本文考察了采掘业透明度倡议（EITI）。发展中国家采掘业收入的管理缺乏透明度，使这些国家的腐败根深蒂固，贫穷和不发达问题更加恶化。EITI旨在提高透明度和责任制，以便在资源丰富的发展中国家创造减少贫困及其相关的社会冲突和政治不稳定的环境。本文考察了尼日利亚在实施EITI方面的实验，评估了其有效性、影响以及对该倡议的其他国家和利益相关者的前景。在更广泛的层面上，本文提请注意贫困与腐败之间的关系，以及自愿行为准则在解决这些问题方面可以发挥的作用。
This article examines the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Lack of transparency in the management of revenues from extractive industries in developing countries has entrenched corruption and worsened poverty and the problems of underdevelopment in these countries. The EITI is an attempt to induce transparency and accountability in order to create an environment for the reduction of poverty and its associated social conflicts and political instability in resource-rich developing countries. The article examines the Nigerian experiment at implementing the EITI, assessing its effectiveness, implications and prospects for other countries and stakeholders of the initiative. At a wider level, the article draws attention to the relationship between poverty and corruption, and the role that voluntary codes of conduct can play in addressing these issues.
