Technical Assistance to Key Stakeholders in EU-CAR Cooperation in the Central African Republic

Location: Bangui

The overall objective of this mission is to establish, through multi-stakeholder strategic dialogue, a transparent, coherent, and effective framework for managing tax and customs exemptions in the Central African Republic. This framework aims to reduce abuses and revenue losses, strengthen domestic resource mobilization, and reconcile the State's international commitments with the requirements of budgetary sovereignty, tax fairness, and good governance.

A workshop will be organized as part of this project. The workshop will be structured around two complementary committees, each with two specific objectives: to identify and assess abusive practices related to tax and customs exemptions, and to formulate the reforms and corrective measures necessary to improve their governance in the Central African Republic.

Committee 1: Identification and Assessment of Abusive Practices

Committee 2: Formulation of Reforms and Corrective Measures
