Rabat – Morocco has officially become the host country for the permanent headquarters of the African Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (AFROSAI).
The agreement was signed today in Rabat by Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita and Zineb El Adaoui, First President of the Court of Accounts.
The move is a significant step towards enhancing continental cooperation in public financial oversight.
In a statement, the Moroccan Foreign Ministry said the move “reflects Morocco’s firm commitment to strengthening South-South cooperation,” in line with King Mohammed VI’s vision.
By hosting this institution, Morocco is set to strengthen its role as a hub for African collaboration, good governance, and transparency in public finance.
AFROSAI is a regional organization that brings together the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) of African countries. Its mission is to promote the exchange of knowledge, capacity building, and cooperation among audit institutions across the continent.
It has an important role in improving financial accountability and ensuring efficient use of public resources in African states.
The permanent headquarters will be established in Morocco, with the Court of Accounts serving as the General Secretariat of AFROSAI. This reflects the recognition of the Moroccan institution’s expertise and longstanding involvement in continental audit initiatives.
Morocco has continuously noted the importance of institutional collaboration in strengthening the values of transparency, public financial management, and development in Africa. The new headquarters is expected to facilitate more structured and sustainable cooperation among member institutions.
