Project to install an integrated IT network (network and web) for the Court of Auditors, 2014-2015 – Sao Tome and Principe

The Court of Auditors of Sao Tomé e Príncipe is seeking support for developing an integrated IT network.
 
The initiative is based on the SAI’s Strategic Plan 2014–2015, which is being developed within the scope of the IDI Strategic Planning Programme. The establishment of a fully operational IT network, covering both offices of the SAI, is expected to contribute to better service delivery and improved efficiency in carrying out the core auditing tasks of the SAI. Expected benefits include improved communication between staff of the Court of Auditors  for the purposes of file sharing and internal email, better access to files and applications located in the Court of Auditors’ servers, ensuring access to the outside via the internet (privileged users) and subsequently, external file transfer and email, and providing information to key stakeholders. Support is sought for acquisition of equipment and consultancy services.
 
A copy of the application is available to those interested in providing support. Please contactintosai.donor.secretariat@idi.no
