The Dynamics of Reform and Inter-institutional Collaboration in Senegal

This project examines the dynamics of property tax reforms in Senegal through three distinct lenses: (1) the effectiveness of property identification and registration strategies and reforms, (2) the political economy of the reform, with an assessment of the political will and commitment to advance reforms and (3) the dynamics of collaboration between the actors involved in property tax administration as well as the impact of collaboration on property taxation. Data – interviews and documents – were collected during field research in Senegal to support the different research outputs. To the extent that strategies for reform resonate with experiences in other African countries where LoGRI is actively engaged, the data collected in Senegal is leveraged to produce comparative research outputs, fostering a broader understanding of reform strategies in lower income countries.
