What use is the (D-)EITI? The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in Germany under scrutiny

The D-EITI (Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative) and its reports are also little known in the German NGO world. The paper gives an overview of the structure and functioning of the EITI, the implementation of the EITI in Germany and assesses the content of the EITI reports so far from a civil society perspective.
