Abstract
This study was undertaken as a desk
review, commissioned by the World Bank (WB), and is focused
on areas of the Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative (EITI) policy, which have proven unclear or
difficult for implementing countries. This report is
designed to collate the key EITI policy implications which
the Policy and Operations Unit (COCPO) team had identified
through its work with EITI countries, and from EITI
implementation experience. The review seeks to emphasize
best practices, identify common constraints, and highlight
results and issues emerging from EITI countries, and the
most recent EITI implementation and reporting cycles. The
report aims to make incremental suggestions to build on this
record of achievement and help maintain broad policy
consistency. In particular the report recognizes that it is
easier to suggest policy changes than actually carry them
out, and it is for this reason that the report makes most of
its suggestions in areas where policy requires clarification
and refinement, in order to make the implementation process
in countries more efficient and less focused on unhelpful
debates on points of interpretation. It suggests areas where
EITI policy might be revised for clarity, and provides
recommendations concerning policy and implementation management.
