Description
Commitment 8.6.1: Production and Publication of the Annual EITI Reports
As required by the EITI International Secretariat, it is a mandatory requirement for each EITI member country to produce and publish EITI Reports on an annual basis. The reports prescribe and disclose the benefits distributions among the government, developers, and landowners. The disclosure of the portion of benefit distributions increases visibility and builds confidence among landowners and investors.
Through the OGP lenses, the private sector and corporate investors are expected to be accountable, transparent, and responsive to citizens' needs and demands. This includes projects financed under the tax credit scheme in lieu of the company tax.
Tables 1-4 below provide a summary of the commitment's activities, key milestones, strategies, and indicators.
