DRC: Strengthening Civil Society Capacity in the EITI Process
With the support of the World Bank's Development Grant Facility, RWI provided funding to ASADHO to help build civil society capacity to promote EITI in the Democratic Republic of Congo. ASADHO is a Congolese NGO specializing in economic justice issues tied to natural resource revenue management, in particular in the mining industry.
The project, funded through cooperation with the Netherland's Institute for Democracy in Southern Africa (NIZA), had two primary objectives: promoting data analysis and verification skills among groups participating in the EITI to conduct an analysis of the revenue information and verify related data; and raising public awareness about the importance of EITI through local workshops and published materials.
The ASADHO project addressed several key World Bank objectives, including decentralized activities, increased communications capacity among the NGO/CSO community, improved group coordination for monitoring and advocacy, and greater inclusion and promotion of rural groups in the EITI process.
