(3) developing and monitoring the implementation of COCA’s medium- and long-term strategic plan.
 
Objectives of the component in the additional financing project:
a) improving COCA’s audit methodology through developing and training staff on the use of standardized audit programs and updating COCA’s audit manual;
b) Building the capacity of COCA’s staff on special audits in key sectors (oil, tax, customs, banking); c) Twinning COCA with reputable SAIs; and d) Building the capacity of COCA’s staff to enable them to audit foreign aid projects including sending COCA staff on a fellowship with US Government Accountability Office (GAO).
