Liberia has passed its Validation by the International Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Board despite challenges posed by the internal governance crisis of 2018 and the Covid-19 pandemic. The Country, since January 2022, has been going through Validation by the International EITI Secretariat on its implementation of the New 2019 EITI Standard in Liberia. Liberia was last validated in August 2016.  Through Validation, the EITI’s quality assurance mechanism, implementing countries are assessed on their ability to meet the requirements of the EITI Standard.
