Beneficiary level: Regional
Project status: Ongoing
INTOSAI region(s): CREFIAF
Duration from: 2016-03-03

Total budget (US Dollar): $13600000

This project aims to enhance transparency and accountability of national revenue collection related to natural resources in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Madagascar and Mali and in francophone Sub-Saharan Africa. Building the capacity of national Supreme Audit Institutions and other oversight bodies to audit and monitor the extractives industry is expected to help maximize government revenues to improve the delivery of services to citizens and help reduce poverty. Project activities include: (1) developing regional and country-specific extractive industry audit guidelines, training curricula and other technical resources aligned with international best practices, including gender and environment-specific tools; (2) completing extractive industry pilot audits in target countries to test guidelines and technical resources; (3) delivering extractive industry audit training and on-the-job coaching to Supreme Audit Institutions and other national oversight bodies; and (4) developing guidelines and processes for systematically engaging stakeholders, including citizens, women’s groups, civil society organizations, media and industry in extractive industry auditing processes.
