Consultancy Opportunity: Opening Extractives Programme in the Philippines
Request for Proposals
Antecedentes
Opening Extractives (OE) is a programme jointly implemented by the Extractives Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) and Open Ownership (OO) (collectively referred to as the “OE Team”) to enhance beneficial ownership transparency in the extractive sector. We are seeking an individual Consultant or a reputable firm based in the Philippines to support the implementation of beneficial ownership transparency commitments in the Philippines. This will entail supporting the OE Team and the national EITI Multi-stakeholder Working Groups (MSG) with the implementation of the OE programme. The objective is to strengthen beneficial ownership (BO) transparency in the Philippines through technical assistance and capacity building to government ministries and other stakeholders, with a focus on BO data verification and the use of BO data in integrity checks of extractive companies applying for, holding or transferring licenses and permits.

Acerca del EITI
Creemos que los recursos naturales de los países pertenecen a sus ciudadanos. Nuestra misión consiste en promover el conocimiento sobre la gestión de los recursos naturales, fortalecer la gobernanza y la rendición de cuentas en los ámbitos público y corporativo, y aportar datos que sirvan de sustento para la creación de políticas y el diálogo multipartícipe en el sector extractivo. Al convertirse en miembros del EITI, los países se comprometen a divulgar información a lo largo de la cadena de valor de las industrias extractivas, desde la forma en que se otorgan los derechos sobre actividades extractivas, hasta el modo en que los ingresos llegan a manos de los gobiernos y cómo benefician a la población. A través de la participación en el EITI, más de 50 países han acordado a respetar un conjunto de normas comunes que determinan qué debe divulgarse y cuándo: en otras palabras, el Estándar EITI. En cada uno de los países que se ha unido al EITI hay un grupo multipartícipe, conformado por el gobierno, empresas y la sociedad civil, que colabora con la implementación del Estándar EITI.
