Summary EITI MDTF Work Plan for FY12–FY14
WB/MDTF faces two wide-ranging challenges going forward:
•
Sustain current WB/MDTF support for EITI implementation, through:
- Continued support to implementing countries to achieve compliance status;
- Expanded CSO capacity building efforts;
- Enhanced training beyond stand alone activities;
- Development of the EITI Handbook into an interactive tool for knowledge sharing
and advisory/guidance to all EITI practitioners; and
- Closer follow-up on MDTF results framework and improvements to capturing
country results.
•
Adjust WB/MDTF support to implement the “new” EITI.
WB/MDTF technical assistance and funding would very likely need to be adjusted. Main
implications: scope, time line, cost of MDTF assistance
