The 2026 Work Plan of the Philippine Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (PH-EITI) reflects a year of rigorous collaboration, careful deliberation, and thoughtful prioritization. Its development went through an extensive and iterative process that brought together diverse perspectives from the Multi-Stakeholder Group (MSG), ensuring that key issues were not only identified but carefully assessed and aligned with the country’s evolving governance priorities.

This year’s work plan represents a more refined and responsive approach to planning. Through sustained dialogue and meaningful engagement, the PH-EITI Secretariat, with the strong guidance of the MSG, was able to identify and agree on the most critical priorities for the sector. The process proved to be both demanding and fruitful, allowing all stakeholders to contribute their insights and ensure that their needs and perspectives were fully considered.

Building on these collective inputs, the 2026 Work Plan presents an improved and more structured framework. The priorities gathered during the development phase are organized into four strategic pillars, each representing a key area that will guide the initiative’s outputs and activities throughout the year.
