Deadline: 22-Mar-22
The International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) invites proposals to develop a submission, in response to the call for views issued in advance of Ethiopia’s upcoming Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) validation, which addresses civil society engagement and the enabling environment for civil society participation in the EITI process in Ethiopia.
The Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is the leading global standard for the good governance of oil, gas, and mineral resources. The EITI Standard requires the disclosure of information along the extractive industry value chain, in order to support accountability in how a country’s natural resources are extracted. Any country with an extractive industry sector is eligible to join the EITI Standard.
Proposals are encouraged to include other activities aimed at addressing constraints on the enabling environment for civil society participation in the EITI process in Ethiopia
Funding Information
