IBRD Trust Funds - World Bank

Published purpose

CIDA’s grant to the Extractive Industries Technical Advisory Facility (EI-TAF) builds the capacity of developing country governments to formulate extractive industry agreements and related policies prior to agreeing to new mining projects or licensing new firms. This will in turn reduce the risk of costly remediation at a later stage of projects and increase transparency and certainty for companies seeking to undertake mining operations. In addition to providing rapid-response advisory and capacity building services, EI-TAF also supports the production and dissemination of global knowledge products on extractive industry sector issues to help address the lack of information that exists on sound extractive industry sector governance and management. The EI-TAF is a multi-donor trust fund managed by the World Bank.
