International Secretariat
The International Secretariat supports countries in implementing the EITI Standard and serves the EITI Board.
Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, the International Secretariat is a small team with origins from all corners of the globe. The International Secretariat is responsible for the functioning of the EITI Association and supports more than 50 countries in implementing the EITI Standard. Our work spans across different areas such as country support, policy, communications, data analysis and administration.
Our culture is underpinned by our values of integrity, professionalism and respect for diversity. With over 25 countries represented among our staff, we value our differences in backgrounds, culture, perspectives and languages. We believe those differences are an important part of what drives innovation and progress in our field.
