Raising Public Awareness and Understanding of EITI in Cote d'Ivoire
In April 2007 following the formal launch of the Ivorian PWYP Coalition, RWI provided financial support in collaboration with the World Bank's Development Grant Facility for civil society capacity building around EITI. RWI is working with four lead organizations: Eden International, Droits et Devoirs Democratiques (DDD), Coalition Pour le Plaidoyer Anti-Corruption et la Transparence en Cote d'Ivoire (Copactci), and Gouvernance et Culture du Developpment (GCD) all of whom are founding members of the PWYP Coalition in Cote d'Ivoire. The overall purpose of the project is to disseminate EITI criteria and principles to the various actors (civil society, parliamentarians, media, government), institutionalize the EITI through a proposed law to the Parliament, and ensure that the government of Ivory Coast in effect implements the EITI as a means to reduce poverty and promote peace. This will be done through increasing awareness of civil society and the media, building EITI capacity and CSO consensus on the issue, and advocacy on behalf of a framework for EITI implementation and legislation.
