Guyana’s fairly low overall score in implementing the requirements of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is being primarily blamed on the government for its failure to enact the legislative changes for the holistic implementation of the recommendations.
The EITI’s Board 2019 validation report was released last month and indicated that Guyana received a 52 points rating which reflects an average of the three-component scores on Stakeholder engagement, Transparency and Outcomes and impact. This report was available to the government in March 2021.
