The 4th EITI Global Conference | Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative


Start Date: 16 Feb 2009
End Date: 18 Feb 2009
Organiser: Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)
Where: The Ritz-Carlton, Doha, Qatar


The fourth EITI Global Conference will take place in Doha on 16-18 February 2009. As the highest governing body of the EITI, the conference is the premier event in the EITI calendar.

In a world of volatile commodity prices, the EITI is more relevant today than ever before in ensuring that populations benefit from their countries' resources. The Oslo Conference in 2006 provided the EITI with the tools to move from design to implementation. Two years down the line, 23 countries are implementing the initiative while the number of actors supporting the EITI is growing constantly.

The Doha Conference will be an opportunity for all our stakeholders and supporters - governments, civil society organizations, companies, investors and development organisations - to take stock of the benefits and progress of the EITI, find common solutions for challenges, and chart the next steps for advancing this growing global initiative.
