The fundamental rationale behind
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is that
increased transparency and knowledge of revenues from the
extractive industries will empower citizens and institutions
to hold governments accountable. By implementing EITI at the
sub national level, countries could reduce opportunities for
mismanagement or diversion of funds from sustainable
development purposes, especially for prominent oil, gas, or
mining regions. It is also an effective way of strengthening
EITI local ownership among stakeholders. This report
presents a preliminary analysis of emerging experiences in
EITI countries implementing sub national EITI. Six countries
have been selected as case studies: Ghana, Indonesia,
Mongolia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(DRC), and Peru. Based on these experiences, the report
proposes a common operational framework for implementing
EITI at the sub national level, laying the ground for
further practical guidelines on deepening or strengthening
the sub national plans or activities of implementing countries.
