Regional Forum for Capacity Development
During the Governing Board meeting at XXI INCOSAI in Beijing, towards the end of 2013, the INTOSAI Capacity Building Committee (CBC) was specifically tasked to put specific emphasis “on INTOSAI regions and interregional cooperations” (the INTOSAI regions are automatically members of the CBC Steering Committee). For the CBC it was only logical that this emphasis on well-functioning and professional INTOSAI regional organisations should form part of the theme on professionalization proposed for XXII INCOSAI in Abu Dhabi in 2016. This view was quickly confirmed in discussion with the chair of the theme, SAI New Zealand as well as the organisers of XXII INCOSAI early in 2015, and confirmed in follow-up discussions with both the IDI and the INTOSAI Donor Secretariat. With this in mind, the first meeting of the Regional Forum for Capacity Development (RFCD) – a new work-stream of the CBC dedicated to engagements with regional- and sub-regional organisations – spent part of its agenda on the topic of “regional strength”. Please read more in the Framework of the RFCD.
You can find the regional contact information under INTOSAI Regions.
