What is the
process for validation?
The country’s end goal is to become an EITI compliant country. Since a country is only given
a maximum of five years to hold a candidate status, it is required that the validation be made
within two and a half years after the country becomes a candidate.
A country that attains compliant status will be required to undertake validation every three
years.
