Despite good intentions, no country has been formally validated as EITI-compliant. The risk now is that the initiative will allow countries to ride free, using the EITI label to continue business as usual. As a result, Publish What You Pay has called on companies and governments to deliver concrete results.
The good news is that the EITI board is beginning to flex its muscles. If countries do not become validated within two years they risk losing their status. So far Chad, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bolivia have been disqualified.
