The CBC Peer‑to‑Peer workstream held its latest workshop in late October 2025 and wants to share the recording with you. The recording is available on YouTube here: Using SAI PMF to help focus peer to peer support. We invited IDI along for an informal and insightful dive into how SAIs can use the SAI PMF tool to help support peer to peer work.
As always, the P2P community thrives on sharing experience and knowledge, and this session really showcased that. Building on the momentum from our earlier deep‑dive events, where we explored how to draw on IDI’s support and tools. We revisited what IDI offers and why it’s such a valued partner across the community, very much in the spirit of the masterclass-style sessions we’ve run before, designed for both newcomers and old hands in peer‑to‑peer cooperation.
The webinar focused on how the SAI Performance Measurement Framework (SAI PMF) can be used to enhance peer-to-peer support among Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs). I was lucky enough to introduce the session, emphasising the value of targeted, evidence-based support and the potential role of SAI PMF in identifying strengths and gaps within SAIs.
Irina Sprenglewski from IDI provided an overview of SAI PMF, highlighting its global uptake (over 120 reports completed) and its use in informing strategic planning and capacity development. She noted that SAI PMF helps create a common language for performance assessment and supports building trust and credibility with stakeholders.
Ingvild Gulbrandsen from SAI Norway shared practical experiences using SAI PMF in Norway, Myanmar, and Indonesia where it was used to establish baselines, guide development, and monitor progress, even under challenging circumstances.
The discussion covered the differences between SAI PMF assessments and peer reviews, the flexibility of using full or partial assessments, and the importance of tailoring the approach to the size and needs of each SAI. The upcoming revision of the SAI PMF framework was also announced, aligning it with updated international standards and enhancing its relevance for ICT governance and risk management.
Participants raised questions about adapting SAI PMF for smaller SAIs, time and resource requirements, and the value of SAI PMF as a baseline for measuring project impact, especially for donors and partners. Practical tips for efficient assessments and the benefits of hybrid peer/self-assessment teams were discussed.
The meeting concluded with encouragement to use SAI PMF as a foundation for focused, coordinated peer-to-peer support and an invitation to reach out for further guidance or collaboration.
Look out for more knowledge sharing.
