The objective of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Revenue for Growth Activity (R4G) is to support the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) in its efforts to improve domestic resource mobilization (DRM), which can help to expand Zambia’s fiscal space for public spending and investments in service delivery and poverty reduction. R4G is engaging both government and non-government stakeholders in building capacity in tax policy analysis, improving tax compliance and administration, and strengthening tax culture in a manner that facilitates private sector growth and promotes effective relationships between taxpayers and the GRZ. The R4G is organized around four Objectives: 1) Improve Tax and Non-Tax Administration and Compliance; 2) Strengthen Tax Policy; 3) Enhance Public-Private Dialogue; and 4) Enhance Capacity to Address Emerging Fiscal Policy and Management Issues.
