7 Summary EITI MDTF Work Plan for FY12–FY14 WB/MDTF faces two wide-ranging challenges going forward: Sustain current WB/MDTF support for EITI implementation, through: - Continued support to implementing countries to achieve compliance status; - Expanded CSO capacity building efforts; - Enhanced training beyond stand alone activities; - Development of the EITI Handbook into an interactive tool for knowledge sharing and advisory/guidance to all EITI practitioners; and - Closer follow-up on MDTF results framework and improvements to capturing country results. Adjust WB/MDTF support to implement the “new” EITI. WB/MDTF technical assistance and funding would very likely need to be adjusted. Main implications: scope, time line, cost of MDTF assistance
