Terms of Reference (TOR) for Evaluating a Project to Improve The Capacity of Supreme Audit Institutions in Auditing Public Health Programs Funded by Global Fund and Gavi-Funded in 7 African Countries

AIDSPAN, (www.aidspan.org), is implementing the third phase of a project titled 'Enhancing
the capacity of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) to perform finance, compliance, and
programmatic audit of Global Health Initiatives (GHIs) supported programs.' The project
aims to enhance the capacity of seven SAIs in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),
Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The goal is to improve
the knowledge and practices of SAIs to increase accountability of government-managed
programs supported by the Global Fund and GAVI, consequently improving the performance
of programs. The capacity-strengthening initiatives also included internal auditors of state
recipients of Global Fund and Gavi grants.
The project’s first phase occurred between 2018 and 2020, when Aidspan trained eight subSaharan African SAIs to conduct financial and programmatic audits of Global Fund grants.
These SAIs were from Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone,
and Togo. The initiative was scaled up in the second phase in 2021 to train five additional
SAIs from Ethiopia, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, and South Africa. In addition, SAIs of Kenya
and Malawi were retrained.
