WHAT IS EITI?
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is the global standard for transparency and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sectors, and supports national stakeholders in implementing extractive sector reforms. By promoting collaboration in multi-stakeholder groups, data and debate can be leveraged to strengthen extractive sector governance.
The EITI Standard is the global benchmark for transparency and accountability in the oil, gas, and mining sectors. As a framework for disclosure and multi-stakeholder oversight, the EITI Standard is designed to empower governments, industry and civil society to promote understanding of natural resource management; strengthen public and corporate governance and accountability; and provide the data to inform policymaking and debate.
The Council is chaired by the Secretary to the Treasury under the Ministry of Finance and National Planning, with a Vice-Chairperson selected from civil society organisations. By fostering transparency, EITI strengthens accountability in Zambia’s extractive sector, ensuring that resource wealth benefits all citizens.
