Background
The Malawi Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (MWEITI) intends to produce the 10th EITI report in line with the EITI International Standard and guidelines. Producing an EITI report is a key requirement for member countries to remain compliant and active in the EITI community. The report gives citizens and stakeholders reliable information and analysis across the extractive industries value chain; its main scope is publishing extractive industries’ annual payments and reconciling revenue for companies and Government. It supports public policy debate, policy reform, transparent management of natural resources and advocacy in the sector.
The MWEITI Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG) has agreed the terms of reference for the work of the consultant, the Independent Administrator (IA), with technical support from the MSG and the MWEITI National Secretariat. The 10th report is expected to be financed by the Malawi Government through the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, for the second time since EITI began. The IA will be expected to produce the final report by mid-January 2027. The report will cover the 2025/2026 financial year (April 2025 to March 2026).
