Background |
|
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the knowledge frontier organization for collective action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP’s policy and programme work carried out at HQ, Regional and Country Office (CO) levels, forms a contiguous spectrum of deep, local knowledge, cutting-edge global perspectives and advocacy. Within this context, UNDP invests in a network of field-based and global technical expertise across a wide range of knowledge domains and in support of the signature solutions and organizational capabilities envisioned in the UNDP’s Strategic Plan. The UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative is managed by the Sustainable Finance Hub (SFH), with resource persons embedded in the SDG Finance Teams in Amman, Bangkok, Istanbul, Panama, and Pretoria. The UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative places particular emphasis on linking tax administrations, tax and fiscal policies with the broader SDGs. Building on UNDP Country Office portfolios and already existing engagements with Ministries, the UNDP is bringing a stronger focus on the role of tax and fiscal policy in achieving the Agenda 2030. The Initiative focuses on reducing gender and social inequalities in tax and fiscal policy as well as taking forward climate action and environmental goals, and health outcomes. The UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative works with national tax administrations, ministries of finance, auxiliary institutions and stakeholders to strengthen their capacities in thematic areas, functional topics and cross-cutting issues, particularly emphasizing the tax and SDGs lens and the importance of data for policy making as well as tax administration. Representing the views of developing countries in the global normative tax discussions is critical. The UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative supports developing countries to generate evidence and perspectives from their contexts to contribute to regional and international discussions on taxation. To address the growing demand from developing countries for support to strengthen their tax systems and include a tax for SDGs lens in public finance management, the UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative is augmenting the Roster of Tax for SDGs Experts. This roster is part of the SDG Finance Roster and will be established within the Global Policy Network Experts Roster for Rapid Response (GPN ExpRes Roster), a recruitment and deployment mechanism that maintains pre-vetted consultants on a roster and offers the ability to contract them quickly for support.
