Local Government Revenue Initiative

Cities in the Global South need significant revenue to build infrastructure and provide local services. However, efforts to collect taxes, particularly on property, are often ineffective and inequitable. LoGRI supports governments to raise local revenue more fairly and in ways that promote trust, transparency and accountability. We do this by: - Partnering with governments to provide hands-on support and advice - Conducting collaborative, applied research to inform reform projects - Developing operational tools, including technology solutions - Delivering skills training to develop local capacity We also seek to share insights and shape policy by engaging with regional and international stakeholders on local public finance issues. LoGRI is based at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and is an initiative of the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD).
