Do you know about the EITI? If not, that’s not surÂprising, because the international Extractive IndusÂtries Transparency Initiative and its implementation in Germany have as yet aroused little public interest. Among German NGOs, too, there is little awareness of the DÂEITI and its reports. Rightly so? Is the DÂEITI just another multiÂstakeholder initiative with which the private sector and the government can do some virtue signalling without really delivering any added value? Or does it actually reveal relevant information about domestic resource extraction that has not previously been available?
