Validation is the EITI assurance mechanism that assesses compliance with the EITI Requirements + outcomes of implementation. Implementing countries undergo Validation on a 3-year cycle (more frequent in case of suspended status). Validation procedure: (1) MSG-led self-assessment + Independent Administrator's report; (2) Independent Validator (formerly Validation Service) assessment against all 8 components of EITI Requirements (the 7 Section requirements + the Validation Component on outcomes + impact); (3) preliminary report; (4) MSG response; (5) Validator final report; (6) EITI Board decision. Status categories: 'high' / 'satisfactory' / 'meaningful' / 'inadequate' / 'no progress' on each component + an overall status of 'Fully Compliant' / 'Meaningful Progress' / 'Inadequate Progress' / 'Suspended' / 'Delisted'. The 2023 Standard introduces the 'EITI Outcomes + Impact Assessment' as a dedicated Validation component evaluating Requirement 7.4. Board oversight + governance: the EITI Board (20 members - 6 government + 6 company + 6 civil society + 2 chair + officers) governs the EITI Association + adopts the Standard + reviews country Validation + sets policies. The International Secretariat (Oslo) provides operational support. The Open Government Partnership + UNDP + World Bank + IMF + bilateral partners support EITI implementation.
This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 1 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
