Training on Revenue and Tax Collection for Local Governments
Course Overview
Sustainable service delivery at county and municipal levels depends on strong revenue mobilization and efficient tax collection systems. Weak enforcement, manual processes, and limited accountability often result in revenue leakages and reduced financial capacity for local governments. Strengthening revenue administration is essential for improving infrastructure, public services, and financial sustainability.
This 5-day course equips participants with practical tools to enhance local government revenue and tax collection systems. Training covers identification and management of revenue sources, tax administration procedures, compliance enforcement strategies, digital revenue collection platforms, financial controls, audit mechanisms, and performance monitoring. Participants will also explore best practices for reducing leakages and increasing taxpayer compliance.
Through real-world case studies, scenario-based exercises, and applied discussions, participants will develop the ability to design effective revenue mobilization strategies, implement transparent tax collection systems, and strengthen accountability frameworks. By the end of the program, participants will be able to improve revenue performance, enhance compliance, and support sustainable local development.
