11. VCS Example 1/2 MR DAVID SAFFA, PAC CLERK, SIERRA LEONE - WAPAC REALIZED VALUE APPLIED VALUE POTENTIAL VALUE IMMEDIATE VALUE Based on the knowledge gained from various WAAPAC meetings (especially after the 2011 training in Togo) I decided to develop a training manual for new PAC members (two hour session induction program). In 2012, after the parliamentary elections there was a high turnover of the PAC members (seven out of nine were new). I conducted an induction program for them. After my session, the new MPs came to my office to congratulate me on the training which gave them an overview of their new roles and responsibilities.

12. VCS Example 2/2 MR ALBIUS MTONGA, PAC CLERK, NAMIBIA - SADCOPAC REALIZED VALUE APPLIED VALUE POTENTIAL VALUE IMMEDIATE VALUE I found the Clerk Training held in Kampala, Uganda/ 2013 about report writing very useful. I understood the value of writing good reports. Our own PAC reports were very long (up to 110 pages) and contained a lot of unnecessary information. Since then … the reports written by us clerks have been 30 pages long and the content has been simplified. TBD

13. Collecting VCS - Outcomes Members indicated improvement in the following areas:  Developing partnerships with relevant accountability stakeholders  PAC Operations  Performance Audits  Enhancement of the PAC recommendations follow up procedure  Public hearings  SAI Independence, and other
