Amidst rapid urbanisation, cities in the Global South face major revenue needs in order to meet urgent spending priorities and to build the foundation for stronger local social contracts. Yet in practice, local government revenue raising efforts – and property taxes in particular – are frequently ineffective, inequitable and unaccountable.
The Local Government Revenue Initiative (LoGRI) aims to develop policy relevant research, knowledge, expertise, and tools to support governments to raise more local government revenue, more equitably and fairly, and in ways that promote trust, transparency, and accountability.
The LoGRI program is based at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto and expands the previous work of the African Property Tax Initiative (APTI). It is supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the French Ministry of Economics, Finance and Recovery, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and German Development Cooperation implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
This library is intended to be of use to LoGRI stakeholders, with resources on the Initiative’s key themes.
