“…the case in many countries. Yet, as several studies emphasize, some governanceby-disclosure processes-for example, when carried out through multistakeholder approaches-can empower civil society actors through their inclusion in "constituting and debating" transparency (Vijge 2018, 13), which, in turn, can promote further governance innovation (Arond et al 2019). More optimistically, and as discussed below, this suggests that in order to be most effective, transparency initiatives should come with a ToC identifying the mechanisms and conditions from information disclosure to the stated objectives and tailored to local contexts, priorities, and promising avenues for more inclusive and effective governance.…”

Transparency is now a core principle in environmental and resource governance. Responding to calls for a clearer identification of pathways from transparency to effective change, this article identifies three “Theories of Change” for governance-by-disclosure and applies them to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Among the best known global transparency initiatives, the EITI has used an inclusive multistakeholder governance model and elaborate compliance standards, disclosing trillions of dollars in natural resource revenues. Yet, after two decades, the EITI is still largely without an explicit and proven theory. This study finds that a Theory of Change for the EITI is possible, valuable, and even necessary as the EITI risks becoming obsolete in some participating countries. The proposed Theories of Change provide valuable templates for environmental and resource governance, yet such models need to reflect national contexts, needs, challenges, and objectives to ensure fit and effective implementation, including measures enforcing accountability.
