Request for Proposals
Antecedentes
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), with the support from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GiZ), is seeking a competent and credible firm to support the systematic integration of EITI mining data (“mainstreaming”) into government systems in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
This consultancy will play a pivotal role in enhancing transparency and governance in the DRC’s extractive sector by facilitating the interconnection of government systems, developing IT platforms and strengthening capacity for data management and publication. The Consultant must be from a reputable company or group of individual(s) with a proven reputation, perceived by the EITI International Secretariat to be credible, trustworthy, experienced, and technically competent.

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.
