  • Republic of Armenia Extractive Industries
    2018 REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE (EITI) REPORT 2016-2017 REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE (EITI) REPORT 2016-2017 PUBLISHED IN DECEMBER, 2018 EITI Report Dear readers, As the Chairman of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in Armenia, I am pleased to present to the public at large the first EITI National Report covering the fiscal years 2016 and 2017. The Report is the outcome of the multilateral co-operation between the Government, the civil society, the business sector and international partners, without precedent in Armenia. It is valuable especially in terms of processing and publication of a large amount of information on the metal mining sector which is traditionally considered to be a closed sector. The participatory nature of the process and the consensus decision making impart greater importance to the Report. The natural resources of Armenia are the exclusive property of the state. Therefore, the Government, among other areas, has prioritized the issue of improving the sector governance. In particular, the Government has already established the need to develop a new strategy and has undertaken sectoral studies. However, effective reform can only be achieved by ensuring a high level of accountability and transparency, which will help increase public control, reduce corruption risks and build a stable environment of mutual trust through good governance. The consistent implementation of the EITI Standard in Armenia aims at accomplishing all of these tasks. It was by the joint development of this Report that the Government, together with the civil society and business people, broke the stereotype existing perhaps two years ago that there are no overlapping concerns between the three parties on controversial issues.
