At the 2025 AFROSAI-E Technical Conference, two Supreme Audit Institutions were recognised for their exceptional leadership and contribution to advancing public sector auditing in the region.

The AFROSAI-E Awards of Excellence celebrate SAIs that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to implementing AFROSAI-E guidance and leading by example in their work.

National Audit Office of Tanzania – Excellence in Environmental and Sustainability Auditing

SAI Tanzania was honoured for its exemplary leadership in advancing environmental and sustainability auditing. The SAI has been an active and consistent partner in AFROSAI-E’s environmental initiatives since 2022 and has generously shared its expertise to strengthen capacity across the region.

Their innovative work continues to bring visibility to the region globally. At the recent INTOSAI WGEA meeting in Malta, SAI Tanzania received international recognition for its audit on the Management of Carbon Trade, which showcased the use of satellite imagery, spatial mapping, and heatmaps to verify environmental interventions and assess emission reductions. As host of the AFROSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing, SAI Tanzania continues to inspire its peers through professionalism, innovation, and commitment to sustainability.

Office of the Auditor General of Uganda – Excellence in Emerging Public Sector Audit Issues

SAI Uganda was recognised for its innovation and leadership in addressing emerging public sector audit issues. The SAI has shown foresight and adaptability in tackling complex areas such as extractive industries, illicit financial flows, disaster preparedness, and large infrastructure projects. Through the application of the Public Financial Management Reporting Framework, SAI Uganda has provided valuable insights to strengthen transparency and accountability.

Beyond its national work, SAI Uganda continues to play a key role in regional collaboration. Its partnership with the national anti-corruption agency helped shape the AFROSAI-E SAI–ACA Collaboration Framework, and its contributions to the Research in Motion initiative continue to support shared learning and knowledge exchange across the region.

AFROSAI-E congratulates SAI Tanzania and SAI Uganda for leading by example and upholding the spirit of excellence that defines our community. Their achievements reflect the collective strength and professionalism of the region’s audit institutions in promoting good governance and accountability.
