| Summary: | The Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative (EITI) is an international standard to promote
open and accountable management of natural resources. By
encouraging governments, extractive companies, civil society
and the public to engage in discourse around transparency of
the extractive sector, it aims to facilitate the management
of a country’s natural resource wealth to benefit all its
citizens. The EITI is implemented at the national level. As
of June 2016, 51 countries are implementing the EITI in
accordance with the 2016 EITI Standard. Since its inception,
EITI implementing countries have published EITI Reports
covering more than 300 fiscal years. This report provides
format options and recommendations for data output for EITI
Requirements listed under the 2016 EITI Standard. These
recommendations are based on identifying commonly used and
evolving data categories under each Requirement and spell
out qualitative and quantitative data formats. Where
international standards are available and where these are
emerging, the report uses these as its basis of
recommendations. The recommendations for data outputs are
meant to compliment the narrative provided within the
Country Report, and is not to be considered a replacement
for other reporting requirements under the EITI. The
objective of this report is to present, in a structured
form, data categories and their reporting formats, that can
be used to standardize information generated under each EITI
Requirement. The review conducted for this study included a
sample of recent EITI Country Reports, as well as other
initiatives and industry standards. These recommendations
should be considered as a contribution in the efforts
towards standardizing data reporting under EITI
Requirements, and need to be tested to identify issues with
data collection under the headings as categorized in this report. |
