About AFROSAI-E

AFROSAI-E brings together SAIs from across Sub-Saharan Africa. With a shared commitment to improving governance, accountability, and transparency, AFROSAI-E provides a platform for collaboration, innovation, and peer learning. Its members face a variety of challenges—from limited resources to evolving mandates—but are united by a mission to strengthen public sector auditing and national development.
