Word from Host SAI

Charles Edward Kichere

Controller and Auditor General,
United Republic of Tanzania
Chair, AFROSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing

On behalf of the United Republic of Tanzania, it is a profound honor to chair the AFROSAI Working Group on Environmental Audits (WGEA). I extend my warmest welcome to all our member Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) . Your expertise is the cornerstone of our group’s strengths.

I also extend a special invitation to all SAIs in the AFROSAI region who have not yet joined us. This is a vital collaboration that offers unique opportunities for knowledge sharing, capacity building, and achieving greater collective impact on environmental accountability.

We stand at a critical juncture where environmental challenges, from climate change and biodiversity loss to water scarcity and pollution, transcend national borders. These are global issues demanding a united response, which underscores the essential role of the AFROSAI WGEA. We firmly believe the capacity of each member SAI is amplified exponentially when we share knowledge, best practices, and audit methodologies. You are the driving force behind our mission, and we are committed to providing a platform where your contributions are not just welcome but indispensable.
