The project aims to help to make the Government of Mali less financially dependent on foreign aid by building the revenue mobilization capacity of two government tax administrations: the Directorate General of Taxation (DGI) and the National Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (DNDC). This will enable Mali to make progress in terms of increased revenue, tax fairness, and transparency in tax management. The project is based on Canadian technical assistance and favours an approach that includes four means of intervention: training, strategic design, internal communication, and equipment. In Phase I of this project (1997–2005), the Directorate General of Taxation was able to increase its tax revenue by about 11% annually. Phase II also seeks to better contribute to funding decentralization in Mali. A portion of tax revenue is transferred to local communities and helps to support local elected representatives and communities in bringing about their own development.
