PWYP Africa Regional Workshop and Strategy Meetings
In collaboration with the World Bank's Development Grant Facility and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, RWI provided support to Catholic Relief Services Cameroon to prepare for and conduct an EITI Regional Training for African civil society activists in Limbe, Cameroon. This training, in March, 2007, aimed to boost the capacity of the most active and promising civil society leaders in sub-Saharan Africa to actively participate in EITI processes in their own countries. The event was a 'training of trainers' follow-on to the World Bank/PWYP-hosted training in Kribi, Cameroon in December 2005. This project addressed several major challenges related to CSO capacity-building around EITI in West Africa, including: increasing coordination of CSOs participating in EITI at a regional level to ensure continuing exchange of best practices, training on EITI principles and criteria, validation processes and audit, and addressing issues such as the impact of different fiscal and contracting arrangements for extractives, international best practices on licensing, and model revenue management laws.
