The extractive industries, such as oil, gas, and mining, have a tremendous potential to gener-
ate substantial economic growth and wealth and alle-viate poverty in resource-rich developing countries. Many developing countries are well endowed with fossil fuel and nonfuel minerals. Fuel minerals contrib-ute more than 90 percent of exports for major oil and gas producers such as Algeria, Angola, Iraq, Kuwait, and Nigeria. Nonfuel minerals contribute over 50 per-cent of exports for major mining countries such as Chile, Guinea, Mongolia, Peru, and Zambia.
Yet more often than not the developing resource-rich countries fail to make a successful transformation to equitable prosperity and sustainable economic growth. Lack of transparency, weak governance and government institutions, ineffective sector and macro economic policies, and inadequate legal frame-works, as well as lack of empowered civil society, are frequent causes. Over the coming years, the exist-ing challenges will be exacerbated by the growing demand for mineral commodities. The transition to a low-carbon economy will boost the need for base metals, such as iron and copper, as well as for minor metals, including lithium and cobalt. Another, proba-bly even more influential, demand factor is the grow-ing middle class in large economies such as China and India. These developments will create opportunities but also increase challenges for producing countries. Responding to existing and new challenges to harness the industry benefits for sustainable development requires ongoing reforms from resource-rich devel-oping countries.
The World Bank Group (WBG) is active in the extractive industries in about 70 countries and is the largest pro-vider of extractives-related development assistance by a significant margin. Its engagement in the extractives sector supports well-designed responsible mineral sector development by providing financial support, capacity-building support, and advice to resource-rich country governments. Through the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Multi lateral Invest-ment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the WBG helps fund and facilitate responsible private sector mineral investment. The prevailing instrument of engage-ment for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Develop-ment Agency of the WBG engagement is lending operations supplemented by advisory services. In addition, the WBG Energy and Extractives Global Practice (Extractives Team—GEEXI) annually pro-duces approximately 50 knowledge products, which range from new research on extractives topics to com-munities of practice and just-in-time client support on a wide variety of sectoral issues.
The World Bank’s GEEXI overall extractives sector portfolio is growing with US$671 million of active International Development Association (IDA) funding as of the end of fiscal 2018, approximately US$19 mil-lion in active recipient-executed (RE) trust funds. With the Extractives Global Programmatic Support (EGPS) Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), which supplements core financing instruments, the WBG addresses spe-cific extractives governance-related issues along the entire value chain in less time and with high efficiency

through targeted advisory and capacity building assis-tance to the countries as well as knowledge products creation and dissemination.
The development objective of the EGPS is to improve the ability and capacity of current and emerging resource-rich developing nations to use their oil, gas, and mineral resources transparently and sustainably for poverty alleviation, shared prosperity, economic diversification, and sustainable economic growth.
The EGPS program follows on from and combines two earlier MDTFs—the Extractive Industries Trans-parency Initiative (EITI) and the Extractive Indus-tries Technical Advisory Facility (EI-TAF), which the World Bank administered until 2015. For this reason, a substantial portion of EGPS funds continue support that was started under one of these two ear-lier MDTFs.
The EGPS selects, funds, and monitors both country- specific and global extractives sector-related activ-ities that are implemented by a World Bank team (Bank-executed; BE) or a client country that has received an EGPS grant under World Bank supervision (recipient-executed; RE). These activities fall under one or more of the four themes, also referred to as EGPS Pillars, namely:
●● Pillar 1: Supporting implementation of the EITI and broader reforms on sector transparency and good governance;
●● Pillar 2: Building capacity and supporting governments in developing sound legal, regulatory, contractual, and fiscal frame-works; contract negotiation; and fiscal management for the extractives sector;
●● Pillar 3: Supporting economic diversification of resource-rich countries through local links with extractives sector; and
●● Pillar 4: Strengthening institutions and policies conducive to socioeconomic growth through extractive industries.
An additional Pillar 5 provides funding for World Bank costs of project management (operational support) under the first four pillars, including World Bank costs to supervise RE grants.
The EGPS thematic structure supports the overall goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. It actively assists client countries in devel-oping effective legal and regulatory frameworks and works with governments to improve fiscal regimes, remove subsidies, and provide revenue transparency and efficient management. It facilitates the incorpo-ration of environmental and climate-change–related priorities into extractive industries policies and regu-latory arrangements.
For effective development outcomes, local commu-nities and other sectors of the economy must benefit from extractive industries operations through leverag-ing the industry’s infrastructure, job creation, and busi-ness opportunities along the extractives value chain to provide long-term sustainable and equitable economic growth. EGPS contributes substantially to knowledge sharing on local development and economic diversi-fication to maximize benefits from extractives, build resilience to economic shocks, and reduce the risk of exposure to resource curse.
Transparency and accountability, including adher-ence to the EITI Standard, are key elements for an extractives sector to contribute to a sustainable and equitable economic growth. EGPS supports the imple-mentation of the EITI through technical assistance to countries working to publish and verify company payments and government revenues from oil, gas, and minerals.

society organizations to advocate for accountability and lessen adverse impacts on communities and the most vulnerable people, particularly in fragile areas.
The EGPS continues to leverage technical cooperation with other World Bank global practices, including environment and natural resources on climate change and environmental management, governance on civil service and civil society issues, macro and fiscal man-agement on domestic resource mobilization, and trade and competitiveness on local content and economic diversification. The recent Mid Term Review (MTR) attested to EGPS’ efficiency and relevance in its role.
Globally, EITI has gained enormous momentum with new countries joining the initiative. At the same time, the EITI Standard has gone far beyond the initial scope of revenue disclosures. Today there is an increasing understanding that sustainability and the impact of the EITI Standard will be substantially strengthened if transparency is embedded in broader sector reforms via mainstreaming and the Standard’s implementation is incorporated into the sector’s institutional structures and standardized processes. EGPS is well placed to support the integration of a transparency agenda in a broader sector reform, which is the World Bank’s core business. In parallel, EGPS actively strengthens capacities of civil

RISKS AND CHALLENGES
Growing Funding Needs
The decline in donor contributions in both fiscal years 2018 and 2019, which is discussed in detail later, presented the EGPS Program Secretariat with the difficult task this year of allocating available resources and optimizing the project pipeline among four pillars and between ongoing and new projects. Implementation of some of the projects selected in Rounds 5 and 6 had to be delayed, and a number of projects had to be put on a waiting list. Furthermore, past levels of funding are not sufficient to further progress and achieve sustainable meaningful results under all four pillars.
Pillars 2 and 4 are the backbone of the extractives sector’s successful development and have always been in high demand by resource-rich countries. The World Bank, because of its abundant expertise and experience, is well positioned to assist its clients to build government capacity and strengthen institu-tions and policies along the extractives value chain. Under investing in these important pillars delays highly needed sector reform engagements and thus limits EGPS’ potential impact.
Pillar 3, which focuses on fostering local econo- mic diversification—a crucial but less-researched theme in policy design of resource-rich develop-ing countries—has also a potential for growth in the EGPS portfolio but has been too constrained by limited financing.
Finally, a substantial strategic and financial chal-lenge has emerged with the evolution of the EITI Standard—a main program component sup-ported under Pillar 1—and its resulting growing funding needs.
Over the first three years of EGPS implementation, the allocations (excluding program management and administration costs) to all EITI projects amounted to US$16.3 million or 54 percent of the total. Of this amount, US$12.9 million has been allocated to EITI recipient-executed (RE) activities in 20 countries through 29 grants that average two years in duration. This roughly amounts to US$225,000 per year per country.
The introduction of the EITI Standard in 2013 (updated in 2016) resulted in a significant expan-sion of EITI requirements and activities. EITI in its new form is a “global standard for the good gover-nance of oil, gas and mineral resources” with eight key requirements regarding (i) multistakeholder groups; (ii) legal/institutional framework, including beneficial ownership; (iii) exploration and production; (iv) rev-enue collection; (v) revenue allocation; (vi) social and economic spending; (vii) outcomes and impact; and (viii) compliance and deadlines for implementing countries. EITI country implementation activities have expanded to include not only beneficial owner-ship transparency and contract transparency but also artisanal and small-scale mining transparency and

