Auftragsänderung 1: 81305618-Renforcer la DGI sur la gestion des risques internes, l"exactitude des déclarations et la fiscalité sensible au genre

Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) and the European Union, the project "Support to the reform of public finances to achieve the SDGs and mobilize public revenues (ReFORME)" aims to implement budget cycles at national and communal levels in line with the principles of good financial governance. The Technical Cooperation project pursues a multi-level approach. Ministries will be strengthened in macroeconomic and budget planning, and in domestic revenue mobilization, to execute their budgets transparently and in line with the rules of the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Agenda 2030.

Up to 12 municipalities receive advice on how to plan and execute their budgets transparently, increase their revenues and use them to meet the needs of the population and the private sector. This contract relates to one of several Action Areas of the ReFORME project: Action Area 2 "Domestic Revenue Mobilization". The objective of the project in this Action Area is to improve the performance of tax administration at national and local levels.

The remaining Action Areas of the project focus on budget management, transparency and accountability, and public investment. The contractor will support the Directorate General of Taxation (Direction Générale des Impôts, DGI) of the Ministry of the Economy and of Finance in building the capacity of its executives in areas related to tax administration, such as effective management of internal risks (operational or human capital-related), accuracy of reporting in declarations, gender-sensitive tax policy, and international taxation with a high impact on improving the DGI's performance. These could include mastering the standards for the automated exchange of information, appropriating the tax challenges raised by the digitalisation of the economy, strengthening the mechanism for steering and managing tax audits, etc.
