The role of Civil Society Groups in Tracking Taxes at the Federal, State and
Local Government levels; Contd.
A first step for concerned CSOs is to determine what types of revenue reports are
publicly available
Where access to revenue reports is limited, work towards the adoption of right to
information legislation including access to public financial information.
Partner and build coalitions with sympathetic government officials, concerned
NGOs, relevant international bodies and the media to encourage revenue
transparency/reporting.
Find out and discuss how the government itself views its revenue base and what
plans or strategies it has in place regarding taxes, revenues from natural resources,
loans, grants, etc.
If possible, take a deeper look at each slice of the revenue pie. Consider how
important, effective and reliable each one is as a revenue source in terms of their
sustainability and equitability.View entire presentation
