Togo - Resource Mobilization and Institutional Capacity Building Support Project (PAMOCI)

Resource Mobilization and Institutional Capacity Building Support Project (PAMOCI) seeks, firstly, to build the technical and human capacity of the tax and customs administration and the EITI-Togo Technical Secretariat in order to increase domestic revenue in a sustainable manner and strengthen transparency in extractive industries. Secondly, it seeks to improve public expenditure efficiency by transposing WAEMU Guidelines on Public Finance Management (PFM) and to build the institutional capacity of actors involved in the budgetary process. Lastly, the project will foster the intensification of results-based management and the implementation of gender- and youth employment-sensitive budgeting. The project comprises three components, namely: (i) Improving Public Revenue Mobilization; (ii) Strengthening the Efficiency of Public Expenditure; and (iii) Project Management. The expected outcomes are: (i) an increase in tax revenue, from 16.9% of GDP in 2013 to 17% in 2015 and 20% in 2018; (ii) an increase in the share of mining revenue in total public revenue, from 4.8% of GDP in 2011 to 6% in 2015 and 6.5% in 2018; (iii) improvement in PEFA PI-12 indicator of a multi-year perspective in budgeting and public expenditure policies, from D in PEFA 2009 to C in PEFA 2015 and B in PEFA2018; and (iv) an increase in the number of young volunteers mobilized each year, from 1 500 in 2012 to 2 000 in 2015 and 2 500 in 2018.
