HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Investing in People, the Most Valuable Resource

Developing the Human Resources Management function in SAIs is one of AFROSAI-E’s strategic imperatives, as well as one of the 5 domains of the AFROSAI-E Institutional Capacity Building Framework. For SAIs to address challenges facing the audit profession, it is of vital importance to rethink the way human resources is planned, deployed, contracted, managed and developed. To promote the progress of professional Human Resources Management within the region, AFROSAI-E has developed an Integrated Competency Framework and Human Resources Management Handbook, which were officially launched at the AFROSAI-E Technical Update in 2017.
