SUPPORT FOR THE MOBILIZATION OF INTERNAL RESOURCES (PAMORI II)APPUI A LA MOBILISATION DES RESSOURCES INTERNES (PAMORI II)

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. Le but du projet est de contribuer a reduire la dependance financiere du gouvernement du Mali par rapport a l'aide exterieure en renforcant les capacites de mobilisation de recettes de deux administrations fiscales de l'Etat la Direction generale des impots (DGI) et la Direction nationale des domaines et du cadastre (DNDC). Il s'agit pour le Mali de progresser a la fois en termes d'augmentation des recettes d'equite fiscale et de transparence dans la gestion des impots.Le projet s'appuie sur une assistance technique canadienne et privilegie une approche integrant quatre modes d'intervention la formation la conception strategique la communication interne et l'equipement.La phase I de ce projet avait permis entre 1997 et 2005 a la Direction generale des impots d'augmenter les rentrees fiscales d'environ 11 % par annee.La phase II vise egalement a mieux contribuer au financement de la decentralisation au Mali. En effet une partie des recettes fiscales est transferee aux collectivites locales et contribue a soutenir les elus locaux et les populations pour conduire leur propre developpement.Gender equality was integrated into all project activities with an emphasis on outputs concerning 1) structural organizational and cultural changes within the two administrations 2) tax procedures and 3) services to taxpayers and users. Also with the support of PAMORI the Mali Tax Women's Collective was created at the General Tax Directorate.
