| This publication builds on the lessons learned by the countries that have led the way in implementing the EITI. A CD-ROM, which contains sample documents produced during the EITI process, supplements the presentation in the book. The book will help those new to the initiative navigate their way through the various steps in implementing an EITI program and will be of interest to readers working in the areas of transparency; governance and anticorruption; mining, oil, gas, and chemicals; and overall corporate governance. The World Bank originated and compiled this publication with the inputs of the World Bank team as well as EITI practitioners in a number of countries through its role as the administrator of the EITI Multi-Donor Trust Fund. As of December 2008, the supporting countries that have contributed to the MDTF were as follows: Australia, Belgium, Canada, European Union, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom--the founding contributor. Funding from the MDTF in producing this report is gratefully acknowledged. |
