• In countries with extraction is largely new, such as Ghana, it mitigates corruption, contributes to long-term planning and the managing of expectations.
• In post conflict environments, such as Liberia and Timor-Leste, EITI has been useful in building trust and attracting quality foreign direct investment.
• In large countries with complex sectors, such as Nigeria, DRC and Kazakhstan, EITI has been useful in finding out who is doing what and in tracking the money.

• In countries with strong and well-functioning
institutions, such as Norway, EITI can facilitate access to information in a simple and comprehensive format.
