The Netherlands Court of Audit uses its knowledge and expertise to support the cooperation carried out by the Dutch Ministry of Finance through the Constituency Programme. The Constituency Programme promotes technical cooperation with countries that the Netherlands represents on the boards of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The programme aims to support public finance reforms in the Constituency countries.
Why do we work with Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in Eastern Europe and the Balkans?
The aim of the programme is to provide technical assistance to support and strengthen SAIs in the Constituency countries. Like our other capacity-building programmes, the Constituency Programme is demand-driven.
The activities carried out under the programme are funded by the Dutch Ministry of Finance.
Cooperation framework
Within the current Constituency Programme, we cooperate in a regional setting with the SAIs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania and Ukraine. In addition, we cooperate on a bilateral basis with the SAIs of Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania and Ukraine. The cooperation is demand-driven and focuses on a number of themes, including digitalisation and AI, quality management, integrity and policy research. While regional cooperation focuses on exchange and learning from each other's experiences within the region, bilateral cooperation focuses on tailored support and exchange with the relevant partner SAI.
