Deadline: 23-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 the Republic of Congo’s upcoming EITI validation, which addresses civil society engagement and the enabling environment for civil society participation in the EITI process in the Republic of Congo.
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: from licensing, to extraction, to the management of revenues by government, to the contribution of these revenues to the economy and society. This transparency is meant 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.
