Successful graduation from the IDI’s SAI Young Leader (SYL) Initiative

Another annual round of SYL Initiative was finalized in December 2020, 21 participants from 17 countries successfully completed their education.

The main goal of SYL Initiative is to support SAIs in sustainably enhancing capacities and performance with the help of qualified SAI leadership, driving positive change.

Throughout the initiative in 2019-2020, the SAI Young Leaders focused on their own capacity building, as well as on enhancing their SAI strategies. Each participant developed an integrated change plan that included a coaching plan, an exposure plan and a ‘Me’ plan, in addition to the change strategy they implemented in their SAIs.

SYLs implemented change strategies in the following areas: Effective communication and stakeholder engagement; High Impact SAI Audits; Enhanced SAI Performance and Capacity; Leverage on Technological Advancement and Strategy for Reporting on the Implementation Status of Audit Recommendations.

IDI will offer the initiative again in 2021-2022. More information and registration are available on IDI website.
