Djibouti – Strengthening Accountability for Efficient and Transparent Public Expenditure Implementation

The development objective of the project is to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the implementation of public funds, by building the capacity of the Court of Accounts (CoA) to become a well-functioning Supreme Audit Institution (SAI). Under the project support will be provided to the CoA in: i) reviewing the existing legal framework and practices, to ensure effectiveness, professionalism and independence, ii) establishing audit methodologies and capacity building for financial and compliance audits of public sector program implementation, meeting international good practices and risk-based audit approaches, and iii) developing citizen engagement mechanisms to complete the accountability cycle through increased stakeholder feedback over the government’s delivery of services.
 
It will be sought to include a peer SAI in the delivery of the project in addition to consultants.

This project is a direct response to the request made by SAI Djibouti under the Global Call for Proposals 2011
