Providers of Support:
 
The European Union delegation to Seychelles has provided AFROSAI-E with funds to assist in the implementation of the bilateral cooperation with OAG Seychelles. In 2013 the project has included support on implementation of the AFROSAI-E Regularity Audit Manual, training on environmental audit and IT audit and development of electronic working papers. The EU Delegation decided to finance the technical assistance through a grant derogation to AFROSAI-E given that it is a non-profit institution and has the required competencies to deliver the TA. The funds were used to finance regional experts from the AFROSAI-E member SAIs and experts from the AFROSAI-E Secretariat.
 
SAI India is willing to provide staff and facilities towards this program, subject to the availability of donor funding for other program costs. A donor initial expressed an interest in providing financial support, but this has not been taken forward.
 
The World Bank are in dialogue with other interested providers: Elements of the proposal may be considered for a technical assistance programme provided as part of the general budget support programme.
