Abstract

This paper seeks to contribute to the debate about EITI’s effectiveness and future. In particular, it assesses EITI’s track record in sub-Saharan Africa, and analyses whether and how the
multi-stakeholder initiative can remain relevant, particularly in this post-Arab Spring era. The relevance of these questions derives from two main findings: 1) that all across Africa, citizens
and civil society groups are becoming more vocal, and are forcing gradual change in the debate on and actual management of their natural resources; but 2) that as the Arab uprisings and
anti-corruption movement show, these changes and debates are, for the most part, taking place outside the EITI platform. These findings emanate from desktop research and field visits undertaken between January 2008 and January 2013.
