Independent Evaluation Group2015-01-222015-01-222011-02-18978-1-60244-171-2https://hdl.handle.net/10986/21343The main finding of this review is that the Multi-Donor Trust Fund-Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (MDTF-EITI) program is in the process of achieving its objective of increasing transparency of revenues in resource-dependent countries. Given the resilience and pervasiveness of the resource curse, the achievement of this narrowly defined objective in a few critical countries is a notable accomplishment that has created the momentum needed to attract a growing number of countries, donors, enterprises and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) a testimony of their hope that, in spite of the uncertainty and risks, the benefits will be forthcoming in due course. The findings of the present review suggest that to ensure that tangible benefits in terms of improved revenue management and accountability can be achieved, the program needs to satisfactorily address the emerging doubts about the adequacy of the program in the absence of complementary measures, tackle issues with the scope and quality of the EITI reports, manage the tensions between authority and accountability, and face up to the tradeoff between expanding the number of EITI candidates and improving results in countries that are already implementing EITI. The EITIapos;s stakeholders are aware of these issues, which have already been discussed at several Board meetings and workshops. What is needed now is a roadmap for the second phase built around a unifying principle that can help to reconcile and prioritize among competing demands.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING PERIODSACCOUNTING PRACTICESALLOCATION OF RESOURCESALUMINUMANTI-CORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION STRATEGYARTISANAL AND SMALL-SCALE MININGAUDITINGAUTHORITYAUTONOMYBENEFICIARIESBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBUDGETARY SUPPORTCAPACITY BUILDINGCASCASMCITIZENSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOMPLAINTCONSENSUSCONSTITUENCIESCONSTITUENCYCORRUPTCORRUPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONCORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDICESCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONSCORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEXCPIDECISION MAKINGDEGREE OF AUTONOMYDEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESEIEI DEVELOPMENTEI PROJECTSEI REVENUESEIBEITIEITI APPROACHEITI PRINCIPLESEXPENDITUREEXTRACTIVE COMPANIESEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVEEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY PROJECTSEXTRACTIVE RESOURCESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL REVENUEFISCAL REVENUESFISCAL TRANSPARENCYGASGAS FLARING REDUCTIONGOVERNANCE INDICATORSGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT REVENUESHIPCINCOMEINSTITUTIONAL INVESTORSINSTITUTIONAL REFORMINTERMEDIATE OUTCOMESINTERVENTIONINVESTMENT CLIMATELACK OF TRANSPARENCYLAWSLEARNINGLEGAL FRAMEWORKSLEGITIMACYLEVEL PLAYING FIELDMINERAL PRODUCERSMINERAL RESOURCESMINERALSMINERALS PRODUCTIONMINING COMPANIESMINING INDUSTRIESMINING POLICYMINING PRODUCTIONMISMANAGEMENTMONITORING DATAMULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKSNATIONAL LAWSNATURAL RESOURCE WEALTHNATURAL RESOURCESOILOIL COMPANIESOPERATING COSTSPATRONAGEPEER REVIEWPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRESIDENCYPRINCIPLES OF EITIPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCTION-SHARING AGREEMENTSPROGRAMSPUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITYPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSRENT-SEEKING BEHAVIORREPRESENTATIVESRESOURCE CURSERESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESOURCE RENTSRESOURCE REVENUESRESOURCE-DEPENDENT COUNTRIESRESOURCE-RICH COUNTRIESRESOURCE-RICH DEVELOPING COUNTRIESREVENUE DISCLOSUREREVENUE FLOWSREVENUE MANAGEMENTREVENUE TRANSPARENCYREVENUES FROM RESOURCE EXTRACTIONRISK MANAGEMENTRULE OF LAWSILVERSMALL-SCALESMELTERSOCIAL PERFORMANCESUSTAINABILITYSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRANSPARENCY OF PAYMENTSTRANSPARENCY OF REVENUESTRANSPARENCY OVER PAYMENTSVIOLENCE10.1596/978-1-60244-171-2
