Transparency Initiative (EITI)

80 Case Study: Mozambique
9.3 RESULTS AREAS
9.3.1 FISCAL TRANSPARENCY
The study found that no results model or monitoring and
evaluation framework had previously been developed for
the M-EITI process to formally take stock of progress over
time. The systematic monitoring of results has taken place
to date largely through the annual data gathering by the independent
administrators. As the new M-EITI work plan
only entered into effect as of January 1, 2016, is it too early
to assess whether specific interventions by the M-EITI are
effective in achieving their objectives as stated.
Publicly available revenue data from extractive industries:
Significant information about revenues collected from the
extractive industries has been made available to the public,
e.g., the M-EITI reports have become a reliable source of
information for government agencies in their day-to-day
work and have informed dialogue of civil society groups
about the distribution of revenues assigned to selected districts.
Contract transparency: Civil society has pushed for increased
transparency of contracts, including through the
M-EITI establishment. These discussions have fed into a
higher-level policy dialogue in the country. As a result, the
Mining Law 20/2014 includes Article 8.4., requiring companies
to publish all their new contracts. Today, about 75% of
contracts are disclosed by the MIREME, although they still
need to be made more accessible to the general public.
