Resource mobilization at the municipal level

Despite numerous opportunities presented to devolved governments, few revenue streams make up over 75% of Own Source Revenue (OSR). The weak performance of counties in raising their own revenue is a result of numerous factors chief among them being: lack of a legal and policy framework, poorly maintained tax and rate payers’ database, outdated property valuation rolls, weak and ineffective enforcement frameworks, high cost of (manual) revenue collection, multiple revenue systems, limited technical capacity in revenue administration, multiple business licenses, limited knowledge of national policy on revenue enhancement and unrealistic revenue forecasts among others.

1. Technical Assistance (TA) in automation of revenue planning, collection and administration
