Environment & Sustainability Webinar 1 of 2024

Our first Environmental and Sustainability Webinar of 2024 took place on 29 February 2024 with a presentation on the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) work on fragmentation, overlap, and duplication in federal programmes.
Government organisations working and reporting in silos have been an issue discussed pre the signing and operationalisation of the SDGs. As a result, the SDGs seek to achieve a government system that acknowledges work done by various arms of government without entertaining duplications, fragmentations, gaps and overlaps.
The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has developed a tool that helps auditors assess and evaluate these challenges of duplication, fragmentation, overlaps and gaps in government operations. This would help auditors make sound recommendations on how governments can operate with due consideration for economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
Guest Presenters: Susan Murphy and Patricia Powell from the US Government Accountability Office, USA
Session Facilitator: Richard Pappoe, Environment and Sustainability Assurance Manager, AFROSAI-E
