Ensuring equal participation in decision-making on the extractive sector is critical to addressing inequalities and ensuring that the sector is managed in the interest of all citizens. By recognising and promoting the participation of women in the extractive sector – as employees, business owners, community members and decision-makers on resource governance – governments and companies can ensure that resources are managed more equitably. To this end, the EITI encourages women’s participation in extractives governance and EITI processes, as well reporting on the gender distribution of employment in the sector. We routinely track gender representation and reporting to monitor countries’ progress in this area and collaborate with partners to deliver guidance on gender sensitive EITI implementation.
