Examples of our Past Programmes

Africa-UK Public Accounts Committee Workshop 2018, Nairobi

CPA UK organised an Africa-UK Public Accounts Committee workshop in Nairobi between 29 August and 1 September, 2018.

The workshop aimed to enable Public Accounts Committees to fulfil their remit to scrutinise the value for money of public spending, to hold their governments to account for the delivery of public services, and to strengthen regional collaboration and seek opportunities for coordination.

The workshop was also an opportunity for participants to develop their technical skills and improve capacity through interactive exercises, and knowledge and experience sharing. Around 45 delegates participated from 11 African countries.
