An Expert Advisory Board composed of representatives of international organisations and institutions has been established to catalyse efforts, promote effective collaboration, avoid duplication of work and fill the implementation gap. The International Monetary Fund, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum have formally joined the Expert Advisory Board.
Other stakeholders (private sector, civil society and think thanks with expertise on natural resources) are involved through regular multi-stakeholder consultations and their input sought in order to support the inter-governmental process and further advance the objectives of the programme. More specifically, extractive industries and industry associations are associated to the initiative through a Business Consultative Platform.
