Contract Notice 2015/S 119-217886: Audit of the Kenya Health Sector Programme Support (HSPS III).

The Royal Danish Embassy has decided to perform rolling external audits of the Danida funds transferred to the Government of Kenya (GOK) health facilities at levels 2 and 3 through IFMIS for operation and maintenance costs as well as to the Counties for support supervision and facilitation of health accounting and auditing. The auditing will be coordinated by Kenya National Audit Office (KENAO) and in liaison with the Integrated Independent Fiduciary Review Agent (IIFRA) contracted by Ministry of Health and World Bank.
 The purpose of the audit is to confirm that HSPS III programme funds have been used for the intended purposes and in an efficient and economical manner in line with the financing covenants with between Danida and GOK financial regulations and guidelines.
