The transition is still ongoing, and not all countries have
produced comprehensive reports under the 2013 Standard
yet. The EITI Standard was further strengthened in 2016,
including requirements on the disclosure of beneficial
ownership, and giving greater recognition to countries that
make transparency a routine feature of their sector governance
(‘mainstreaming’).
So far, 31 countries are EITI compliant based on the ‘slim’
and not sufficiently impact oriented 2011 rules. There are
just 34 countries that implement the EITI for more than
five years. Five years can be considered as a sufficient timelag
that allows results of the EITI to trickle down into datasets
and makes subsequent macro-data analysis and evaluation
of the EITI reasonable.
