AFROSAI-E 2020-2023 AFROSAI-E 2020-2023 - Evaluation AFROSAI-E African Organisation of English-speaking Supreme Audit Institutions, AFROSAI-E, har ansökt om 10 MSEK för fortsatt kärnstöd under perioden 2020-2021 för implementering av sin strategiska plan "AFROSAI-E Strategic plan 2020-2024". 

AFROSAI-E består av 26 nationella riksrevisionsorgan (i engelsk- respektive portugisiskspråkiga länder) och syftar till att bidra till sina medlemmars kapacitet och kompetens genom utbildning, resursmaterial och andra stödformer, samt att fungera som länk till andra fora, däribland den internationella samarbetsorganisationen INTOSAI. Sekretariatet är inrymt hos det sydafrikanska riksrevisionsorganet, som också ger väsentliga bidrag till verksamheten. Extern utvärdering från 2018 bekräftar att AFROSAI-E når goda resultat men att resultatuppföljning kan förbättras. Utvärderingen rekommenderade AFROSAI-E att fortsätta att stödja sub-regional expertis som i sin tur kan ge stöd till medlemmar, för att sänka kostnader och göra stöd än mer tillgängligt för enskilda medlemmar. 

Sida har stött AFROSAI-E sedan organisationen grundades 2005 och har sett goda resultat i form av relevant och effektivt stöd för medlemmarna. Efter femton års kontinuerligt stöd, syftar denna tvååriga fas till att avsluta Sida-stöd till AFROSAI-E. Riksrevisionen fortsätter att samarbeta med AFROSAI-E och samordning kommer att ske med denna andra svenska aktör, för att genomföra utfasningen på mest strategiska sätt. I dialogen med AFROSAI-E kommer finansiell hållbarhet att utgöra en central fråga, vid sidan av resultatuppföljning och jämställdhet. The African Organisation of English-speaking Supreme Audit Institutions, AFROSAI-E, has applied to Sida for continued core support with a total of 10 MSEK for 2020-2021 to implement the AFROSAI-E strategic plan 2020-2024. 

AFROSAI-E consists of 26 national Supreme Audit Institutions in African English- and Portuguese-speaking countries. and aims to contribute to their members' capacity and competencies through training, resource materiel, and other kinds of support, and to function as a linkage to other fora, including the international collaboration platform INTOSAI.  The secretariat is hosted by the South African SAI - Auditor-General of South Africa, who provides substantive support to the work. An external evaluation from 2018 confirms that AFROSAI-E achieves good results, but that results monitoring could improve. The evaluation recommended AFROSAI-E to continue supporting sub-regional expertise that, in turn, can provide support to members, to decrease costs and make support more easily and less costly available to members.

Sida has supported AFROSAI-E since its inception in 2015 and has noticed positive results such as relevant and effective support to member SAIs. After fifteen years of continuous support, this two year period constitutes a phase-out period of Sida support to AFROSAI-E. The Swedish National Audit Office (SNAO) will continue working with AFROSAI-E and the Embassy will coordinate the support to AFROSAI-E with them, in order to phase out the support in the best possible way. In the dialogue with AFROSAI-E financial sustainability will be prioritised, along with results monitoring and gender equality.
