Fiscal policies for equity in LAC

implementation

The general objective of this technical cooperation is to improve fiscal equity by developing new tools and methodologies which will improve the institutional capacity of ministries of finance to manage equity. The specific objectives are to use empirical evidence to: (i) measure the impact of fiscal equity in various fiscal interventions; (ii) design policies conducive of redistribution through taxation, better spending targeting and prioritization, gender equity, and human capital opportunities; and reduce poverty and informality; and (iii) manage equity transversally through the various levels of government using fiscal tools.
