The activities covered in the application has been partly covered by the support provided by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to AFROSAI-E. 31tst July the two parties entered into an agreement which commits MFA to support AFROSAI-E with 2 million USD until 2016. The support is extended with 1,5 million USD for 2017-2019
