A media monitoring survey from mid-2016 to mid-2017 showed that the EITI has the highest media footprint, followed by the OGP, with the APRM lagging behind. The authors argue that MSIs struggle with 'open-washing,' where governments join for publicity without intending to reform, and that their reports are often too long and technical for journalists to translate into public action. To increase impact, the report recommends that MSIs move beyond merely informing the public toward mobilizing citizens through strategic alliances with social movements, using local languages and radio, and adopting a more aggressive 'naming and shaming' approach for non-compliant members.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"saiia-000607#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"The EITI, OGP, and APRM all suffer from low public awareness, with the EITI having the most prominent media profile and the APRM the least.