commodity-trading transparency.1 Some countries added other resource sectors to their EITI implemen-tation programs.
Addressing sectorwide extractives development and governance issues rather than just collecting, reconcil-ing, and publishing payments data has increased the EITI implementation costs for countries by an order of magnitude or more. The EITI International Secretariat has reported a large budget deficit for EITI activities of over US$10 million in 2017,2 which is likely to increase in the future. According to the EITI International Sec-retariat, the numbers are only estimates, and the gap could be in the range of US$10–30 million per year.
Such a large funding gap puts future EITI country implementation at serious risk while highlighting an insufficiency of current EGPS funds to adequately sup-port all four pillars and maintain an often-beneficial continuity in support and the difficulty in identifying priority high-impact projects within such tight finan-cial constraints.
EGPS Extension
The strategic issue of the EGPS extension will be raised as part of the Mid Term Review in fiscal 2019 and sub-sequently discussed with donors at the October 2018 Steering Committee meeting.
1 According to the June 2018 EITI Board Paper 40-2-A Implementation Progress Report.2 According to data in the February 2018 EITI Board Paper, overall EITI annual global costs were estimated at about US$55 million by the Inter-national Secretariat, including US$34.8 million for country implemen-tation activities in the 51 countries implementing EITI. Partners (that is, donors primarily through EGPS) provided about 19 percent of EITI country implementation activities (Table 1 in 2017, whereas 33 percent were unfunded.
The original EGPS concept document (May 2015) included an estimate of required funding of approxi-mately US$100 million over five years or US$20 mil-lion per year. As shown in Table 1, from the launch of EGPS at the end of fiscal 2015 until the end of the fiscal 2018, donor contributions to EGPS totaled US$33 million from 10 donors plus US$0.3 million as a net investment income, or an average of US$11 million per year—half of the original estimate. In fiscal 2019, the EGPS expects to receive US$4.7 million in pend-ing donor contributions. The current financial risk of the EGPS being underfunded to meet its strategic
objective and adequately finance all four pillars, including EITI, is considered high.
The shift of the EITI toward more cost-intensive require-ments and country programs adds to the strategic and financial risk for EITI and also for the EGPS.
EGPS disbursements and commitments (including program management and administration costs of about US$3 million) totaled US$33.2 million for fiscal years 2016 to 2018, as shown in Table 2, averag-ing just over US$11 million per year. Disbursements and commitments declined in fiscal 2018 because of limited available funding and would have been higher if funding had been available.
Therefore, current funding commitments will not allow for continued engagement at the current level. Based on the data for fiscal years 2016 to 2018 in Table 2, the minimum annual average requirement for EGPS to maintain its engagement is US$11 mil-lion. Response to the growing funding needs for EITI implementation will exacerbate this amount and lead to a growing funding gap.

This risk remains low and was not triggered in the first two years of EGPS implementation. The EGPS will support activities that aim to address the environ-mental and social impacts of the extractive industries. There is a risk of conflict between upstream advice on
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RISKSsafeguards and downstream financing of projects, but the team has focused on projects that do not trigger safeguards to minimize this risk. Typically, projects that trigger safeguards require significant additional finan-cial resources that are not available through the EGPS.

This risk remains low and was not triggered in the first two years of EGPS implementation. Given the often-times controversial perception of the extractives sector and the potential for corruption and environmental and social impacts, the program has a risk of associating the

Chapter 2
EGPS PORTFOLIO AND IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
Since its inception in 2015, the EGPS has conducted six project selection rounds, with a total of 64 proj-ects3 approved by the EGPS Steering Committee. As of June 30, 2018, because of the cancellation of three projects (Domestic Resource Mobilization, LAC Regional Petroleum Knowledge, and Kyrgyz EITI), the net number of EGPS projects is 61, with total allo-cation of slightly over US$30 million, or an average of US$487,000 per project.4
Of these 61 activities, 43 are country-specific projects in 31 countries, amounting to 69 percent of funding, and 18 are global or regional projects, amounting to 31 percent of funding (Figure 1). Forty-three country-specific activities taking place in 31 countries highlights that once an initial project is successfully ini-tiated, the engagement often leads to identification of other areas of effective assistance, with projects often complementing each other. One common example is the link between EITI activities and a more-targeted assistance of improving or designing extractives sector legal and regulatory frameworks. Such exam-ples have occurred in Albania, Armenia, Colombia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Nigeria, Senegal, Suriname, Tanzania, and Ukraine.
Another important trend is that over the three-year period, 22 projects covering both country-specific and regional/global categories have received EGPS financ-ing in two or more tranches, and this trend is likely to continue. In fiscal 2018, eight of 21 projects that received EGPS financing were ongoing projects that requested additional financing, and three new activi-ties funded continuation of previous EGPS-financed projects. Although each tranche must be approved sep-arately as part of a selection round or as a postreview top-up, such multiphase approach provides the con-tinuity of financial support often needed by the proj-ects while increasing the likelihood that the additional financing will be implemented successfully.
In terms of thematic breakdown, Pillar 1 consistently received the largest share of funding, amounting to 56 percent over three years, followed by Pillar 2 (26 percent), as illustrated in Figure 2.
A dominant share of the funding (70 percent) is allo-cated to recipient-executed (RE) projects (Figure 3) (that is, projects that are executed by governments or other public agencies of the grant-recipient countries and fund country-specific activities), with the excep-tion of the global civil society organization (CSO) support and data and validation projects. Funding of Bank-executed (BE) projects is divided between World Bank technical assistance projects to coun-tries (11 percent), such as Egypt Petroleum Sector Diagnostics, Colombia Mining Law, or Côte d’Ivoire

There are also two projects—Tanzania EITI and Indo-nesia CSO—on standby.
However, the number of projects completed should not be interpreted as the single indicator of EGPS perfor-mance. As noted, to achieve a substantial and lasting impact, many projects get extended and are financed in several tranches if the initial phase is successful.
For RE projects, the average processing time from an official request of the recipient government to project effectiveness is slightly over eight months, which is in line with the involved procedures.

In terms of geographical distribution, which is detailed in Figure 4, most funding has gone to the Africa region (AFR), global/regional activities, and East Asia and Pacific (EAP).

In fiscal 2018, two project selection rounds were con-ducted (Round 5 in October 2017 and Round 6 in June 2018) and 21 activities selected, nine of which were additional financing for existing projects. The total allocation was US$7.5 million. In addition, three projects received postreview top-ups totaling US$0.18 million. For Round 5, 11 activities selected for
US$4.38 million exceeded the funds available at the time by US$3.2 million. As a result, the EGPS Program Secretariat allocated funds as they became available, resulting in slightly delayed project implementation.

the EGPS project pipeline in fiscal 2018, with 10 new grants falling under this category and totaling US$3.39 million or 45 percent of the total fiscal 2018 allocation. Of these 10 grants to EITI implementing countries, five were for additional financing for the ongoing EGPS projects in Dominican Republic, Iraq, Nigeria, Senegal, and Zambia, and five were for new EGPS projects in Armenia, Chad, Colombia, Ecuador, and Papua New Guinea.
Pillar 1 (EITI) Projects
Since the inception of EGPS, the Steering Committee has approved financing for 29 EITI (Pillar 1) projects for a total amount of US$17.6 million5. The aver-age project allocation per round amounts to US$607 thousand.
Of the total amount, US$3.6 million (approximately 21 percent) was allocated for global activities, with the balance of US$14 million (79 percent) allocated to country-specific activities (Figure 5). The Africa region received the largest number of projects and amount of financial assistance. The regional distribution
(excluding global activities) is presented here in more detail:
●● Africa: 10 countries, US$5.24 million, 37 percent●● East Asia and Pacific: three countries,
US$3.24 million, 23 percent●● Europe and Central Asia: four countries,

0.6 percent
Trade-offs must be made in sharing funds among EITI implementing countries, new candidate countries, or those preparing to apply for EITI candidacy. As of fiscal 2018 the EGPS allocated US$11.285 million or 79 percent of its overall country support to 19 EITI implementing countries (including Iraq, a program that has been suspended temporarily because of inad-equate progress after validation in 2017). The Kyrgyz Republic EITI and cadastre was dropped because of difficulties in providing the requested assistance under applicable World Bank rules, and Azerbaijan withdrew from the EITI after partially completing the 5 The allocations include supervision component.

EGPS-funded activity in fiscal 2017. The financing to six EITI candidates and Ecuador (which is planning to apply for EITI candidacy) amounts to US$2.91 mil-lion. In this respect, it is important to note that the EGPS grant was instrumental in assisting Armenia in achieving candidate status and in supporting Ethiopia in its preparation to the currently ongoing validation.
As the countries go through assessment of their prog-ress with the EITI Standard 2016 requirements and many of them face corrective measures, the demand for support is increasing.
At the end of fiscal 2018, 16 of 18 EGPS-financed EITI members have been assessed against the EITI Standard 2016 with the following results:
●● Four have achieved satisfactory progress;●● Ten have achieved meaningful progress;●● One—Iraq—was suspended for inadequate
progress; and●● Chad will start validation in 2018.
The distribution of EGPS funds for EITI among global activities, EITI member and EITI candidate countries is shown in Figure 6.
In fiscal 2018, in eight of 16 EITI country activities under implementation the EGPS financed EITI reports and related EITI information dissemination activ-ities. Most of the grants also support capacity build-ing and training of national EITI multistakeholder groups (MSGs), National EITI Secretariats, CSOs, and other stakeholders. Whereas most projects receive grants and target capacity development at the central/ federal level, many of them include capacity building and knowledge dissemination activities in regions/provinces and local communities where extractives production takes place. The EITI project in Peru oper-ates exclusively at the regional and local levels, where capacity lags behind that of the national level.
So far, 23 grant recipients have developed their benefi-cial ownership roadmaps with EGPS support, 14 have developed an open data policy, and three—Mongolia, Nigeria, and Senegal—have conducted mainstreaming studies.
EITI activities are often embedded in a more system-atic and wider effort to improve extractives sector management and incorporate EITI elements into its legal and/or contractual framework. Therefore, there is a strong link between Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 types of

