Enhancing Domestic Resource Mobilization
04 December 2024
The Asia Pacific Tax Hub, in collaboration with Development Partners, Multilateral Financial Institutions, and other ADB Regional Departments is working to strengthen Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) and International Tax Cooperation (ITC) thereby supporting development member countries’ (DMCs) efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). APTH provides an open, inclusive, and pan-regional tax platform for strategic policy dialogues, institutional and capacity development, and exchange of information and ideas through a dialogue among ADB's DMCs; knowledge sharing with partners, international finance institutions, bilateral revenue organizations, and DMCs in Asia and the Pacific; and collaboration and development coordination among development partners.
