Contract partner: IDI - INTOSAI Development Initiative
Country: developing countries, unspecified Funding amount: € 2.100.000,00 Project start: 01.01.2024 End: 31.12.2029
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Overall goal
Support to Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in developing countries to sustainably enhance SAI performance and capacity. SAIs are cornerstones of each country’s accountability eco-system. Over the next six years IDI will continue to advance its vision of independent, credible and sustainable SAIs that contribute to better societies and improved lives. In its support to SAIs, IDI will emphasise the three strategic objectives: sustainability, digitalisation and public trust in SAIs.
The INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) is a not-for profit, autonomous implementation body of INTOSAI (International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions) mandated to support SAIs in developing countries.
Expected results
IDI expects to strengthen the performance and capacity of more than 140 SAIs across the globe and has defined targets for the three defined strategic priorities and its six work streams (independent, professional, relevant, well-governed SAIs, bilateral support and Global Foundations).
IDI tracks progress at SAI outcome level and measures results at different levels:
• Contributions to SAI outputs
• Contribution to Improved SAI Capacity in Developing Countries
• IDI Outputs
Here is a small selection of cumulative targets that IDI wants to reach by end of 2026. Support to:
- 141 SAIs in contributing to sustainable development
- 27 SAIs in contributing to better use of technology by governments - 66 SAIs in demonstrating their value to the public - 73 SAIs in enhancing their sustainable governance practices
- 188 SAIs in improving SAI capacity for sustainable audit practices
- 25 SAIs in mainstreaming gender and inclusion into their operations
This will result in for example:
- SAIs’ ability to monitor and respond to threats to SAI independence
- Increased awareness on the importance of SAI independence,
- Improved SAI Audit Mandates and Governance Practices,
- Coalitions in support of SAI independence,
- Public dissemination of strategic management documents by participating SAIs,
- SAI Strategic Management Handbook
- Enhanced capacity of SAI staff in strategic management
- High-quality capacity development support on risk and crisis management
- High-quality capacity development support on ICT governance
- Publication of SAI audit results