Albania Support to EITI Compliance (P158380)
Pillars 1 & 2 RE, Rounds 1 & 3
US$450,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision) & US$440,000 + US$200,000 (incl. US$40,000 supervision top-up)
Under Implementation; Effective May 19, 2016; Closing December 31, 2018
Albania joined EITI in 2009 and has demonstrated a consistently strong EITI track record. It has successfully
undergone two validations: it was declared compliant in 2013 under the EITI rules, and was assessed to have made meaningful progress in 2017 under the EITI Standard 2016. The country has produced seven EITI reports covering the eight-year period 2009 to 2016; the latest report was issued in July 2018. The level of cash flow reconciliation for the last two reports remained constant at 98 percent. Albania has successfully kept EITI high on the media radar, providing meaningful information to the public. Albania’s EITI Club of Jour-nalists, formed by the Albania National EITI Secretar-iat, was hailed by the EITI International Secretariat as a unique innovation in EITI implementation. In Decem-ber 2017, the Albania EITI Secretariat held two press conferences to discuss EITI progress and national pri-orities for 2018. The country also produced a beneficial ownership roadmap.
Recognizing the country’s commitment to EITI and notable results at the time and in an effort to con-tinue the support provided to Albania under the EITI MDTF, the EGPS supported Albania’s EITI implementation by allocating US$450,000 for Pillar 1 and US$640,000 for Pillars 1 and 2 under Rounds 1 and 3, respectively. The government of Albania has been cofinancing EITI implementation for about US$400,000 per year and will continue to provide parallel cofinancing to cover most of the operational and staff cost.
With the first tranche of EGPS funding, Albania achieved the following results:
●● EITI reports covering fiscal 2015 and 2016 were published in 2017 and 2018, respectively. In addition to oil, gas, and mining data with a reconciliation rate of 98 percent, the report contains hydroenergy data, including disclo-sure of targeted investments in distribution and transmission lines.
●● Based on EITI Albania’s advocacy efforts, a new law—Transparent Disclosure of Renewable
EGPS PORTFOL IO AND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS
15
Energy Resources No. 7/2017—was approved in June 2017. Article 6/3 requires that subjects that generate power from renewable resources are obliged to report annually all data on annual production and payment of financial obligations, as well as other information con-tained in the official instruction of the Minister of Energy.
●● In December 2016, a review of the national legislative and regulatory framework in implementing the EITI Standard was con-ducted. The review assessed the compliance of the Albanian legal framework with the EITI Standard and proposed solutions to sustainably improve EITI implemen-tation along with beneficial ownership requirements.6
●● Albania fulfilled the requirement to publish its beneficial ownership roadmap by end of 2016. EGPS-funded training sessions on beneficial ownership took place, and a pilot reporting exercise was conducted across all extractive industries operators participating in the EITI report.
●● Finally, training was provided to the MSG and key stakeholders (journalists, parliamentari-ans, government agencies) on natural resource governance and investment arbitration by Columbia University; 70 percent of the partic-ipants were women.
●● On June 30, 2018, a stakeholder workshop on raw materials transactions by state-owned companies and commodity trading was conducted.
During EGPS Round 3, following an official request from the government of Albania for a top-up of financ-ing and an extension of the closing date, a second grant
of US$600,000 was allocated to the project. The project was thus successfully restructured in August 2017 and currently has a closing date of December 31, 2018.
Armenia EITI Support (P166274)
Pillar 1 RE, Round 5
US$400,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision)
Under Implementation; Effective March 22, 2018; Closing December 31, 2019
Armenia is a recent EITI implementing country, having joined in 2017, and has so far demonstrated strong potential for achieving EITI goals because of its proactive government, deeply engaged civil society, and high level of data digitalization within the govern-ment and companies. The country is currently produc-ing its first EITI report.
This is the second EITI-related EGPS funding for Armenia. The first Bank-executed (BE) activity, in the amount of US$50,000, was successfully completed in fiscal 2017 and provided capacity support for achiev-ing EITI candidacy.7
The EGPS is also financing the Armenia Mineral Sector Policy activity (P163060), which is discussed later in this report under Pillars 2 and 4.
The Pillar 1 grant is financing:
●● Publication of the first EITI report and capacity building for the MSG and staff of the national EITI Secretariat;
●● Awareness-raising activities to involve larger groups of the population in the
6 The study was cofinanced by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.

monitoring and decision-making processes, with a strong focus on the engagement of women;
●● Creation of an EITI website with open data tools accessible to the public;
●● A scoping study for mainstreaming EITI with the focus on leveraging existing government and company data reporting systems and developing a work plan.
As of the end of fiscal 2018, the selection of an inde-pendent administrator who will produce the first EITI report is under way. Because the process toward proj-ect effectiveness took a bit longer than anticipated, the selection of the EITI independent administrator was delayed by two months, so the Armenia EITI National Secretariat requested an extension of the due date for the first report.8
In addition, the EGPS grant financed the work of the National Secretariat to develop amendments to the Mining Code and other related laws and reg-ulations aimed at enforcing compliance with the requirement to share data needed for EITI reporting. These amendments were shared with the Armenian government.
It is possible that in fiscal 2019 the project will expe-rience delays because of political changes in the coun-try. In April 2018, a revolution took place in Armenia, and a new government was formed. The previously appointed EITI champion is no longer in the gov-ernment, and it is crucial that the new government appoint a new EITI champion as soon as possible. It is also expected that some deputy ministers who were appointed as MSG members under the previous gov-ernment will be changed. It is not yet clear when new
parliamentary elections will take place, but they may result in yet another government change and possibly additional project delays.
EITI International: Assistance to the Implementing Country Working Group (P161739)
Pillar 1 BE, Round 3
US$98,000
Completed February 2018
The EITI Governance Review identified the need for greater coordination among the EITI Implementing Countries Constituency, which was a loosely con-nected network of officials representing EITI member countries. Echoing this decision, during a meeting of EITI implementing countries in Berne in October 2015 in the margins of the 30th EITI Board meeting, the National Coordinators volunteered to create an ad hoc working group to improve communication and coordination within the Implementing Countries Con-stituency (Implementing Countries Working Group, ICWG), and to ensure their effective contribution at the EITI Board.
In February 2016, the EITI National Coordinators endorsed in principle the Guidelines for Internal Coor-dination and Information-Sharing generated through a broadly consultative process led by the ICWG to improve the functioning of the implementing country constituency. The Guidelines delineate expectations and procedures for strengthening peer exchange and positioning of the implementing countries constitu-ency at the EITI Board. It also describes the responsi-bilities of its members and resource requirements for establishing and maintaining an enhanced coordina-tion system. The ICWG was tasked with operational-izing the Guidelines and requested financial assistance from the EGPS to support effective information sharing for the 2016–17 period.
8 The contract with the independent administrator was signed on July 13, 2018.
EGPS PORTFOL IO AND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS

