Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM) for Sustainable Development in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Contribution of IDA-20

October 1, 2024

The twentieth instalment of the International Development Association (IDA-20) is a $93 billion three-year cycle for the period 2022-2025
that aims to support the world’s poorest countries’ recovery from COVID-19 by focusing on their sustainable development goals. DRM is
a key feature of the governance and institutions component of IDA-20.

DRM has been a focus of IDA action since the adoption of Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) ratings in 1980. DRM is one
of the 16 CPIA criteria, under the public sector management and institutions cluster, that determine the allocation of IDA resources and
is used to evaluate the performance of IDA action. It is estimated that some 32 IDA countries received support for various aspects of DRM
between 2005 and 2019 (IDA 17 and 18) through one or in combination of development policy operations (DPO), investment projects, or
the IFC’s advisory services on business taxation. IDA 20 continues the institutionalisation of policy commitments aimed at supporting
DRM and broader Governance and Institutions.
