FSVC is implementing the CLEAR Central Asia program in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, with funding from the UK FCDO, to strengthen extractive sector governance and promote compliance with the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI).
The program provides technical assistance, training, and peer learning to EITI National Councils, multi-stakeholder groups (MSGs), civil society organizations, journalists, and private sector actors. The program focuses on three key objectives:
Objective 1: Strengthen EITI compliance and integrate extractive governance into broader legal and policy frameworks.
Objective 2: Improve stakeholder engagement in extractive regions.
Objective 3: Foster peer learning and regional collaboration among EITI actors.
