My FellowshipMy Canadian placement:Office of the Auditor General (OAG) of Canada My Canadian audit team:I was part of a team auditing the Yukon Nominee Program and Yukon Business Nominee Program, led by Audit Director Jean-François Nadeau. My most valuable learning:
How my Canadian colleagues and mentors helped me:I appreciated how they gave me a good orientation in OAG Canada guidelines and principles and collaboration with other team members. They are humble and respectful people. What I enjoyed most:I enjoyed how they were always ready to help me with any questions or guidance regarding work, as well as social interactions like inviting me for coffee during break times and having discussions outside of work. My audit plan:Management of dropouts in public primary and secondary schoolsI developed my audit plan with the guidance of my mentor at OAG Canada, Principal Mathieu Lequain. The connection to my country’s development priorities:My project is to conduct a performance audit of dropouts management in public primary and secondary schools. Education is a critical investment in the future growth and development of Rwanda, as a country that is committed to being a knowledge-based economy. Minimizing dropouts will boost achievement of national goals to equip citizens with sufficient and appropriate competencies (skills, knowledge and attitudes) to drive the continued social and economic development of the country. Equally, the audit project will contribute to achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4, Target 4.1, that is to ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes by 2030. How CAAF and my host office helped:CAAF helped me to reinforce my skills in performance auditing, especially leadership skills, and to learn new methodologies and techniques for having a successful and impactful audit. My mentors gave me feedback and guidance that helped me develop a well-structured and logically organized plan. The skills and knowledge I improved by developing this plan:I learned the importance of:
My future impact:The new knowledge I’m most excited to share with my colleagues:I plan to share knowledge of the SAI Performance Measurement Framework (PMF) with my colleagues. That knowledge will help them to identify the value and benefits of the OAG office for citizens, which will show the strengths to continue with and weaknesses to improve to achieve greater well-being for citizens. The difference I hope to make:My future work will help the country to achieve the global goal of ensuring that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes, as well as applying Gender-Based Analysis Plus in policy design and implementation. My professional goals:My professional goals are to:
