Recent activities

Côte d’Ivoire has established an EITI multi-stakeholder group which brings together government, industry and civil society to discuss and promote transparency of revenues from the country’s petroleum, gas and mining sectors. The group has jointly elaborated a workplan with steps to implement the EITI over the coming years. On 7 May the EITI Board welcomed Côte d’Ivoire as a candidate country; it has two years to become compliant with the EITI criteria and undergo validation.

An information campaign has been launched to inform the public about the EITI, including a television programme which explains the initiative and its aim to increase transparency in the sale of Côte d’Ivoire’s resources. You can watch it at: http://www.eitransparency.org/node/364.
