| |Implementing the Extractive Industries Transparency |

| (Embedded | Applying Early Lessons from the Field |
| image moved | |
| to file: | Begun by a group of governments, companies, and|
|pic05427.jpg)| civil society groups in 2002, the Extractive|
| | Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) has since|
| | become the highest profile international standard|
| | for promoting transparency and accountability in|
| | countries dependent on oil, gas, minerals, and|
| | metals. The EITI has been called a ?curious|
| | coalition? by some, but it is a coalition that is|
| | now helping to drive good governance and|
| | anticorruption programs in countries across the|
| | world. |
| | |
| | Implementing the Extractive Industries Transparency|
| | Initiative builds on the lessons learned by the|
| | countries that have led the way in implementing the|
| | EITI. The book will help those new to the|
| | initiative navigate their way through the various|
| | steps in implementing an EITI program and will be|
| | of interest to readers working in the areas of|
| | anticorruption; mining; oil, gas, and chemicals;|
| | and corporate governance. |
