CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR A SHORT-TERM CONSULTANT ON VALIDATION   The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is a global standard that promotes transparency and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sectors. Country validation Validation is an essential feature of the EITI implementation process. It is intended to provide stakeholders with an impartial assessment of whether EITI implementation in a country is consistent with the provisions of the EITI Standard or not. Papua New Guinea underwent its first validation in 2018 in which the EITI Board granted ‘meaningful progress’ in implementing the EITI Standard. It is now high time for PNG’s second country validation which is set to begin on 1st April 2022. Provision of Consultancy services on validation The PNGEITI calls for expressions of interest from competent firms or consultant (s) to compile documentation in preparation for Papua New Guinea’s second country validation.
