The Opening Extractives (OE) programme, jointly implemented by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and Open Ownership, is organising a two-day workshop together with the Freedom of Information Centre of Armenia (FOICA) for civil society organisations (CSOs) and journalists. The aim for this workshop is to raise awareness on the importance of quality and timely beneficial ownership (BO) data, and to share skills, tools, and methodologies to analyse and use BO data.
The workshop will be run over three days, between 30th September and 1st October. Sessions will be led by the Opening Extractives and FOICA teams, and with expert support from experienced journalists and research/advocacy analysts. Participants are encouraged to arrive at the venue during Thursday 29th September evening, where a courtesy dinner will be organised to meet other participants and workshop trainers.
Any person working in a CSO or media centre, independent journalists, or active citizens interested in the topic of company ownership and control can apply to take part in the workshops.
