Last year, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) suspended Guyana from its membership because of the delay in compiling and publishing its 2020 annual report. The delay was attributed to a disagreement between the newly appointed National Coordinator and certain members of the Multi-Stakeholder Group over the terms of reference for the Independent Administrator responsible for compiling the report. The report was eventually published in July 2023. As a result, Guyana’s membership to that body was restored.
