Project Description
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.
Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved as of the end of the project (September 2020) include: (1) improved secured and effectively used the tax information system in the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI); (2) established the constitution of a functional fiscal policy unit within the DGI; (3) the digitization of approximately 250 000 land titles or 100% of the target of the Direction Nationale des Domaines; (4) strengthened the communication system between the DGI and taxpayers; (5) a 15% increase in the rate of taxpayer satisfaction with the quality of services provided by the DGI from 59% in 2014 to 68% in 2017; and (6) stabilized the tax pressure rate (total domestic revenue/GDP) from 14.3% in 2011 to 14.6% in 2019. All of these results contributed to improving Mali's mobilization of tax revenue.
