The PNG Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative is a big step forward for Papua New Guineans to be able to see for themselves that the nation is getting a fair deal from the wealth that's being created from their minerals and energy resources. I've written a couple of times about the importance of EITI. Here's a post that I wrote almost a year ago, to try to bring EITI to the attention of President Biden and beg/goad/cajole/whatever it takes to get him to re-sign the USA back up to the EITI initiative, for the sake of Papua New Guineans - https://lnkd.in/gM3PYMR6. And here's another post which acknowledges that aid is nice, but trade (via the USA signing up to the EITI) is better - https://lnkd.in/gTs4W84k . So, it's good to see that it EITI is moving forward in PNG, hopefully with full US support. It will be interest to watch how this plays out.
