The EITI aims to ensure that the revenues from extractive industries contribute to sustainable development and poverty reduction.
The website is intended to enable individuals who are concerned with the links between extractive industries and sustainable development, as well as extractive industries and poverty reduction to find available information about the initiative. It aims to be an important clearing house for news, research, and publications related to the initiative and transparency in oil, gas, and mining.
Information available on the website includes information for a range of users:
- for those unfamiliar with the EITI, the basic facts of the initiative in seven languages
- the principles and agreed actions of the EITI as set out in a conference of participants that was held in London in June 2003
- information on the participants of the initiative
- the status of implementation in a set of countries
- information for implementing parties: the reporting guidelines and accompanying templates.
