Tasks might include:

  • Assessments of countrywide tax structure or individual tax reviews;
  • Recommendations for modernizing tax or customs administration;
  • Public expenditure/budget reviews;
  • Assessments of public sector financial management systems;
  • Analysis of a strategy for fiscal decentralization;
  • Distillation of best practices in civil service design; and
  • Training in areas related to fiscal reform and economic governance.
