Background
The purpose of this tender (RFP) is to source an auditor/ audit firm to deliver an in-person audit of our member association in Sudan, the Sudan Family Planning Association (SFPA).
We are specifically looking for regionally based auditors with experience of working in Sudan, who are familiar with the context, and able and willing to travel to Khartoum to complete the assignment in person.
The Sudan Family Planning Association (SFPA), who will be the organization audited, was established in 1965 by pioneers in obstetrics and gynaecology in response to increases in maternal, neonatal and infant mortality and morbidity. As the statistics show, Sudan is a country in great need of frontline sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. Advocacy, and undertaking information, education and communication (IEC) programmes are critical.
SFPA is one of the leading organizations in Sudan providing a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services. A rights-based organisation, SFPA is part of the global movement of strong voices safeguarding SRHR issues. SFPA is pioneer in providing youth friendly services and educational reproductive health information for young people.
