Executive summary

Achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and implementing the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 require mobilising additional finance, in particular domestic resources, to fund public goods and services. This report presents internationally comparable indicators on tax and non‑tax revenues that can be used to track progress on domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) and to inform tax policy analysis and future reform. Additionally, it provides an important backdrop in understanding the fiscal capacity of the African region to respond to the COVI D‑19 crisis. The report and its data also contribute to the implementation of the Pan‑A frican Statistics Programme, a joint effort between the European Union and the African Union to support statistical capacity in Africa.
