makes progress
Azerbaijan began implementing EITI in 2004 and became Compliant in 2009. The country has published EITI reports covering years 2003 to 2013. Changes in legislation in mid-2014 have made the operating environment for NGOs in Azerbaijan more difficult. As a result, the EITI International Board decided that Azerbaijan should return to Candidate status.
From August 2014 to April 2015, the World Bank conducted a direct EITI Civil Society Support Project in Azerbaijan. The grant achieved its four main objectives: translation of the EITI Standard into the Azerbaijani language; website development to explain EITI and the NGO Coalition’s work in local language as well as deploy e-learning modules; workshop held to develop a comprehensive communications strategy; and three workshops in communities affected by the extractives sector to increase public awareness and participation in EITI. The communications workshop had 20 participants (9 women), and the three regional workshops had a total of 332 participants (103 women).
KYRGYZ REPUBLICKyrgyz Republic became an EITI Candidate country in 2007 and achieved compliance in 2011. Its 2012 EITI report was published in April 2014. During 2013 and 2014, EITI-MDTF supported the national secretariat’s outreach efforts, such as a seminar on the strengthening of trust between local communities and the extractive companies. This seminar brought together members of the public, local authorities, and private entrepreneurs in the Chatkal District of Jalal-Abad Region, where many companies are engaged in prospecting and exploration. The national secretariat also co-hosted a technical seminar with the local Chamber of Tax Consultants on changes in tax legislation that affect subsoil users.

Tajikistan became an EITI Candidate country in February 2013. Tajikistan was suspended in April 2015 after missing a February 2015 deadline for its first EITI report. The national MSG has commissioned a scoping study to inform its 2013 report. Tajikistan has also agreed to participate in the beneficial ownership pilot project, committing to collecting this information for its reports.
UKRAINE: Prepared draft law on transparency and accountability
Ukraine became an EITI Candidate Country in 2013. In 2015, with the leadership of the Ministry of Energy and Fuel, the government appointed fiduciary experts and recruited an independent administrator to begin implementation of the EITI standard. Ukraine’s EITI MSG has also prepared a draft law on transparency and accountability with significant input from civil society and other stakeholders.
Bringing Mining Profits Into the Open in the Kyrgyz Republic The Kyrgyz Republic is rich in gold and other minerals. Consequently the mining industry is responsible for about 10 percent of total GDP and over 40 percent of the country´s export earnings. To ensure that the mining industry is accountable and transparent, the Kyrgyz Republic joined the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in 2004.
Participation and transparency are key, says Kalia Moldogazieva, Director of the “Tree of Life” CSO. “The idea of equal participation of CSOs is important. CSOs need to know what’s happening because the mineral resources belong to the people of the Kyrgyz Republic, and they need to know what’s going on.”
Abdylda Temirberdiev runs a CSO near the city of Osh. He says that EITI has made mining companies more responsive to the demands of local communities, which has improved relations and soothes tensions. “It’s very helpful in getting companies to be more responsible.”
EITI also makes the country a more attractive place for foreign investment. The gold mining company Kumtor, based in Canada, was responsible for 6 percent of the Kyrgyz Republic’s GDP last year. Kumtor paid nearly US$80 million in taxes on US$775 million of gross proceeds. It
wholly supports EITI, says the company’s Rysbek Toktogul. “Apart from the transparency, EITI addresses shareholders’ issues, so taxes and revenue, for example, are consistent with the government’s numbers, and those figures are out for the public to see.”
EITI is a tool for fairness, says Karibek Ibraev, who runs the EITI Secretariat in the Kyrgyz Republic; it is a way to make sure the companies don’t get rich while the people stay poor. “The Kyrgyz Republic, during the last ten years, has gone through two revolutions. In 2011, the country reached compliance with EITI, they have to provide reports and be transparent, state their output, profits, and all that information goes to the public.”

LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN EITI-MDTF support for Latin America and the Caribbean represented 7 percent of total commitments, with
7 active grants. Trinidad and Tobago advanced to compliant status, and Colombia succeeded in achieving
candidate status. Outreach efforts were made to bring new countries onboard to EITI in the Dominican
Republic, Mexico, Panama and Suriname.
COLOMBIA: New Candidate country
Colombia started working towards EITI candidacy in 2012 and was formally admitted in October 2015. The key step to reaching candidacy was the establishment of the multi-stakeholder group in Colombia, called the National Tripartite Committee. Although they have different interests and mandates, the Committee has pledged to work together to strengthen the transparency and accountability of the extractives sector in Colombia. EITI implementation in Colombia is part of the country´s broader commitment to the Open Government Partnership.
GUATEMALA: Recovers compliant status
Guatemala became an EITI Compliant country in 2014 following the publication of a joint 2010-2011 EITI report. Guatemala was temporarily suspended by the EITI Board due to failure to submit its 2012 report on time. With EITI-MDTF support, Guatemala was able to publish a joint report covering fiscal years 2012 and 2013 in June 2015, which allowed the suspension to be lifted. EITI-MDTF funds are now supporting the preparation of Guatemala’s 2014 report.
HONDURAS: Published its first EITI report and builds capacity
Honduras began implementing EITI in 2012 and was formally accepted as a Candidate country in May 2013. With EITI-MDTF support, Honduras published its first EITI Report in May 2015 covering 2012 and 2013. The EITI-MDTF also funded two MSG members – one from the government and the other from civil society – to attend the EITI regional training conference in Lima, Peru in June 2015.
In addition, EITI-Honduras supported capacity building of the multi-stakeholder group (National Council) and a wider group of civil society organizations through a series of workshops, one on the “Extractive Industries Value Chain” in September 2015 and another on conflict resolution in the sector in October 2015. Both events were led by the Center for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at the Pontifica Universidad Catolica del Peru.

PERU: EITI reporting covers more companies and two subnational reports
Peru became an EITI Candidate country in 2007 and a compliant country in 2012. In total, Peru has prepared four reports, covering 2004 to 2013. Over that time, Peru’s EITI reporting has seen significant progress, including the number of companies covered from 33 to 63. EITI-MDTF funds are currently helping with the preparation of Peru’s first two regional EITI reports. In addition, EITI-MDTF funds have supported Peruvian participation in Latin American regional EITI events. Going forward, Peru’s government seeks to improve its extractives industry oversight, prepare its fifth EITI report, and the country will host the 7th EITI Global Conference in Lima.
TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Achieves compliance
Trinidad & Tobago became an EITI Candidate country in 2011, and after a series of validation extensions, was designated as Compliant by the EITI International Board in January 2015. Oil and gas made up 44% of GDP and 84% of exports in 2012. Trinidad & Tobago has published two EITI Reports to date.
24
MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA Of the total funds in FY15, 14 percent provided support in Middle East and North Africa Region with one
active grant. The EITI-MDTF focused on providing EITI implementation support in Iraq.
IRAQ: Compliant country with adapted implementation
Iraq became an EITI Candidate country in 2010 and was designated as compliant in December 2012. The World Bank has provided Technical Assistance for comprehensive support and oversight of EITI implementation. To date, Iraq has completed four on-time and within-budget reports covering years 2009 to 2012. Addition of Kurdistan (which accounts for nearly half of national production and exports) to EITI reports was achieved after 2012. In 2014, the EITI International Board accepted an Iraq EITI request for adapted implementation due to inability to guarantee the comprehensive disclosure of material payments collected by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
SOUTH ASIA Of the total funds in FY15, 6 percent provided support to the South Asia Region with one active grant to
Afghanistan.
AFGHANISTAN: Strengthens communications, dissemination and training
Afghanistan has been an EITI Candidate country since 2010 and has prepared three EITI reports. Afghanistan received a second phase EITI-MDTF grant effective since November 2015 to continue its implementation of EITI Standard and enhance government’s capacity in fostering transparent development in the extractives sector. The new grant, in addition to continuing support for EITI reports, is enabling further development of the national EITI website, as well as broadcasts of EITI documentaries. MDTF has also funded training and study trips for Afghanistan’s EITI Secretariat and MSG.
