Guinea Conakry: Strengthening Civil Society Capacity in the EITI Process
In 2006 with the support of the World Bank's Development Grant Facility, RWI provided support to the African Center for Development Training (CENAFOD) in Guinea Conakry. The project sought to facilitate a training and public awareness program around EITI processes and implementation in communities affected by mining. Areas of focus included increasing civil society awareness of EITI, promoting the importance of transparency for sustainable development and poverty reduction, creating and mobilizing local civil society coalitions, and strengthening the capacity of local media to disseminate information on EITI.
CENAFOD is an experienced local NGO with vast experience in information dissemination, training, capacity building and local development and advocacy work. It has managed several projects in the past for international organizations such as the World Bank, the European Union, and the African Development Bank.
