Project activities
Two representatives of NCA will visit NAOT from 17-19 November and have meetings with relevant stakeholders to assess needs and feasibility of a training programme. The visit will be a joint activity of the SAIs of Norway and the Netherlands.
Based on the information collected NCA can make a recommendation to RVO.nl on the feasibility of a capacity building programme with NAOT. Moreover, a project implementation plan will be developed and discussed with NAOT during and after the mission.
In the same week the budget committee from the Parliament in Tanzania pays a visit to the Netherlands ‘tweede kamer’. Extractives, specifically oil and gas, is a very important subject for the budget committee. They will receive information about the system in the Netherlands, for instance from the Netherlands energy envoy. Within the framework of this project, the delegation will also be invited to the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA).
