Turning leadership from capacity into capability

The AFROSAI-E Senior Leadership Development Programme (SLD) starts this week with the first of 3 workshops. Senior leadership teams from the SAIs of South Africa, Mozambique, Nigeria, Namibia, Kenya and Tanzania are participating in the SLDP, with a total of 26 leaders taking part. The programme aims to improve the critical competencies, conceptual knowledge, values and behaviours that are fundamental for leadership teams to inspire, influence, motivate, recognise and guide others to achieve and sustain excellence in the SAI environment.

The third meeting of the Interim Oversight Board (IOB) for the Professionalisation of Public Sector Accounting and Auditing in Africa was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 6 to 7 July 2017. It was the first IOB meeting to include five members nominated by the Pan-African Federation of Accountants (PAFA). These new members joined the existing IOB membership of five Auditors General from within the AFROSAI-E region.
