Domestic resource mobilization (DRM) is critical for fiscal independence and for financing the development of a country, particularly public spending and investment that are key for long run growth (education, health, infrastructures etc.).

DRM is not only about taxation and savings, but increasingly about how digital transformation can modernize fiscal systems, reduce leakages, and expand the tax base. Digitalization addresses structural bottlenecks—informality, weak compliance, and fragmented data systems (by introducing tools that make fiscal administration more efficient, transparent, and accessible).

Objectives:

The Experts Group Meeting aims to provide a platform for North African policymakers, practitioners, private sector representatives, and development partners to:
• Share national experiences on tax modernization through digital technologies and financial inclusion reforms.
• Examine how innovation, digitalization, and technology can enhance DRM in North Africa.
• Identify opportunities to leverage digital technologies for improved DRM.
• Discuss policy pathways to formalize informal activity.

Expected Outcomes:

• Enhanced understanding of the role of digital and technological innovations in strengthening DRM capacity across North Africa.
• Documentation of country experiences and innovations that can be adapted and scaled regionally.
• Actionable recommendations on improving tax administration through digital technologies.
• identification of priority areas for regional cooperation, capacity building, and international support.
