| Project Detail |
The objective of the EITI Implementation Support Project is to enhance transparency in Iraq s extractives sector through support of the government’s activities on the implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). The proposed grant (first year budget $0.35 million) will retain, consolidate and further develop the existing body of skills of the Iraq National EITI Secretariat, and members of the IEITI MSG in understanding and implementing the EITI Standard, 2016. In line with the increasing focus of “mainstreaming” within the EITI and the Iraq Government s commitment to publicly disclosing production volumes and corresponding revenues, the project will place an emphasis on linking EITI and government disclosures. Improving civil society participation within the IEITI MSG and use of EITI information and institutionalizing EITI-type transparency will also be priorities for the project. The components of the project include: EITI report production, including consultant’s services to prepare the report, data collection, dissemination, stakeholder workshops and consultations; capacity support to IEITI MSG and IEITI Secretariat, including training; outreach and public data: enhancement of IEITI website, including design of an online interactive web portal; and program management and operating costs, including stationary, transportation, telecommunication etc. |
