With the support of the World Bank's Development Grant Facility, RWI provided funding to Congolese NGO ASADHO between 2006 and 2007 to help build civil society capacity to promote EITI in the Democratic Republic of Congo. ASADHO specializes in economic justice issues tied to natural resource revenue management, particularly in the mining industry.

The project, funded through cooperation with the Netherland's Institute for Democracy in Southern Africa (NIZA), had two primary objectives in helping civil society better participate in the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) process: strengthening data analysis and verification skills for resource revenue information among groups participating in the EITI, and raising public awareness about the importance of EITI through local workshops and published materials. Specifically, ASADHO hosted a national workshop covering taxation and tax-related legislation in the extractive sector, EITI principles and criteria, and the forthcoming validation process, as well as two provincial awareness workshops on EITI and the publication of a guide for local communities on EITI implementation.

The ASADHO project addressed several key World Bank objectives, including decentralized activities, increased communications capacity among the nonprofit, civil society community, improved group coordination for monitoring and advocacy, and greater inclusion and promotion of rural groups in the EITI process. The coalition spent significant time working with Publish What You Pay Africa and NIZA to understand best practices on CSO EITI capacity-building in the region, and these lessons were reflected in the nature and breadth of activities they proposed.

In 2007, RWI also worked separately from the World Bank to co-organize a training for DRC Natural Resource Network member organizations to build their capacity in record keeping, financial management and large project implementation.