The deliverables were focused on the development of a mechanism and tools to implement the Guidelines aiming to:
●● Streamline the operationalization of the Guidelines through common processes, tools, and templates;
●● Maximize the efficacy of available facilitation and process management support from the EITI International Secretariat and outside service providers (as appropriate); and
●● Engage in a joint exploration of potential funding for staff and other costs of the coordination system.
The Report on Systems, Capacity-building and Con-sultation Facilitation for the Implementing Country Sub-Constituency of EITI details the activities under-taken and the corresponding results and recommen-dations. In brief, the outputs of this activity consist of:
●● Terms of reference for the ICWG, whose func-tions were subsequently subsumed by Board members and alternates directly.
●● A dedicated implementing country portal that enables peer exchange and collaboration, such as joint exploration of critical issues, sharing of good practice, and strengthening their collective voice at EITI Board proceedings.
●● A 15-hour multimedia curriculum and materials for online training on facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue and decision making tailored to the EITI context.
●● A lessons-learned document that assesses the pilot training for Region 6 of the EITI Imple-menting Countries Constituency (Europe and the Americas), with recommendations for refinements based on the results and feed-back of participants. The training focuses on improving communication, conflict resolu-tion, and consensus building skills.
●● Synthesis papers on the findings of two con-sultations among implementing countries that
focused on MSG governance at the national level and EITI constituency governance at the international level.
●● Socialization of the Guidelines and facilitation of a dialogue on MSG governance during three regional workshops organized jointly by the World Bank and the EITI International Secretariat.
This activity was well received and established the ini-tial mechanisms required for implementation of the Guidelines. Moving forward, sustained maintenance and use of these mechanisms will be required for con-tinued implementation of the Guidelines, which in turn will help implementing countries to be able to provide greater technical feedback to the EITI Board and enable them to better influence the direction of the EITI devel-opment. The recommendations on next steps are sum-marized in the deliverable document Report on Systems, Capacity-building and Consultation Facilitation for the Implementing Country Sub-Constituency of EITI.
Ethiopia EITI Grant 2 (P159798) Pillar 1 RE, Round 2 & PR
US$470,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision) + (incl. US$45,000 supervision top-up)
Under Implementation; Effective December 13, 2016; Closing June 30, 2019
Ethiopia joined EITI in 2014, and validation under the EITI Standard 2016 took place in May 2018. Ethiopia published three EITI reports: in February 2016, January 2018, and April 2018 covering fiscal years 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16. In addition, Ethiopia has developed and published its open data policy and beneficial ownership roadmap.
The last two EITI reports were financed by the EGPS grant. Beyond preparation of the reports, the EGPS
ANNUAL TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS REPORT
18
grant also funded training and capacity building for key stakeholders, including MSG and the Secretariat, and awareness raising through publication and dis-semination of the reports.
However, important challenges remain:
●● Procurement capacity challenges in the Ethiopia EITI Secretariat have affected the disbursement ratios of the grant. The project team has provided support to procurement through the hiring of a consultant, but the Ethiopia EITI Secretariat will need to hire a full-time procurement staff;
●● The project team also supported hiring of a communications consultant to develop a detailed communications action plan in accordance with global good practices on EITI communication. However, to implement the plan, the Ethiopia EITI Secretariat will need to find funds to hire a full-time communications officer.
●● The CSO Proclamation of Ethiopia remains an impediment to effective engagement of CSOs in the EITI process (and will be reflected in the EITI validation). Efforts for obtaining exemptions for the EITI CSOs to receive foreign funding while participating in advo-cacy on Ethiopia EITI have not yet been made, despite a previous commitment in this regard. Furthermore, the declaration of emergency by the government had led to a review of govern-ment websites, and the Ethiopia EITI website now is operational only sporadically.
●● Addressing the gaps and recommendations identified in all three Ethiopia EITI reports, as communicated to the Ethiopia EITI Secretariat through a summary brief, will require further funding. The project team has recommended that the brief be used as a tool to mobilize donor funding around specific implementation aspects of Ethiopia EITI.
Iraq EITI Implementation Support (P160274)
Pillars 1 & 2 RE, Round 2, Postreview Round 5
US$530,000 (incl.US$50,000 supervision & US$80,000 supervision) & US$500,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision)
Under Implementation; Effective February 21, 2017; Closing June 28, 2019
Iraq has been an EITI member since 2010 and was declared compliant under the EITI Rules in 2012. As a result of its assessment against the EITI Standard 2016 in 2017, Iraq was suspended because of inadequate progress, and the new validation is scheduled for April 2019. Continued donor support is essential to assist Iraq in addressing the issues that led to suspension. The Iraqi EITI has produced and published seven EITI reports. The last report covering 2015 data was pub-lished in November 2016. The eighth and ninth reports, with 2016 and 2017 data including production, publica-tion, and dissemination, are financed out of the EGPS grant and are still in the production phase. In January 2017, Iraq published its beneficial ownership roadmap.
The current grant totaling US$1,030,000 after the addi-tional financing of US$550,000 provided at the request of the Iraqi government as part of EGPS Round 5 allo-cations continues to support a number of crucial activ-ities, including:
●● Preparation and dissemination of the eighth and ninth Iraq EITI reports, including stake-holder workshops and consultations;
●● Improving the institutional capacity of the Iraq EITI Secretariat and MSG through fund-ing of its operational costs and training;
●● Improving the capacity to communicate on issues associated with transparency and accountability in the extractive industries, including upgrading of the Iraq EITI website, which has been completed; and

●● Support for mainstreaming of Iraq EITI into government and company systems through financing of a feasibility study for mainstream-ing Iraq EITI.
The Iraq EITI has played a crucial role as a dialogue platform for government, industry, and civil society.
Mongolia Improved Governance of Extractives Project (P158649)
Pillar 1 RE, Round 1
US$550,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision + US$50,000 supervision top-up)
Under Implementation; Effective June 6, 2016; Closing December 31, 2018
Mongolia has been an EITI implementing country since 2007 and is one of five countries that achieved satisfactory progress with the EITI Standard in 2018. Mongolia has produced 11 EITI reports covering the period 2006 to 2016, with the latest report prepared and disclosed in December 2017 and the new report with 2017 data in preparation. The country has devel-oped an open data policy, produced a three-year ben-eficial ownership roadmap (2017–20), and made the first steps toward mainstreaming.
World Bank-administered trust funds, including the previous EITI MDTF, have been providing support to EITI implementation in Mongolia since 2009. The EGPS Mongolia Improved Governance of Extractives Project (MIGEP) grant primarily funds operating costs of the Mongolia EITI Secretariat, which is staffed by four people.
Mongolia first became compliant with the EITI Rules in 2010. In January 2017, the EITI Board determined that Mongolia had made meaningful progress with the EITI Standard and would have until January 2018 to take eight corrective actions and reflect these in the next EITI report covering 2016 data due December 2017. In
February 2018, after a validation review, the EITI Board determined that Mongolia had satisfactorily taken all corrective actions and achieved satisfactory progress.
Among the agenda items of Mongolia EITI is the main-streaming of reporting into government and com-pany systems. A first step of moving from manual to e-reporting has been accomplished, with the assistance of funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Historical data, cleaned and conformed with support of Natural Resource Governance Institute, has been uploaded to the data-base. The second and more fundamental shift will be to adopt reporting routines and platforms that form part of routine government and company reporting. This is likely to be accomplished over a period of years as relevant rules and systems of data recording, quality assurance, and disclosure are developed.
In December 2016, the National EITI Council commit-ted to a roadmap for disclosure of beneficial owner-ship of oil, gas, and mineral projects in Mongolia, as required by the EITI Standard. EBRD has been help-ing to finance implementation of the beneficial owner-ship roadmap, and the Mongolia EITI Secretariat will engage a lawyer to facilitate the process.
Mining Sector Diagnostic (P160992)9
Pillars 1 & 2 BE, Round 3
US$1,000,000

The Mining Sector Diagnostic (MSD) provides evidence- based information to governments on their governance of the extractives sector. It sheds light on strengths and
9 Former Mining Investment and Governance Review (MinGov) proj-ect. For more information on Phase 1 of the MinGov, see the fiscal 2017 EGPS Annual Report.
ANNUAL TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS REPORT
20
weaknesses of sector management along the value chain and assesses legal frameworks (de jure situa-tion) as well as their enforcement and implementation (de facto). The MSD has become an established tool in supporting governments for a more efficient and targeted approach in sector reforms to improve social and environmental sustainability as well as economic viability and attractiveness for foreign investment.
After a formal comprehensive review of the Phase 1 results of the Mining Investment and Governance Review (MinGov), the project was retitled the “Min-ing Sector Diagnostic.” The new tittle reflects improve-ment changes that have been made to the project focus, scope, methodology, and business model.
MinGov was launched in 2013 with the objective to “develop and maintain an analytical tool that can be used to strengthen the mining sector’s governance, investment environment and development impact.” Phase 1 of the project focused on the development of methodology, which was then rolled out in eight pri-marily African countries. Phase 2 started in the fourth quarter of 2016 with a revision of the MinGov meth-odology that was conducted in close cooperation with the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF), followed by the midterm review in July/August 2017. These exer-cises not only led to the improved methodology but also informed the decision that the emphasis should be on the whole sector’s comprehensive and system-atic assessment rather than specifically its governance aspect. Although some of the cross-cutting themes that lacked mining specificity were dropped from the analy-sis, a mining sector management theme was added in a response to the common critique that the original analysis did not cover the real issues on the ground that are related to the management of the mining sector and intergovernmental coordination. Some themes were expanded, with the addition of such elements as mine closure, occupational health and safety, gender, and climate change. To improve the quality of collected
data, substantial changes and refinements were made to the questionnaire.
A substantial effort was also made to review simi-lar initiatives with the objective of reducing overlap, ensuring the complementarity of the MSD and using potential synergies. Specifically, a dialogue with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Rule of Law in Public Administration (ROLPA) on cooperation was initiated that is expected to result in a country case for joint implementation. It was con-cluded that MSD can serve as an entry point for deeper analysis of the ROLPA issues as well as data collection and analysis process.
Over fiscal 2018 three diagnostic assessments under the new methodology have been conducted, based on demand from the governments of Colombia, Indone-sia, and Papua New Guinea. The studies are ongoing in Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, the Phil-ippines, and Serbia, and the project’s pipeline includes Argentina, Armenia, Cambodia, and Liberia. The cov-erage reflects such changes as moving beyond Africa and low-income countries, responding to subnational demand, and prioritizing jurisdictions with clearly expressed demand for the diagnostic.

