AFROSAI-E is uniquely positioned to provide credible insights into the progress of our members.

We have an unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge about the historical and current challenges our member SAIs face individually and collectively. This enables us to effectively assess future opportunities and match SAI needs with capacity-building initiatives for outcome-driven implementation at the SAI level.

Institutional Capacity Building Framework

In responding to the changes, pressures and challenges in the public sector, SAIs should continuously develop their professional and institutional capacity to discharge the requirements of their mandates most efficiently and effectively. One of the methods used to measure the capabilities of SAIs in our region is the ICBF – developed to support the formulation of goals and objectives and to direct the SAI’s activities.

ICBF Self-Assessment Report

Based on the annual ICBF self-assessment questionnaire that member SAIs complete. It gives a regional perspective on the performance and progress of member SAIs during the 12 months against five institutional domain areas.

The Auditor-General of South Africa hosts the Executive Secretariat of AFROSAI-E. The Secretariat is subject to the laws of South Africa and is furthermore governed by the Statutes and Regulations. The employment arrangements of the Secretariat personnel consist of a mixture of staff seconded from other SAIs, staff appointed and funded directly by AFROSAI-E and staff funded by the AGSA.

Roadmap to Success

The ultimate achievement of our strategic plan, is dependent on successfully matching SAI needs with the secretariat-driven capacity development opportunities/interventions and SAIs taking ownership to implement these learnings at SAI-level.
