In many countries, oil, gas, and mining funds are often associated with poverty, conflict and corruption.

As a supplementary means to improve management level, British Prime Minister Tony Blair launched EITI in September 2002. EITI provides a good starting point for broadening and exploring financial management. Since the implementation of EITI, EITI has received extensive support from the international community, but the focus of the implementation of these plans lies in each country. Sponsored by the state and participating in this plan by companies means a commitment to the domestic and international communities to increase transparency and strengthen accountability in public life, government management and business interactions.
