Independent midterm evaluation of the Opening Extractives programme
Request for proposals
Справочная информация
The Opening Extractives (OE) programme is approaching the midpoint of its grant with the BHP Foundation, having worked over two years with multiple stakeholders, including various government agencies, civil society organisations, and private sector actors, from a range of 10 countries, to advance beneficial ownership transparency. Progress has been achieved on beneficial ownership reforms in several of these countries and there are valuable lessons about both what has worked well and what has been challenging under the programme.
The programme is now seeking to commission an independent review designed to:
- Assess the programme’s measures of progress and impact at national and global levels;
- Evaluate effectiveness of the approaches taken in the different regions;
- Surface key factors from successful implementation and lessons learned from challenging contexts to inform the next phase of the programme’s work.

О ИПДО
Мы считаем, что природные ресурсы стран принадлежат их гражданам. Наша миссия — формирование представления об управлении природными ресурсами, укрепление государственного и корпоративного управления и предоставление данных для обеспечения более высокого уровня прозрачности и подотчетности в добывающем секторе. Становясь членами Инициатива Прозрачности в Добывающих Отраслях (ИПДО), страны обязуются раскрывать информацию на всех этапах цепочки создания стоимости в добывающей отрасли — от способов предоставления прав на добычу до путей распределения доходов правительством и возможностей получения общественностью выгод от этих доходов. Посредством участия в ИПДО свыше 50 стран согласились придерживаться Стандарта ИПДО — общего набора правил в отношении того, какую информацию и когда необходимо раскрывать. В каждой присоединившейся к ИПДО стране внедрение Стандарта ИПДО поддерживается многосторонней группой заинтересованных сторон, состоящей из представителей правительства, компаний и гражданского общества.
