The MRIP Plateform

Domestic Resource Mobilization is the capacity of States to raise revenue, mainly through taxation, and use it to finance their growth. It is the biggest source of development finance in Africa, and is much larger than official development assistance.

French official development assistance is becoming more involved in the mobilization of domestic resources in the framework of the new inter-ministry coordination between the French Ministries of Economics & Finance and Europe & Foreign Affairs.

The implementation of this strategy requires the implementation of a strategic investment plan for development. This multi-year plan will provide 60 million euros for strengthening initiatives to mobilize domestic resources.

This collaborative platform was created at the initiative of the French Ministries of Economy & Finance and Europe & Foreign Affairs. 

The platform consists of a network of actors, and it offers the possibility of acting in coordination, and having a better understanding of French interventions.

Its main missions are:

• Coordinate the actions of the various actors 
• Develop the link between the civil service and research to consolidate France's offer of expertise on the international scene. 
• Monitor the Strategic Development Investment Plan 2020-2022 and draw conclusions about the effectiveness of French interventions
• Train French stakeholders by inter-ministry seminars
• Involve civil society in the thinking about support for the MRIP 
• Increase French participation at seminars and conferences to promote the priorities of the strategy.
