This panel, organized by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), will explore how producer countries are responding to the risks of fiscal leakages and integrity challenges once minerals leave the mine. Weak oversight in trading and value addition projects contribute to the loss of fiscal revenues along the critical minerals value chain. This panel will examine how producer countries in the Global South, including Zambia, and Chile, are pursuing value addition while addressing integrity risks. Discussions will focus on the role of state-owned enterprises, fiscal oversight, and supply chain due diligence. The session will also explore how different data sources, including those collected by EITI, can be used to enhance due diligence efforts and identify integrity risks.
