The Auditor General of South Africa, which is the current chair of SAi20 will be hosting the technical meeting of the G20 partners. This will be the first meeting out of series of meetings to be held ahead of the heads of supreme audit institutions (SAI) meeting in June.

Taking place from 5-6 February brings together directors of member (SAIs) for in-depth discussions on two critical themes for 2025:

• Unlocking and leveraging public infrastructure funding for equality, sustainable growth, and bringing improvement to the lives of citizens
• Collaborative and integrative efforts for a future-ready workforce – bridging the skills gap in sustainable economic growth

The meeting will be addressed by Head of SAI South Africa and Auditor General, Tsakani Maluleke and will take place virtually.

Technical meetings foster collaboration on how to assist governments to strengthen public finance management, enhance accountability, and ensure transparency in managing public resources.

Through these deliberations SAIs will align based on their shared insight and on best practices to reinforce their roles in shaping public policy and driving positive change in governance for economic growth.

The outcomes of this meeting will form the foundation of the SAi20 Communique, which will advance and support the G20 agenda.
