aims to implement national and municipal budget cycles in accordance with the principles of good fiscal governance.
Approach:
The project supports the reform of public finances at the national and municipal levels in four key areas:
Inclusive, efficient, and realistic budgets: Training and professional development for administrative staff improve economic forecasting and tax revenue estimation. Digital solutions, such as the national information system for managing public finances, also optimize the budget preparation process.
Taxation as a shared civic duty: The project advises the tax administration on improving the state's self-financing. This includes implementing digital solutions, promoting taxpayer morale through public awareness campaigns, combating international tax evasion, and supporting green and gender-sensitive tax legislation.
Transparency in public funds: The project supports dialogue between the national government, municipalities, and civil society to ensure transparent budget planning and accounting. It takes disadvantaged groups into account. In addition, it supports the Court of Auditors in auditing financial statements and publishing audit findings.
Investing in the future: Expertise in cost-benefit analysis and public-private dialogue enables better