Nigeria has been an EITI member since 2004 and was assessed in 2016 as having made meaningful progress against the EITI Standard. Nigeria has so far produced
EGPS PORTFOL IO AND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS
21
oil and gas reports covering a total of 18 years and a number of mining reports, with the latest reports cov-ering the year 2015. The country has developed a ben-eficial ownership roadmap and an open data policy. It has also conducted a study to explore the potential of mainstreamed disclosures. Nigeria will undergo a second validation in 2018.
All three rounds of EGPS financing have been used to fund production of the reports because a fiscal crisis in Nigeria in 2016 seriously affected the government’s ability to self-finance. The first grant of US$320,000, which was approved during EGPS Round 1 and became effective in December 2016, was fully disbursed to reimburse the independent administrator for the 2014 petroleum and mining reports and allowed NEITI to publish the reports by the deadline of December 2016. Missing the deadline would have resulted in the coun-try’s suspension from EITI.
The second grant for US$270,000 was approved during Round 4 in March 2017 and was used to pay for the 2015 oil and gas report and get an early start on the 2016 oil and gas report because timeliness has been a factor in reducing the value of NEITI reports.
The third grant for US$310,000 was approved during Round 5 and became effective in May 2018. This grant will finance:
●● A study of the petroleum sector regulatory framework and relevance to EITI for posting on NEITI’s website;
●● A review of the history of the oil blocks (own-ership, contested issues, future potential— this information is available from an industry source) and relevance to EITI for posting on NEITI’s website; and
●● A portion of NEITI’s plan to automate (i) collection of data from the covered entities in the oil and gas sector and (ii) preliminary data analysis.
Papua New Guinea: CSO Support (P154204)
Pillar 1 BE, Round 1
US$139,000
Completed February 2018
Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been an EITI imple-menting country since 2013 and will undergo an assessment against the EITI Standard in 2018. From the start PNG CSOs were keen to engage in the EITI process, but most required substantial strengthening of their technical, financial, and legal knowledge in the extractive industries as well as coordination and a vision on how to make a meaningful contribution.
Launched in 2015 and originally funded by the EITI MDTF, the development objective of this activity was to strengthen the role, engagement, and impact of CSOs in the EITI process, as well as coordination of the CSO constituency in the MSG. Progress toward this objective was made through training, mentoring, development of analytical tools and training materials, and development of key strategic documents for the national and global coalition of CSOs.
The project helped to establish a dedicated CSO coor-dinator position, funded CSO capacity building and technical training to improve effectiveness of CSO engagement in the PNG EITI process, and funded capac-ity-building workshops for CSOs engaged in the PNG Resource Governance Coalition (RGC) at the national and subnational levels. The EGPS provided funding since January 2016 for the coordinator’s position and all these activities, including the workshops and their outputs.
The capacity-building workshops in late 2017 pro-vided an opportunity for government and civil soci-ety leaders to familiarize themselves with the basics of the mining sector. It also enabled PNG RGC and the PNG EITI National Secretariat to network and establish provincial and subnational focal points for
ANNUAL TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS REPORT
22
EITI engagement. It was recognized that continuous engagement is needed, including provision of educa-tional material, women’s empowerment, and further capacity building of subnational government and civil society leaders. Training, workshops, and mentoring programs were completed for 14 CSOs during the regional and subnational roadshow to assist them to advocate for transparency and EITI implementation in resource-rich communities. However, more EITI advo-cacy work is needed to assist landowners in the affected areas at the district and local community levels.
In November 2017 a report summarizing materi-als, findings, and recommendations of the capacity- building workshops was issued by Publish What You Pay. In February 2018 a report on PNG RGC subna-tional capacity building and technical training was submitted. Further support will be provided through the PNG EITI grant, which is currently in preparation.
Peru Subnational Implementation of EITI (160633)
Pillar 1 RE, Round 1
US$550,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision)
Under Implementation; Effective May 18, 2017; Closing March 15, 2019
Peru became an EITI candidate country in 2007 and in 2012 became compliant with the EITI Rules. Based on 2016 and 2017 validations, Peru was declared to have made meaningful progress against the EITI Standard. A second validation assessing achievement of the correc-tive actions will take place in July 2018. Peru has pro-duced six national EITI reports covering the 13-year period 2004 to 2016. The latest report, covering fiscal years 2015 and 2016 and financed by the government was issued in February 2018. In January 2017 the coun-try produced its beneficial ownership roadmap.
Peru has been an EITI success story in many ways, but the main challenge lies with improving revenue
management at subnational levels because a substan-tial share of extractives payments (50 percent corpo-rate income taxes, 100 percent royalties and fees) are directed to subnational and local governments. How-ever, these payments have not always been well used for development. Peru is now using the EITI process to improve the use of extractives funds for local devel-opment. With that objective Peru has piloted EITI sub-national implementation in the Piura and Moquegua regions and in June 2016 published two subnational reports for the provinces covering 2012–13 data.
The development objective of the US$550,000 EGPS grant that is a follow-up to the EITI MDTF funding is to support the Peruvian government in its ongoing efforts to use the EITI process for improving transparency and governance of the extractive revenues at the regional and local levels. Specifically, the activity includes:
●● Publication of the subnational EITI reports, including the production of summary reports, regional launch conferences, and communi-cation outreach and engagement tailored to specific constituencies in the regions, such as media, academia, religious groups, and regional, provincial, and local government officials.
●● Capacity-building activities focused on effective EITI implementation on regional and local levels for the MSG, technical working group, Secretariat, and other EITI stakeholders, including regional- and local-level stakeholders. A series of workshops analyzing regional and subnational reports, communications and public engagement training, training of regional- and local-level stakeholders on EITI implementation, and capacity-building activities specific to the MSG and National Secretariat staff will be conducted.
So far, the project is active in three of the five planned regions: Arequipa, Moquegua, and Piura. The regional

MSGs have been created, and production of EITI regional reports has started. It is envisaged that the reports will disclose transfers to regional and munici-pal governments derived from extractives as well as the local governments’ investment budgets with the focus on key public investment projects.
Second Philippines EITI Support Project (157976)10
Pillar 1 RE, Round 1
US$1,550,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision)
Under Implementation; Effective October 24, 2016; Closing December 31, 201811
The Philippines joined the EITI in 2013 and in 2017 was declared to have achieved satisfactory progress against the EITI Standard. The country published four EITI reports that cover five fiscal years starting with 2012. The latest report (with 2015/16 data) was issued in December 2017 (a year ahead of schedule), and the fifth report (with 2017 data) is being prepared and will include revenue declarations from small-scale mining license holders. There is also an ambition to compile information about beneficial ownership of operating companies. The Philippines has developed an open data policy and published a beneficial ownership roadmap.
The Philippines made substantial progress in online publication of EITI, sector statistics, and electronic reporting, which marks the first step toward main-streaming the process. The Philippines EITI, in col-laboration with Department of Finance and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, launched in 2017 and 2018 a systematic electronic extractives disclosure (SEED) ini-tiative that has various platforms. It includes an online reporting tool that requires companies and government
agencies to submit their EITI data declarations in elec-tronic formats. This online reporting format is cur-rently being tested under the EITI report preparation. However, the electronic data templates are not yet inte-grated into the existing government systems, and EITI declarations continue to happen in parallel to regular tax filings and other mandatory mainstream reporting. The objective is to merge EITI reporting templates with other government reporting systems after a trial period of the current reporting tool.
The country has maintained a high level of dissemina-tion and outreach activities, which have covered most of the regions with active mining or oil and gas oper-ations. The Philippines EITI has successfully engaged strategic stakeholders, including the media, parlia-mentarians, students, and ethnic minority groups and agencies. The Philippines EITI global leadership position in EITI implementation is illustrated by the MSG and Secretariat members regularly being invited to contribute to national and local governance events, such as the Open Government Partnership, as well as industry conferences. The Philippines EITI is an active member of the global EITI dialogue as the Philippines is represented on the EITI Board, hosted the EITI Board meeting in October 2018 in Manila, and hosted several exchange visits with Papua New Guinea, Mad-agascar, and others. To better gauge the level of public awareness and impacts of EITI, the National Secretariat is preparing its first perception survey, which will pro-vide important guidance to the future priorities of the Philippines EITI.
One of the main challenges remains the creation of a firm legal foundation for the Philippines EITI. The leg-islation on transparency and accountability, including the nonrevocability of the Philippines EITI, is pend-ing approval by the nation’s congress. A proposed bill was submitted to the House of Representatives in 2017, but no action has been taken. The two main objectives of the law are to validate the legal mandate of the Philippines EITI, including budget allocation

and membership designation, and legislate in favor of transparency and mandate operators to participate without invoking confidentiality clauses to avoid data disclosure.
Lack of sustainable financing is a key risk factor that might threaten the Philippines EITI achievements and future. The current EGPS grant, in the amount of US$1.5 million and approved during Round 1, will expire in December 2018, and alternative sources of funding have not yet been identified to fill the gap.
The grant has served as a follow-on to the first EITI MDTF grant, in the amount of US$1.48 million, which was effective from March 2014 to December 2015. The EITI MDTF grant financed core Philippines EITI activities, such as staffing and operations of the National Secretariat, production of the second report, and communications and outreach activities to publicize findings and recommendations from both Philippines EITI reports (the first report was financed with other donor assistance). With the sup-port of the EITI MDTF grant, the Philippines success-fully established the EITI implementation mechanism.
The EGPS grant was designed to support similar activ-ities commenced under the first EITI MDTF grant while aiming to further strengthen and embed the EITI process into government systems and policies. The grant offset the fiscal burden of these activities up front, and annual grant support decreased over the course of three years as government contributions increased. The third, fourth, and fifth reports were financed by the government.
It was originally envisioned that the government would fully finance the Philippines EITI process by 2019. However, financial sustainability of annual reporting and dissemination and administrative costs after the closure of the EGPS grant remain serious challenges, and the government will be requesting an extension of the project’s closing date to June 2019 in the interest of
continued financing of essential activities. Meanwhile, the National Secretariat and the MSG are also strongly encouraged to identify alternative funding sources.
Senegal Support to EITI Compliance Process 1, 2, & Postvalidation (P160022)

