[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for the Domestic Resource Mobilization for Sustainable Development (DRM): Fiscal Policy Advisor

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people's living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

 

Indonesia faces major challenges in mobilising domestic resources for its continued sustainable development. Despite steady economic growth averaging 5.6%, the average rate of taxation over the last five years has been extremely low compared to other countries, at just 11%. Overall, the conditions in place for financing the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda in the areas of fiscal policy and tax administration are insufficient. Based on this scenario, the Indonesian and German Governments have agreed to collaborate in the framework of the project 'Domestic Resource Mobilization for Sustainable Development' (DRM) in order to address some of the described challenges in the spirit of the global development partnership between the two countries.

 

The objective of this Indonesian-German project DRM is as follows: The conditions for financing the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda in the areas of fiscal policy and tax administration have improved.

 

The project operates at the national level and focuses on four fields of activity:

  1. the capacities of the Indonesian Fiscal Policy Agency, FPA (or Badan Kebijakan Fiskal, BKF) to draft tax legislation and to assess the impacts thereof are strengthened in line with the 2030 Agenda;
  2. the capacities of FPA/BKF to develop and evaluate subsidy and fiscal incentive programmes are strengthened in line with the 2030 Agenda.
  3. the necessary conditions to improve the validity of the tax register are created by Directorate General of Tax (or Direktorat Jenderal Pajak, DJP), and
  4. the capacities of the tax authorities (DJP) to improve tax compliance are strengthened.

 

The German contribution to DRM is up to 9.500.000 EUR and the timespan to achieve the jointly defined objective and outputs is four years. The project was supposed was launched in May 2019.
