Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Extractive Industry and Transparency Initiative (EITI) says Liberia has achieved a moderate overall score of 75 points in implementing the 2019 EMT Standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 17 June 2022, the EITI Board agreed that Liberia had achieved a moderate overall score of 75 points in implementing the 2019 EMT Standard,\u201d Madam Helen Clark, EITI Board Chair said in a communication addressed to President George Manneh Weah.<\/p>\n

In the communication dated 17 June 2022, Madam Clark said she was pleased to inform the president of the results of Liberia\u2019s Validation under the revised EITI Standard.<\/p>\n

She explained that Validation provides an opportunity to assess performance and good practice in the extractive sector and to identify opportunities to strengthen the impact of the EITI across all its 56 implementing countries.<\/p>\n

She noted that this result reflects the high-level commitment and dedication of President Weah\u2019s government, key office holders, staff, and Multi-stakeholder Group members.<\/p>\n

She cited the government\u2019s commitment to harness the EITI as a platform to advance reforms, inform public debate, and improve access to information on the mining, oil and gas, forestry, and agriculture sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EITI Board commends your government for achieving a high score of 81.5 points on outcomes and impact,\u201d said Madam Clark.<\/p>\n

\u201cA moderate score of 75 points was achieved on stakeholder engagement but a fairly low score of 69.5 points on transparency,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

It was clear from the Validation that steps have been taken to rebuild the EITI process following resolution of governance issues within the National Secretariat in 2018\/19, she continued.<\/p>\n

And efforts to use the EITI as a platform to bring about reform and debate in the extractive sector have subsequently been resumed, according to the EITI Board.<\/p>\n

It suggested that there are opportunities to build further on these efforts by improving transparency around the award of extractive rights, the beneficial ownership of companies, contracts, and the operations of the national or company while ensuring that EITI objectives are aligned with national priorities for the extractive industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board has determined that Liberia will have until the next Validation commencing on 1 April 2024 to carry out fourteen corrective actions and to consider the strategic recommendations from this Validation,\u201d the communication said.<\/p>\n

It noted also that the International EITI Secretariat stands ready to support the government and the Muti \u2013 stakeholder Group in President Weah\u2019s efforts to take forward implementation of the EITI Standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that the recommendations stemming from the Validation are helpful in directing these efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
