As you may know, the EITI Standard requires implementing countries to disclose information on the financial relationship between the government and the state-owned enterprise, where state participation in the extractive industries gives rise to material revenue payments. Additionally, the reporting process must comprehensively address the role of SOEs.

In preparation for the webinar, kindly read Guidance on SOEs as well as Guidance note 18 for more information on this topic.

For resource-rich developing countries, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a triple crisis: strained public health systems, a sharp decline in commodity prices and abrupt economic downturns. At this critical juncture, transparency and trust are critical in forging smart and responsive policies. As the second event in the Transparency Matters seminar series,

The EITI Standard requires that financial disclosures must be separated by projects, for fiscal years ending on, or after, 31 December 2018. For most countries, this means project-level reporting (PLR) is required in the next round of reporting, by 31 December 2020 at the latest. This webinar covered the frame of PLR and provided guidance on how national secretariats and MSGs can move towards PLR. See EITI Guidance note 29 for further details. 

EITI stakeholders were invited to a seminar on "Why Transparency Matters in the Energy Transition: Helen Clark in conversation with Lord Adair Turner." This was the first event of a new EITI seminar series, Transparency Matters.

There were opportunities for the audience to engage in the debate. The seminar was followed by a reception with refreshments and snacks.
