MANILA<\/strong>\u2014\u00a0The Philippines is the first country to have successfully obtained a \u2018satisfactory progress\u2019 assessment under the 2016 \u00a0Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Standard.<\/p>\n

EITI is a Norway-based international initiative that promotes open and accountable management of extractive industries, including the mining and oil and gas sectors.<\/p>\n

The 2016 EITI Standard provides a set of requirements for data disclosure or transparency in the industry, from the awarding of licenses and contracts to monitoring production, revenue collection and allocation, as well as socio-economic contribution of the industry.<\/p>\n

EITI is being implemented worldwide by 52 countries to date, including the Philippines, in a bid to be found compliant with the EITI Standard\u00a0(i.e., to be given a \u2018satisfactory progress\u2019 rating)\u00a0after a rigorous validation process.<\/p>\n

As an implementing country, the Philippines established in 2013 the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, or PH-EITI, through Executive Order No.<\/p>\n

PH-EITI is steered by a multi-stakeholder group chaired by the Department of Finance (DOF) and composed of representatives from government, industry, and civil society.<\/p>\n

The Philippines underwent the EITI validation process beginning in January this year. The process culminated in the EITI Board\u2019s decision, placing the country in the historic position of being the first in EITI compliance and serving as a model for other implementing countries.<\/p>\n

According to the statement released by the EITI Board, “the Philippines presents a dynamic case of EITI implementation, with its fast-paced and innovative multi-stakeholder group engaging in strategic discussions linking the EITI to national priorities for the extractive sector.”<\/p>\n

It also said that “EITI has also built trust in a country where the mining sector has often been contentious.”<\/p>\n

At present, there are legislative bills filed in the House of Representatives and in the Senate to institutionalize the PH-EITI.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III has welcomed the announcement of\u00a0the EITI declaring the \u00a0Philippines\u00a0as the first country to have successfully obtained a \u2018satisfactory progress\u2019 assessment under the 2016 EITI Standard.<\/p>\n

“The forum that EITI provides has been indispensable to achieving mutually beneficial collaboration between all stakeholders in the country. With the proper governance framework in place, the extractive industries may do what they do without causing harm,” said Dominguez, who is at the helm of the PH-EITI.<\/p>\n

“To achieve that, they must be transparent and the communities ever watchful.<\/p>\n

I trust that the international recognition we have received will further spur our nation to build institutions of accountability and enterprises that are better able to serve the common good,” he said.<\/p>\n

The 38th EITI board meeting will be held in\u00a0Manila on\u00a0October 25-26<\/span>\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
