Past Projects

With around 150 staff and limited, unpredictable domestic funding, NAC required external support to implement its priorities effectively. To this end, the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI), the Office of the Auditor General of Kenya, and AFROSAI-E partnered with NAC under a Cooperation Agreement signed in 2019, supported by funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Embassy in Juba. The NOK 20 million project (2020–2024) focused on strengthening NAC’s capacity in core audits, legal and governance frameworks, ICT systems, HR management, professional development, and stakeholder engagement to enable full implementation of its Strategic Plan.
Key components of support

Component 2: Strengthening NAC Independence
This component supported efforts to reinforce NAC’s legal framework and independence. It involved technical guidance on revising the Audit Act and enhancing institutional safeguards that promote the autonomy and authority of the National Audit Chamber within South Sudan’s governance architecture.
Component 3: Enhancing the impact and quality of audit services
This component aimed to modernize NAC’s audit systems and methodologies in line with international standards. It promoted digitalization, standardized audit practices, and improved planning and review mechanisms to ensure consistency, efficiency, and ISSAI compliance in audit execution.
Component 4: Strengthen internal governance systems and structures
Support under this component targeted stronger institutional governance and strategic management. It emphasised operational planning, performance monitoring, and ICT-driven systems to enhance coordination, internal reporting, and the overall management of audit operations.
Component 5: Human Resource Development and Professionalisation
This component focused on building NAC’s human capital and professional capacity. It promoted structured training, professional certification, and performance management systems to strengthen the competence, integrity, and motivation of audit staff.
Component 6: Stakeholder Engagement and Communication
