AFROSAI Holds Its 63rd Governing Board Meeting in N’Djamena and Celebrates Fifty Years of Cooperation in Support of African Supreme Audit Institutions

N’Djamena, Chad, 4–5 November 2026 – The African Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (AFROSAI) held its 63rd Governing Board Meeting in N’Djamena, the capital of the Republic of Chad, against the backdrop of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of its establishment.

Organized in partnership between the Court of Accounts of the Republic of Chad, as the host institution, and the Court of Accounts of the Kingdom of Morocco, in its capacity as AFROSAI General Secretariat, the meeting brought together members of the Governing Board to discuss several institutional, organizational and strategic issues relating to the future of the Organization and the strengthening of African Supreme Audit Institutions.

On this occasion, the Secretary General of AFROSAI, Mrs. Zineb El Adaoui, First President of the Court of Accounts of the Kingdom of Morocco, reaffirmed the importance of the collective commitment of member Supreme Audit Institutions to ensuring the continuity of the Organization's operations, safeguarding its credibility and consolidating its role within the African and international community of audit institutions.

In her address, the Secretary General emphasized that the regular holding of statutory meetings constitutes a fundamental pillar of transparency, accountability and the obligation to report on the use of public resources. She also stressed the need to promote institutional exemplarity through active and regular participation in the Organization's activities, compliance with statutory obligations and the effective implementation of collectively adopted decisions.

This session is of particular importance as it takes place one year before the end of AFROSAI's 2022–2027 Strategic Plan and coincides with the celebration of the Organization's fifty years of existence. It therefore provides a valuable opportunity to take stock of achievements, assess ongoing challenges and define AFROSAI's future development prospects.

The plenary sessions of the Governing Board were devoted to examining several strategic matters, particularly the mid-term evaluation of the implementation of the 2022–2027 Strategic Plan and the launch of the process to develop the Organization's next strategic framework for the forthcoming period, starting in 2028.

Members also reviewed the draft communication strategy prepared by the General Secretariat in consultation with the relevant partners. This strategy aims to enhance AFROSAI's visibility, showcase the achievements of its members and raise greater awareness among citizens and decision-makers of the essential role played by Supreme Audit Institutions in promoting transparency, good governance and accountability in public financial management.