Senegal EITI 1 & 2: Under Implementation; Effective June 20, 2016; Closing December 31, 2018
Senegal Postvalidation: Not yet initiated; To be effective from March 2019 through March 2020
Senegal joined EITI in 2013 and since then has pro-duced four EITI reports covering the fiscal years from 2013 to 2016. Senegal was the first African country to receive a satisfactory progress rating during its 2017/18 validation. The country has published its beneficial ownership roadmap, a feasibility study on beneficial ownership implementation, and an open data policy and is working toward streamlining EITI data collec-tion and access. An assessment of the extractives legal and institutional framework for licensing and award-ing of contracts has also been conducted.
Under the first two grants, the EGPS financed:
●● Publication and dissemination of two Senegal EITI reports for 2014 and 2015;
●● Assessment of the extractives legal and institutional framework;
●● Support for communication and outreach activities, including the design and update of Senegal’s EITI website and the production of the documentary film on EITI in Senegal;
●● Technical assistance to produce the Roadmap for Beneficial Ownership; and

25
●● Support and training for stakeholders, such as reporting entities, the National Secretariat, and the Senegal Parliamentarian Network on Natural Resources.
The envisaged postvalidation support from March 2019 to March 2020 will focus on the design of an automatic disclosure system for extractives data. Senegal is plan-ning to introduce an electronic system that will serve as a central repository of extractives data coming from government agencies and the private sector and make these data accessible to the public. The new EGPS grant will finance the first pilot phase of the access to contex-tual data required by the EITI Standard. This will allow Senegal to automatically have the contextual informa-tion needed for EITI reporting and thus make the first step toward streamlining the EITI data disclosure.
Togo EITI Implementation Support (P163207)
Pillar 1 RE, Round 3
US$350,000 (incl. US$50,000 supervision)
Under Implementation; Effective March 22, 2018; Closing December 31, 2019
Togo, an EITI member since 2010, achieved compliance under the EITI Rules in 2013. In 2018, the country was assessed against the EITI Standard and found to have achieved meaningful progress and given 12 corrective actions to implement by November 2019. The country has produced six EITI reports covering fiscal years 2010 through 2015, with the latest report published on time in December 2017. The country has developed a benefi-cial ownership roadmap and an open data policy.
Initially, EITI implementation in Togo relied heavily on EITI MDTF financing. Since the last grant closed in 2013, the government has assumed much of the finan-cial responsibility but signaled the need for additional funding to carry out the requirements of the more-
rigorous EITI Standard. The EGPS grant of US$300,000 was approved in Round 3 in November 2016 to support the country to design digital reporting templates for company and government reporting to simplify data reconciliation and eventually facilitate the creation of open data platforms to increase access to quality data from extractive industries. In addition, the grant will provide financing for updating communication and outreach tool kits, including local language translations.
However, the grant became operational only in March 2018 because the project preparation took a long time. The activities to be funded remain in line with the orig-inal plan in that they support the implementation of 12 corrective actions. Specifically, the EGPS grant will fund the following activities:
●● Automated reporting of production and reve-nue data;
●● Strategic communication and outreach activities, including an impact and perception survey; and
●● EITI Secretariat business planning and long-term financial sustainability.

three EITI reports, covering fiscal years 2013 to 2016 with the 2016 report released in May 2018. All three reports were financed by World Bank-managed trust funds with the last two funded by EGPS. Ukraine now reports eight revenue streams for reconciliation that amount to 100 percent of government revenues from extractives. Besides oil and gas, coal and iron ore data are now also included in the EITI reports. Ukraine has developed an open data policy and a beneficial owner-ship roadmap.
In September 2018, law #6229, “On Ensuring Trans-parency in Extractive Industries,” was adopted by the Ukrainian Parliament. It provides further impe-tus for efforts on mainstreaming extractives data reporting and disclosure. The law requires com-panies and governments to report in line with the EITI Standard and the European Union (EU) Direc-tive on annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements, and related reports. It also stipulates mandatory project-by-project reporting for oil, gas, and mining companies as well as man-datory disclosure of contractual social obligations. Finally, the law strongly encourages systematic dis-closures of government and company data. Thus, it provides an adequate framework for mainstreaming the disclosure of these data sets through main gov-ernmental or company systems. However, automat-ing such disclosures will require intensive technical and financial resources at the initial stages. Ukraine EITI plans to have more detailed discussions with donors on this issue. Currently, with support of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a mainstreaming and EITI e-reporting study is being carried out by DiXi Group, a CSO that is on the Ukraine MSG.
The current EGPS grant is a follow-on to an EITI MDTF grant (Ukraine EITI Implementation Sup-port Project P128405), which financed the estab-lishment of Ukraine’s national EITI Secretariat and
preparation and dissemination of the first EITI report. The EGPS grant consists of two tranches: the first tranche, from Round 1, supported the push for EITI implementation in Ukraine, and the second tranche, from Round 3, is helping to ensure the sus-tainability and mainstreaming of EITI in Ukraine. The current EGPS grant is scheduled to close in December 2018, but given the longer term financ-ing needs of the Ukraine EITI, it is expected that the government will require an extension of the closing date.
The following activities were financed under the first and second EGPS tranches: (i) recruitment of an inde-pendent administrator to prepare the second EITI report covering all extractive industries for calendar years 2014 and 2015 (complete); (ii) subcommittee and regional MSG meetings to set the agenda for EITI implementation in Ukraine; (iii) costs of meetings of the subnational coordination units recently created by the MSG to broaden involvement in the EITI pro-cess and regional MSG meetings for the first year of implementation, which successfully raised aware-ness on EITI efforts; (iv) support advisory services for state agencies and extractive companies to assist in understanding the EITI compliance requirements; and (v) support of the implementation of the EITI communication strategy for the first year of project implementation.
Pillar 2 Projects
There are 12 projects that have only Pillar 2 component, with 10 of them being country projects. There are also two country projects incorporating Pillars 2 and 4. Of these combined 12 country projects, eight also have ongoing EITI projects financed by EGPS, underscoring again the complementarity of EITI and legal frame-work programs. The total allocations for these activities is US$7.3 million, with two projects being completed and eight under implementation.

Country Activities for Pillar 2
Armenia Mineral Sector Policy (P163060)
Pillars 2 & 4
RE, Round 3 & PR
US$300,000 & US$150,000 (plus US$50,000 supervision & US$28,000 supervision top-up)
Under Implementation; Effective November 6, 2017; Closing April 30, 2020
EGPS supported development of a national mining policy through an inclusive multistakeholder pro-cess.13 The policy will help establish the appropriate policy framework for mineral sector governance while ensuring the development of the sector per the high-est social and environmental standards. The EGPS grant, through a consultative process, is supporting the development of a series of diagnostic studies and organization of a national multistakeholder consulta-tion, including sessions in the various mining regions, to develop a shared vision on the future of the mining sector that will result in the formulation of the policy. It will also help develop a policy implementation plan and build local capacity for its effective application.
With support from the World Bank, the terms of ref-erence for two diagnostic studies—Economic Assess-ment of Mining Sector and Environmental and Health Assessment of Mining Sector—were finalized and ready for publication in April 2018. However, in May 2018 Armenia went through a revolution, and a new government was elected with structural changes taking place at all levels. As a result, the project has been delayed.
The impact on project delivery has been especially severe because the project relies on interministerial collaboration and coordination among the mining, environment, economy, and health ministries. The project sits within the prime minister’s office and is governed by a project steering committee for which relevant ministries are represented by vice ministers.
The initial project request came from the (former) prime minister’s chief of staff, who was a strong sup-porter of the project. After the government elections in September 2018, he was replaced, and as a result proj-ect progress suffered. The way forward is still unclear.
Iraq Gas-to-Power Technical Assistance (P163871)
Pillar 2 BE, Round 3 & RE, PR

This activity is part of a comprehensive programmatic technical support to the government of Iraq’s efforts to ensure increased and more-reliable access to energy for the Iraqi population by introducing a core contrac-tual and regulatory framework for private sector-led investment in gas-to-power infrastructure.
The EGPS contribution consisted of two phases and included:
●● Phase 1, which focused on development and introduction of a natural gas pricing meth-odology for gas transactions in the domestic market, establishing a process for determining an indexed gas reference price (GRP) to be used to purchase and sell natural gas; and
●● Phase 2, which focused on development of a draft supplementary natural gas process-ing contract (SNGPC) model between the

