Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative : Combating the Resource Curse in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries
Access to extractive industry resources,
and to the revenues springing from them, is at the root of
many conflicts. Recent examples include the several wars
fought, in part, over access to oil in the Middle East and
wars fueled by 'blood diamonds' in West Africa.
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI),
launched in 2002 and endorsed by the World Bank in 2003, has
provided tangible governance improvements in resource-rich
conflict-affected countries. It works with multiple
stakeholders, a coalition of governments, companies,
investors, international organizations, and civil society
organizations (CSOs), to manage a process of publication and
verification of company payments and government revenues
from oil, gas, and mining. This smart lesson shares our
experience implementing EITI in five prominent conflict
countries and provides recommendations and lessons that may
inform implementers of other World Bank programs in Fragile
and conflict-affected countries.
