Overview
Landfolio software facilitates the provision of data for EITI Reports by government agencies and promotes best practices in EITI Reporting.
Using Landfolio to Facilitate EITI Reporting
Challenge
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) has developed a Global Standard that promotes transparency and improved governance in a country’s extractives sector, ensuring local citizens benefit from extractive activities. The EITI Standard, published in 2013 (www.eiti.org), provides detailed guidelines for a country to achieve and maintain EITI Compliance. The EITI Report publishes payments disclosed by companies and revenues received by governments following reconciliation led by an independent Administrator and overseen by a Multi Stakeholder Group (MSG) composed of members from civil society, corporations, and government.
As a result, government agencies must compile comprehensive, detailed data for EITI reports, including data on revenue streams, commodity reporting, contract disclosures, license ownership, and more. They also need to report by payment type, company and government agency, and project. This can be a timely, inefficient process for government agencies without an advanced system in place.