Ministry of Oil or its designee and current field operators or other eligible investors, establishing rights and obligations regarding gathering, processing, transporting, buying and selling natural gas under conditions relating to marketing rights, pricing, and transport to be established by regulation.
This activity is cofunded with USAID and consists of a World Bank-designed technical assistance project that aims to support the development and introduction of a core contractual and regulatory framework for pri-vate sector investment in natural gas infrastructure to capture, process, transport, and deliver currently flared natural gas for gas-based power generation.
The proposed framework was submitted for consid-eration by the government in September 2017 as part of the World Bank Development Policy Financing III discussions, approved by Iraq’s Council of Ministers as the new Natural Gas Market Framework (NGMF) in January 2018, and published in the Ministry of Oil’s website in March 2018.
The Iraq Gas-to-Power technical assistance (TA) faced implementation delays because of a conflu-ence of external factors, including (i) a lag of close to one year in the effectiveness of a committed EU grant of US$9.5 million, resulting in (ii) insufficient funding from existing sources to fully implement the originally envisioned scope of work; (iii) political economy considerations of a continued active World Bank engagement with current Ministry of Oil lead-ership during the postelectoral (parliamentary elec-tions held in Iraq in May 2018) transition phase in a highly political sector; and (iv) no progress from the Ministry of Oil’s side in the implementation of the Council of Ministers-approved new NGMF.
Notwithstanding funding restrictions, a natural gas pricing regulation methodology was developed and submitted to the government of Iraq with US$530,000
support from EGPS. In 2018, the team secured an addi-tional US$450,000 in bridge-funding support grants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) MDTF (US$350,000) and EGPS (US$100,000) MDTF to continue activities until effectiveness of the EU funding.
The project now aims to initiate the process of devel-oping a full draft of the SNGP model contract, host a workshop to present the contract model to inter-ested international oil companies, and amend existing bylaws to activate a gas aggregator. Because of con-strained resources, the remaining activities listed here will be pursued only once the EU grant materializes. The team is also looking into possible funding from USAID toward some of these activities. These activities entail:
●● Finalizing the development of detailed regulatory provisions for natural gas pricing, transport, and marketing;
●● Setting up a gas-to-power aggregator under the new gas transport company; and
●● Setting up a core regulatory group under the Deputy Minister for Gas Affairs function, staffing it, and providing on-the-job training anchored in the development work for the contract template and regulations.

This program is providing technical assistance to the Nigerian Ministry of Petroleum Resources and other agencies that work on matters related to oil and gas. The Ministry of Petroleum Resources asked the
EGPS PORTFOL IO AND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS
29
World Bank to assist in the preparation of two new sector policies, one on oil and the other on gas. As an implementation activity arising from the policies, the Ministry also asked for technical assistance in devel-oping the National Gas Flare Commercialization Pro-gram and follow-up on implementation steps, such as reviewing contracts, draft regulations on gas flaring, and preparing program information documents.
The National Petroleum Policy and National Gas Policy were published in the official gazette in December 2017. The Ministry of Petroleum Resources has bene-fited from advice as well as organization and modera-tion of consultation meetings.
Much progress has been made in developing the Nigeria Gas Flare Commercialization Program, the goal of which is to end routine gas flaring and use the flared gas. To that end, considerable support has been provided to improve the draft regulations on gas flaring, which await presidential approval. The activ-ity is also assisting the World Bank’s Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project, which has as one of its components adoption of liquefied petroleum gas as a household fuel.
Global/Regional Knowledge Activities for Pillar 2
Massive Open Online Course on Extractives (TF0A4887)
Pillar 2 BE, Round 4
US$225,000
Under Implementation; Effective April 17, 2017; Closing December 31, 2019
The massive open online course (MOOC) Natural Resources for Sustainable Development: The Funda-mentals of Oil, Gas and Mining Governance is a free online course that focuses on natural resources as a potential catalyst to achieving sustainable develop-
ment goals. The 12-week MOOC outlines the various complex and interrelated aspects of effective natu-ral resource governance and is designed primarily and has been marketed successfully to civil society, government, and industry stakeholders. The topics addressed include governance and industry funda-mentals; development and implementation of robust and transparent legal frameworks; design of optimal fiscal regimes; management of environmental and social risks; engagement with communities; leveraging investments for infrastructure and business links; and management of revenues for economic diversification and development.
The course was developed, run, and updated by the Columbia Center for Sustainable Investment, the Natu-ral Resource Governance Institute, and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network since 2015 with sup-port from World Bank trust funds and staff. The initial financial support came from the Extractive Industries Technical Advisory Facility (EI-TAF) for US$100,000. Because of the success of the first three iterations of the course among professionals, with over 8,000 par-ticipants from 130 countries registered in the first year of the course, additional financing of US$225,000 was provided through EGPS during Round 4 for the fourth iteration. As a response to feedback, the key deliver-ables included filming or refilming of 25 videos and adding multilanguage capabilities, including produc-tion cost and translation of the course and materials and administration into Spanish and French, and financing a teaching assistant.
The MOOC was relaunched with updated content for the spring semester of February–May 2018.
Updates include:
●● New content, including new chapters on corruption trends in the extractive sector; environmental impact assessments; and a new optional chapter on the fundamentals of energy and petroleum;
ANNUAL TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS REPORT
30
●● Revamped content, such as a refilmed com-munity rights module and a fiscal module;
●● Updated course materials, including quiz questions and a final exam; and
●● Updated Spanish and French lecture transcripts and new Russian language transcripts.
During the spring semester, MOOC participants had the opportunity to interact with course faculty through prerecorded question-and-answer (Q&A) sessions. The Q&A sessions were well viewed, with an average of approximately 200 views per answer video.
The course team introduced discussion board activi-ties, which are designed to encourage students to inter-act with each other and explore new resources outside of the learning platform. The course team developed discussion board activities that familiarized students with the Resource Governance Index and Resource-Contracts.org, among other tools and resources.
The spring 2018 running of the course garnered 4,881 enrollments—almost double the number of enrollments from the previous running. Over 500 par-ticipants earned a course certificate, and an estimated 488 participants were likely auditors14 of the course. The countries with the highest representation include Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Overall female participation amounted to 55 percent.
For the spring semester, in addition to the English lan-guage version of the course and the Spanish, French, and Russian transcripts that accompany it, the course team successfully piloted a separate course platform launched entirely in Arabic. The Arabic version of the course attracted 881 enrollees, with participants from
Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Yemen. The course team is incorporating feedback on the Ara-bic course before relaunching next year; the team is also exploring a potential partnership with Edraak, an Arabic learning platform, to optimize the learn-ing experience for Arabic-speaking students from the Middle East and North Africa region.
Now in its fifth edition, the MOOC Natural Resources for Sustainable Development: The Fundamentals of Oil, Gas and Mining Governance is set to launch for the fall semester in September 2018. The MOOC will be hosted on the edX platform, which will open the course to a wider audience.
Pillar 3 Projects
There are four stand-alone Pillar 3 projects, with three being implemented in the countries and the fourth one representing a major knowledge building and dissem-ination program with subthemes including green local content. Although Pillar 3 accounts for the smallest share of financing (US$1.8 million), partly because of lack of available funds, fostering local economic diversification is a crucial but less-researched theme in policy design of resource-rich developing countries, so Pillar 3 projects have a potential for growth in the EGPS portfolio.

