Recent advancements in the governance of human resources within Francophone Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) have been marked by a significant engagement under the TOGETHER Initiative. From September 29 to October 4, 2024, the SAI Human Resource Management (HRM) Review and Planning workshop was held in Djibouti, symbolizing a pivotal step toward fostering effective, inclusive, and ethical HR governance tailored to the specific needs of each institution in the region.
The workshop convened eight SAI teams from several countries, including Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Madagascar, and the Central African Republic. Participants collaborated to complete an integrated diagnostic assessment of their respective HRM systems, fostering an environment conducive to open dialogue. This collaborative setting allowed teams to candidly discuss challenges and prioritize recommendations for actionable HRM development plans.
Prior to the workshop, participants undertook a comprehensive eLearning course focused on HRM fundamentals, supplemented by specialized organizational reviews. This preparatory work equipped attendees with a robust knowledge base that could be applied during collaborative sessions. As a result, each team returned to their institutions with concrete recommendations addressing institutional, organizational, and professional constraints while also considering the specific needs of their respective SAIs.
Looking ahead, the IDI aims to engage with interested SAIs to explore implementation opportunities in critical areas such as organizational competency management, professional development, and strengthening ethics management systems. These implementation efforts are essential to ensure that the recommendations developed during the workshop lead to meaningful improvements within each institution.
As SAIs reflect on the insights gained during the workshop, they are poised to implement changes that will enhance the overall effectiveness and integrity of their human resource management practices. The commitment to transforming HR governance remains a top priority, ensuring each SAI can respond to the evolving needs of the auditing profession effectively.
Special acknowledgement is extended to the SAI of Djibouti for hosting this significant event as part of the TOGETHER Initiative. This collaborative effort underscores the collective commitment of participating institutions to drive positive change in HR governance throughout the region.
The implementation of the TOGETHER Initiative in the CREFIAF region benefits from the contributions of resource persons from the SAIs of Morocco, Cameroon, Senegal, and UEMOA, further enriching the collaborative experience and fostering a shared vision for improved HR governance in the region.
The initiative is funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
