This certification course is part of a natural resources management path, some of which is produced in collaboration with the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI). This course includes several distance learning courses:
For certified learners, the path ends with a 5-day face-to-face training course to “Analyze and explore the issues involved in sharing the rent of an extractive project”, organized by the Institute or one of its partners. This session will be in French.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is arguably the most advanced international organization dedicated to promoting better governance in the extractive sector. Established in 2003, it has grown rapidly and now includes nearly sixty member countries.
The EITI is built around a Standard that requires or recommends the disclosure of a broad range of data for each country and year, including production and export volumes and values, as well as revenues collected by levy for each project.
This training course begins with an introduction to the EITI—its role, the Standard, and the data that must be disclosed—before moving on to explain how to access key published data, such as production, exports, and revenues.
