Despite receiving only just over a third of the information requested from nine government agencies, the Guyana Extractive Indus-tries Transparency Initiative (GYEITI) is optimistic it will be able to receive all the data by the end of the year, its head Dr. Rudy Jadoopat says.
Speaking to Stabroek News at the GYEITI’s new office on Main Street, Jadoopat emphasised that the country’s first report on the governance of the extractive industry has to be submitted by April next year to the global Extractive Industries Trans-parency Initiative (EITI). This is part of the
process for full accession to the EITI.
