Future agenda of EITI

• the need for all EITI stakeholders –governments, private sector, civil society and international organizations- to protect the gains of the EITI process to date;

• to further empower civil society so it becomes a demand-agent for accountability;

• to take bolder steps in implementing other reforms that will strengthen broader public financial management along the whole extractive industries value chain.

• opening remarks of the World Bank’s Managing Director Sri Mulyani Indrawati on EITI Global Conference in Paris

Future Directions of EITI

• Create a system that provides incentives to implementing countries to go beyond ‘minimum standard’;

• Encourage linkages with other governance reform processes;

• Maintain a minimum, albeit more nuanced, EITI standard;

• Address weaknesses of the current validation system;

• Strengthen the emphasis on country ownership.
