EXECUTIVE SUMMARYPapua New Guinea (PNG) has achieved greatprogress in implementing the EITI Global Standardsince 2014 and remains overtly committed to ensuringimproved transparency and accountability forstrengthened governance in the extractives sector.Since becoming a member of the International EITI,the PNG Government (GoPNG) had been fullysupportive of the initiative with significant resourceallocation over the years resulting in the publication ofsix (6) consecutive PNGEITI Annual Country Reportsthat covered financial years (FY) 2013 to 2018.Furthermore, the PNGEITI had consistentlyaddressed requirement 7.4 Review of the outcomesand impact of EITI implementation with the productionFigure 1 Mr Lucas Alkan PNGEITI Head of National of the PNGEITI Annual Progress Report (APR). TheSecretariatEITI APR is a mandatory requirement of the EITIStandard that indicated the outcomes and impacts ofEITI Implementation in host countries. The PNGEITI National Secretariat had progressivelyfulfilled this requirement with the production of seven APR’s that covered financial years (FY)2013 to 2019.This report highlights key outputs in the 2019 financial year from activities undertaken by thePNGEITI National Secretariat and its Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG). The activities in 2019witnessed increased involvement from the MSG in addressing recommendations from thePNGEITI FY Reports; the NEC Decision 91/2017; and, the Validation Report of 2018. Withthe introduction of the new Validation Model and flexible reporting requirements from EITIInternational welcomed by the PNGEITI MSG, the country will now undergo Validation in Aprilof 2021.Aside from these undertakings; the PNGEITI progressed its annual recurrent programs withincreased technical support from international development partners such as the World Bank,and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA).Key highlights in the 2019 financial year included the drafted Extractive IndustriesTransparency Commission Bill that will now undergo legislative processes prior to dispatch toCabinet for deliberation.The culminated efforts of the various MSG Technical Working Groups (TWG) ensured thecompletion of the Beneficial Ownership Roadmap by the Roadmap Implementation Manager(RIM) KPMG in December 2019, and the BO reporting in the PNGEITI Reports will follow in2020.The PNGEITI-JICA Project garnered substantive output which resulted in increased dataassurance in the 2019 FY Report as well as enhanced collaboration between the Departmentof Petroleum and the PNGEITI MSG. The two and a half year project is expected to concludeby the end of 2020, however, due to disruptions caused by Covid 19, the project is nowextended beyond 2021.Additionally, the 2019 PNGEITI communications programs generated good results in 2019with increased presence in the mainstream media of the 2018 PNGEITI Report findings andvarious discussion papers and events proved invaluable for various audiences. Numerousoutreach activities conducted had succeeded in stimulating dialogue and collaborationamongst various local civil societies groups and interest groups, as well as State regulatorsand academics both domestic and international on how to address pertinent issues related to4
extractive governance in PNG. The PNGEITI National Secretariat increased its emphasis onpromoting a neutral stance on various sensitivities debated in the public domain despiteindiscriminate use of the report findings by various groups.Administratively, the National Secretariat delivered EITI key activities within its parameters asmandated through NEC and under the guidance of the PNGEITI MSG through the mandatoryMSG quarterly meetings; MSG Technical Working Group meetings; and, MSG consultations.The recent emphasis on gender balance in the 2019 EITI International Standard is capturedwithin PNGEITI and MSG work plans going forward. Data from the MSG meeting minutesindicated a need to strengthen participation, however, despite the disparity, female votingmembers played a significant role in enhancing the implementation of the EITI from years2012- 2019.The EITI remains a neutral platform for dialogue amongst stakeholder’s operating in theextractive sector and is considered to be a valuable mechanism by which gaps in existinggovernment systems can be identified, and the recommendations contained within to beelevated to policy level for reform.The PNGEITI objectives remain consistent with PNG National Government priorities throughthe objectives of the National Policy on Transparency and Accountability in the ExtractiveSector 2019:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.The Independent Administrative BodyFull Participation in extractive sector transparency and accountabilityComprehensive Disclosure of InformationLimit Corruption in GovernmentDiagnostic Tool as support Extractives Sector ReformBetter Public Financial Management in Extractive Industry SectorEncourage Public Debate and Policy MakingEffective Information Dissemination among stakeholdersEnsure Complementarity with Transparent and governance in PNGI hereby present this annual report for financial year 2019 for your utmost interest andconsideration.Mr Lucas AlkanHead of PNGEITI National Secretariat5

Thereason being that these initial meetings from period 2012- 2016 included key decisionsregarding materiality thresholds and various revenue reporting requirements; integration ofEITI into various stakeholder processes; the design, and the terms of reporting for entities andmateriality threshold of reporting entities. The period post- 2016 saw more stabilisation inreporting with an increase in TWG meetings with a view to limit quarterly general MSGmeetings to resolve on key recommendations from the Technical Working Groups.1.1. Gender representation in the PNGEITI Multi-Stakeholder Group MeetingsGender representation in the 2019 PNGEITI Meetings is still largely male dominated, however,key voting on EITI implementation still comprise of equal participants across the threeconstituents. Gender Balance is captured inside the EITI Standard in MSG Requirement 1.4(ii); Requirement 6.3 (d) in Contribution of the extractive sector to the economy; Requirement7.1 Public debate (a) (ii) (v); EITI Open data policy Preamble (4) and EITI Open data in EITIImplementation (9) (c); and, EITI Articles of Association, Article 4 Organisation (3).Gender Composition in2019 PNGEITI MSG Meetings30201022121725117Meeting 2Meeting 318110Meeting 1Meeting 42019MaleFemaleFigure 4 Gender Composition in 2019 PNGEITI MSG MeetingsFormer EITI International Chairman Fredrik Reinfeldt, Chair of the EITI Board 2016-2019announced that the key shift in the 2019 EITI Standard not only called on countries andcompanies to systematically disclose information through their own systems but it alsocompelled these reporting entities to capture disclosures requirements on environmental,social and gender impacts.7
The PNGEITI National Secretariat is working progressively to strengthen gender balance inthe MSG with the assistance from the JICA team. As indicated in the above graph above,males still outnumber females in meetings, however, female representatives in Government,Industry and CSO contributed immensely, through votes and consultations, toward theformulation of EITI implementation in Papua New Guinea.1.1. Sectoral participation in the PNGEITI Multi-Stakeholder Group MeetingsThe financial year 2019 witnessed increased attendances in EITI meetings from the threeMSG constituents with notable engagements from international development partners WorldBank EGPS, JICA EITI Project and the Australian Government through ABT and Associates,on specialised technical assistance projects.Government attendance reflected the States commitment to EITI implementation with themore representation in the meetings. CSO Participation has been consistent and productiveas reflected in the meeting four to finalise the PNGEITI 2018 financial year report.
