Following Guyana’s fairly low overall score in implementing the requirements of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), the Norway-based Executive Director Mark Robinson is expected to arrive in Guyana later today for a two-day visit.
The visit stems from Guyana’s first validation exercise conducted by the Board.
The EITI’s Board’s validation report was released in April 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. The exercise was conducted by comparing Guyana’s performance against the 2019 EITI standards.
