Introduction
This case study focuses on the role civil society in Mongolia has played in influencing mining policies, and adopting and advancing Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). While EITI is only one of few initiatives to promote transparency and build dialogue in mining sector, its multi-stakeholder approach and focus on concrete deliverables make it distinct from other initiatives and gives civil society a very clear and substantive role to influence mining sector development. But challenges remain to make civil society participation more effective, including building its capacity, ensuring more formal participation, providing financial support and requiring responsibility accounting and independence.
