PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Benin's economy has grown in recent years. Despite this positive development, large parts of the population live close to the poverty line. The achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is hampered by a lack of financial resources in the national and municipal budgets.
Objective
Benin implements national and municipal budget cycles in accordance with the principles of good financial governance.
Approach
The project supports the reform of public finances in the state and municipalities in four key areas:
Inclusive, efficient, and realistic budgets: Training and further education for administrative staff improves economic forecasting and tax estimation. In addition, digital solutions, such as the national information system for public finance management, optimize the budget preparation process.
Taxation as a shared civic duty: The project advises the tax administration on improving the state's self-financing. In doing so, it introduces digital solutions, promotes taxpayer morale by raising public awareness, combats international tax evasion, and supports green and gender-sensitive tax legislation.
Transparency for public funds: The project supports dialogue between the state, municipalities, and civil society for transparent budget planning and accounting. It takes disadvantaged groups into account. It also supports the Court of Auditors in auditing financial statements and publishing audit results.
Investments in the future: With expertise in cost
