Operational Plan
IDI Operational Plan 2026
IDI’s Operational Plan for 2026 sets out the detailed plans and budgets for IDI’s Strategic Plan 2024-29. The plan seeks to provide SAIs with more stable and predictable support, contributing to three strategic priorities: sustainability, digitalisation, and public trust in SAIs. It includes a gender and inclusion lens and a comprehensive results framework, which sets targets based on measures of changes in SAI performance following IDI support.
The Operational Plan begins the implementation of the new IDI Strategic Plan, with extensive input from the SAI community and partners. Its sets out how IDI’s work streams – independent, well-governed, professional and relevant SAIs, bilateral support and global foundations – work together for sustainability, digitalisation and public trust in SAIs, and how this contributes to IDI’s vision of independent, credible and sustainable SAIs.

Budgets
Each November, the IDI Board approves annual budgets for implementation of the Operational Plan for the following year. These show projected funding sources and planned expenditures for the different IDI Strategic Priorities. Budgets are reviewed and where necessary updated during the year, especially when there are major changes to funding sources and planned expenditures.
