The Ghana Tax Revenue for Economic Enhancement (TREE) project focuses on local revenue collection in 33 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in de Ashanti Region, Central Region and Western Region. Ghanaian legislation empowers MMDAs to collect revenues from a range of sources to complement central government transfers.
The project started the 1st of November 2017 and will run until the 31st of December 2022. This is a project that we do together with VNG International. VNG International are experts in strengthening democratic local government in developing countries and countries in transition.
The project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands
The project aims to implement a sustainable process for generating revenue collection by enabling process refinement, accountability, ratepayer communications, cashless payment supported by IT solutions, and capacity development. Implementation of the project will result in increased revenues collected by MMDAs which will allow MMDAs to fund local service delivery and further revenue mobilization improvement.
According to the VNG International: “Implementation of the taxMan solution, a tested software solution, which supports the end-to-end (primary) process of a MMDA, plays a key role in the implementation of the change process.”
