Seeking Synergy: OGP & EITI
This paper explores how OGP and EITI members can leverage both platforms to make meaningful reforms in the extractives industry, one of the sectors most prone to corruption.
Transparency and accountability in the extractive industry sector is crucial to mitigating the effects of the “resource curse” in countries endowed with natural resources.

More than 50 OGP countries depend on oil, gas and minerals as their most important sources of government and export revenues. However, evidence shows that their performance on human development indicators compares unfavorably to less-endowed countries. At the root of this underperformance is the failure by governments to properly address the institutional and policy challenges that come with the governance of natural resources.
Open government approaches can help detect corruption, safeguard community interests, improve the investment climate, and support environmental sustainability.
Extractive industry commitments are a common area of activity within OGP and they are more frequently impactful and complete than commitments in other policy areas. According to assessments by OGP’s Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM), more than one in four extractives commitments have the potential to transform the status quo – double the rate of other commitments.
In 2018, OGP and the Extractives Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote work across several areas of extractives, including beneficial ownership, state-owned enterprises, contract transparency, gender, and environment.
This paper explores how OGP and EITI members can leverage both platforms to make meaningful reforms in the extractives industry, one of the sectors most prone to corruption.
