The specific objectives of the GHEITI are to:
- enhance the demand-side of social accountability by providing public insights into revenues derived from the exploitation of the country's extractive resources;
- create the platform for public debate on the spending efficiency of extractive sector revenues;
- identify gaps and weaknesses in resource revenue management and make recommendations to prevent revenue leakage and abuse;
- ensure that extractive revenue / expenditure information are provided in a timely manner, and in an accessible and comprehensible format;
- guarantee the sustainability of Ghana's EITI by backing it with legislation and mainstreaming
