The EEA provided training for data collectors on data collection instruments for research in the Amhara region on Domestic Resource Mobilization Potential of the Amhara region. The main objective of the study is to assess the domestic resource mobilization potential of the region (tax and non-tax revenues), identify the tax bases, and assess the tax administration capacity of the Amhara national regional state. The study is part of a collaborative project titled ‘Technical assistance for UNICEF on public finance analysis of child-focused budget utilization and social sectors’ between the EEA and UNICEF Ethiopia. The outcome of the study will help the regional government and its partners for designing effective and efficient resource mobilization strategies that help to address the adequacy, equity, and sustainability of public investments in the region.A total of 21 participants gathered from universities across the region attended the training.
