The initiative strengthens the capacity of the Directorate General of Taxation and Lands to implement taxation policy and improve tax collection. The project aims to establish a Taxation Policy Unit and to modernize and adapt the Directorate's information management systems to increase and facilitate tax collection, to deliver more funding services for the poor. The initiative also seeks to train the Directorate's staff on the new procedures and to restructure positions and job descriptions in a way that is compatible with the new information management system.
