A new round of the “Saudi Fund for improved SAI performance (SAUDI FISP)” was launched within INTOSAI in January 2023. The Saudi Arabian General Court of Audit has kindly offered again USD 1 million to distribute amongst those INTOSAI members with the greatest need for external support in developing and expanding their ICT infrastructure. The Saudi Arabian Court of Audit, as part of the leadership of the INTOSAI Donor Cooperation, is leading by example and supporting the achievement of the Cooperation’s Goal 2, Scale up support to SAIs, to enhance their resilience through ICT solutions.

• Mechanism: the IDI Global Foundations Unit will facilitate the process and support SAIs with the application.

• Funds can be disbursed immediately by the Saudi GCA directly to the SAI.
