Intosai-Donor Cooperation

The INTOSAI-Donor Cooperation (Cooperation) is a strategic partnership between the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) and 23 development partners to scale up and strengthen support to Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in developing countries. The Cooperation is unique in bringing together partners who share a common goal of enhancing accountability, public financial management, transparency, and good governance through strengthening SAIs. The Cooperation provides a global forum to inform and strengthen stakeholders' policies and priorities for working with SAIs. It also seeks to influence behaviours to ensure that the objectives of the INTOSAI-Donor MoU from 2009 are achieved; i.e. that support to SAIs is country-led, that additional resources are mobilized in support of SAI strategic plans, and all forms of support are provided in a harmonized and coordinated manner. By working together in a coordinated approach, the Cooperation increases efficiency and impact on the ground and avoids gaps and overlaps. The INTOSAI-Donor Steering Committee is jointly chaired by one INTOSAI and one donor representative. Currently, the SAI of Saudi Arabia and the World Bank hold the positions as joint chairs, while the vice chair positions are held by the SAI of the United States and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID). The Cooperation is supported by a Secretariat, hosted by the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) in Oslo, Norway. For further information, please contact intosai.donor.secretariat@idi.no.