d’Ivoire that would enhance the sector’s integration with the rest of the economy. The project has two main components:
●● A national workshop to obtain stakeholder buy-in/commitment for a local content frame-work and to start work on identifying oppor-tunity sectors, analyzing competitiveness and gaps among Ivorian suppliers, and agreeing on basic principles, including key definitions, an approach, and institutional responsibilities.
●● Value-chain analysis to develop the basic parameters for the local content framework, promote and harness south–south knowledge exchange (including study tour to two coun-tries within and outside the region), identify needs for guidelines and potential regulations, develop terms of reference for a capaci-ty-building program for suppliers (building on gap analysis), and provide possible policy actions.
The project experienced a six-month delay because of leadership transition in the Ministry of Industry and Mines. Because of the departure of the minister who championed the project, the activity was delayed pending endorsement by the new team, which has now been obtained. The project was extended, and all deliverables are expected to be completed by Decem-ber 2018. As of now, the following activities have been completed:
●● Stakeholder consultations on a new local content development framework;
●● Multistakeholder workshop on local content development in partnership with IFC and German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ);
●● Proposal for the south–south exchange and study tour to neighboring countries with established experience in local content development; and
●● First draft of the value-chain analysis pre-pared for wider stakeholder consultations and validation.
Extractives-Led Local Economic Development Knowledge Program (P156743)
Pillar 3 BE, Rounds 1, 3, 4, & 6
US$80,000, US$400,000, US$250,000, & US$120,000
Under Implementation; Effective August 27, 2017; Closing June 30, 2020
The Extractives-Led Local Economic Development (ELLED) knowledge program is designed to support innovative thinking and partnership approaches for the design and implementation of sustainable devel-opment policies and projects in this area through targeted research, workshops, advocacy, training, and an online community of practice (CoP).
ELLED is a complex and rapidly evolving policy area. Policies and regulations differ widely among countries and at times between oil/gas and mining in the same country. Although these policies have the potential to stimulate broad-based economic development, their application in petroleum- and mineral-rich countries has achieved mixed results. Policy design involves national, regional, local, and cross-border consider-ations. There is no blueprint solution, although sharing country and company experiences helps to fast-track learning and avoid costly mistakes. For ELLED pol-icies to achieve their potential, there is a strong need to create common understanding, shared value, and collaboration among stakeholders.
The program has two building blocks:
●● Knowledge sharing and outreach made up of the ELLED CoP; and
ANNUAL TRUST FUND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS REPORT
32
●● Knowledge creation, with two subcomponents, including the ELLED online interactive framework and the ELLED climate smart local content theme.
The ELLED program’s CoP continues to deliver excel-lent results in sharing best practice and knowledge on extractives productive policies, ranking 4 on members’ engagement among all online communi-ties hosted by the World Bank. At the end of April, the ELLED CoP had 240 members, including policy makers, regulators, staff of extractive companies, donor representatives, academics, and local content professionals, and as many as 60 members interacting regularly every day. The CoP issues monthly news-letters that cover local content news, literature digest, local content events, new-member profiles, and more recently job and project opportunities shared by CoP members. Webinars are organized every two months on topics identified by the CoP Leadership or requested by CoP members. The most recent dis-cussions focused on voluntary versus regulatory local content framework and the role and design of pro-curement portals.
The ELLED online framework, which aims to pro-vide an online reference framework for the design and implementation of extractives-led local economic development programs, is on track after the initial dif-ficulties with procurement. The framework will pro-vide structured and intuitive access to the large and diversified body of knowledge on extractives-led local economic development methodologies and tools, lever-aging the extensive library developed by the ELLED CoP and other sources. The framework will also serve as a monitoring tool, allowing users to report com-pleted activities against the recommended work flows and generating reports to help users keep track of their progress. The design phase of the framework was com-pleted in May 2018, with support from prominent local content practitioners and academics. The structure and approach were validated with a focus group made up
of government officials in countries with active local content policies and private sector companies. A test site has been set up at www.elledframework.org and will be gradually populated with relevant material and guidelines. User rights, access policies, and copyrights are being developed with assistance from the World Bank’s legal department. Engineers without Borders Canada has agreed to provide the management and platform maintenance of the ELLED online frame-work after project completion at no cost to the ELLED program or EGPS.
Within its climate smart local content theme, the ELLED program is preparing guidelines for the public and private Sectors in reducing the mining cli-mate footprint while promoting economic growth. This work, which is expected to be completed in September 2018, aims to identify opportunities and strategies for emerging and developing economies to facilitate and accelerate the development of climate-smart produc-tion and procurement systems in the mining sector. The ELLED program aims to replicate the effort with respect to the oil and gas sector and will begin fund-raising in 2019. The research team has completed the study methodology, based on the analysis of the mining value chains and identification of subsec-tor focus area, as well as the identification of indus-try leaders and best practice initiatives. Next steps include the preparation of best practice case studies, identification of leading governments and govern-ment policies, stakeholder consultations, and final-ization of guidelines.
Pillar 4 Projects
All eight stand-alone Pillar 4 projects are Bank- executed and focus on knowledge creation and best practice dissemination, with five of them being global activities and three having a regional dimension. The total allocation for Pillar 4 is US$3.2 million. Fiscal 2018’s Pillar 4 highlight was the project exploring the role of minerals in a low-carbon economy. The report

that summarized the research findings launched an exchange on an important topic that had not received sufficient attention. The high rate of response to the project’s findings led to the second phase, which will focus on results dissemination and discussions.15
There was also a lot of interest in the project address-ing gender inequality in extractives, culminating in a global conference that gathered over 100 partic-ipants to discuss the key challenges and emerging solutions.
Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Global Platform (P164674)
Pillar 4 BE, Round PR & 6
US$100,000 & US$150,000
Under Implementation; Effective August 2, 2017; Closing June 30, 2020
The objective of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Global Platform is to provide the global com-munity of practitioners implementing ASM formaliza-tion solutions with a platform to share good practice and optimize on-the-ground financing partnerships. The community of practice will have virtual and face-to-face components, as follows:
●● Component A will consist of an online platform to be structured around a number of learning tools. Tools will include annually issued targeted knowledge pieces; a link to the ASM global database (a separate but related activity); and other tools as identified during the scoping phase.
●● Component B will consist of a support hub to coordinate currently independent ASM
formalization projects and programs being undertaken at a bilateral or multilateral level. This hub will have a financing facility to accept and administer multilateral, bilateral, or private sector funding from interested parties who wish to partner on ASM solutions in countries.
The project deliverables include (i) the ASM platform design and (ii) various research pieces. The first deliv-erable (already completed) is made up of the following subactivities:
●● Public consultations with relevant stakeholder to:●● Map all relevant organizations/agencies/
entities involved in ASM and identify areas of synergy and collaboration;
●● Prioritize areas for collaboration and define the concrete mechanism and modalities;
●● Identify among collaborators those who are willing to provide seed funding; and
●● Agree on a timeline and funding target for platform establishment.
●● Based on the consultations, prepare the ASM platform concept proposal including:
●● Review of lessons learned from Commu-nities and Small-Scale Mining Program (CASM) and other donor-supported operations over the last two decades;
●● A brief options section to discuss mecha-nisms and modalities; and
●● A business plan for the platform’s operation.
The concept and design of what will be called the ASM Global Center of Excellence has been finalized. Proj-ect design has been informed by a consultative and collaborative approach, and a series of conferences were held to verify the demand from stakeholders for such an initiative and identify possibilities of technical as well as financial collaboration among supporting

organizations. After input from the events was reviewed, a stakeholder mapping has been conducted of organi-zations involved in the formalization of ASM, many of whom have expressed interest in being engaged on the Global Center. These have been identified as either technical supporters, financial supporters (including donors), or project beneficiaries.
Donor and development partner commitment has been obtained for the ASM Global Center through contributions from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) facility, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)/IDA lending operations, and EGPS MDTF, with potential for scaling up through future external contributions. Commitment has also been obtained from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the form of in-kind contributions. A number of stakeholders have also confirmed their decision to collaborate with the ASM Global Center’s on-the-ground interventions and research activities.

In December 2015, the World Bank Group (WBG) launched a new gender strategy outlining the sup-port that the WBG would provide to clients during fiscal years 2016–23 to achieve greater gender equality. The strategy focuses on four objectives: (i) improving human endowments; (ii) removing constraints for more and better jobs; (iii) removing barriers to owner-ship and control of productive assets; and (iv) enhanc-ing women’s voice and agency and engaging men and boys. Each objective is highly relevant to extractive activities and client engagements.
As part of the gender strategy, the WBG made a com-mitment that each global practice would prepare a follow-up note indicating how they propose to build on good practices in addressing gender equality in their operational programs. The energy and extractives (EEX) global practice, through its Gender Follow-Up Note, has determined three areas of focus for its oper-ational, analytical, and advisory activities over the next three years. The three areas identified are aligned to the objectives of the WBG gender strategy. In addition, the Note also suggested four categories of follow-up actions, including (i) strengthening analytic foundations; (ii) improving operations; (iii) managing knowledge; and (iv) leveraging partnerships.
The US$100,000 grant was used to implement the EEX Gender Follow-Up Note. The EGPS trust-funded proj-ect supported the corporate and EEX’s requirement on improving operations, with the objective of equipping extractives task teams with knowledge and skills to close the gender equity gap in their lending operations.
With the EGPS funding, four activities were success-fully implemented:
●● A gender in operations portfolio review, which identified that among all lending operations in the extractives unit from fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2017, 74 percent of them programmed in gender-sensitive responses of various kinds at different levels;
●● An operational clinic on WBG’s corporate gen-der requirements, during which WBG gender group colleagues introduced the new corporate requirement on gender, known as the gender tag;
●● An update of operational notes for task team leaders on practical ways to close the gender gaps in lending projects, including the simpli-fied World Bank Gender and Extractives Note, Why Gender Matters for Extractives, and Sug-gested Project Activities and Indicators to Close the Gender Gaps in Extractives; and
EGPS PORTFOL IO AND IMPLEMENTAT ION PROGRESS
35
●● The two-day joint WBG-IFC Global Conference on Gender, Oil, Gas and Mining was held in June 2018, which featured two parallel tracks with approximately 50 panelists, selected from a wide network, aiming to share and build knowledge among practitioners and scholars working in the gender and oil, gas, and mining space. As a follow-up to the conference, the World Bank project team is working on put-ting together a special issue of the Extractives Industries and Society journal. The special issue will include papers submitted by panelists of the conference as well as other individuals interested in the topic. Additionally, a video series is being prepared to capture the best footage from the conference discussions. These two products (the special issue of the journal and the video series) will serve as the final output for the conference.
The US$100,000 EGPS grant has generated profound and lasting impacts among World Bank EEX task teams in terms of understanding the important nexus of gender and extractives. Such impacts have also inspired a broader gender and extractives community
outside the WBG through the successful global confer-ence. To keep the momentum and in recognition of the needs, continued dialogue and tangible engagement on gender and extractives are needed as the evolving industry is getting more conscientious about gender diversity. As for the World Bank activities, their suc-cessful implementation is a beginning rather than an end to support World Bank EEX in closing gender gaps through lending projects. Although EEX task teams now have access to relevant knowledge and tool kits, operational and financial support are still required to help put theory into practice, which entail specific analysis to identify relevant gender gaps before project design and incorporation of feasible actions to close identified gender gaps in projects.
Although EGPS funding cannot serve as the only source for the World Bank EEX project team to push the gender agenda forward, it does provide funding for important activities. In response to the needs pre-sented by World Bank EEX task teams, an additional US$285,000 EGPS grant will be used to provide further operational support to close gender gaps in future EEX lending projects, especially those in the pipeline for the fiscal 2019/20 period.
