The annual AFROSAI-E Technical Conference provides a vital platform for our member Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), development partners, and key stakeholders to share insights, discuss challenges, and expand on AFROSAI-E’s technical capacity-building efforts across the region, shaping the future of public sector oversight in Africa.

The theme for the 2026 Conference is Strategic Intelligence for Stronger Governance.

This year’s Conference will explore how SAIs can strengthen their impact by making greater use of strategic intelligence to inform audit planning, strengthen risk-based approaches and enhance the value and relevance of audit outcomes. The programme will be structured around three complementary lenses:

• Insight – Understanding the interconnectivity of the governance, accountability and public finance environment.
• Foresight – Anticipating emerging risks through strategic intelligence and evidence.
• Oversight – Translating better intelligence into more impactful audit outcomes that strengthen governance and support domestic resource mobilisation.

Recognising that no single institution holds the complete picture of governance, the Conference will bring together perspectives from the audit profession, governance institutions, public finance organisations, development partners and other stakeholders to explore how stronger connections across the governance ecosystem can contribute to better decision-making and greater public value.
