Mr. William Carlos:

In terms of learning and talking about institutions, the national audit office in Uganda has learned a lot. It is connected through an organisation of supreme audit institutions in Africa which are all talking to each other about this issue also. There is broader learning in national audit offices about the key element of making sure the full system is safe. It is an improvement that what is happening in Uganda is also happening in other countries. As a result of the work we are doing, other donors are doing work in national audit offices across Africa.
