Description

The PFRC is a new programme that is designed to achieve results in the fields of tax and public finance in developing countries. The PFRC is part of a wider Centre of Expertise for Public Finance which also includes "peer to peer support" and "evidence into action" pillars which are not part of this procurement.
The Resource Centre will be a flexible, demand-led facility offering technical assistance to:
- Partner country governments
- FCDO Posts (in the form of scoping studies and political economy analysis)
- Regional organisations specialising in tax and public financial management
The Resource Centre will offer technical assistance either on a short (less than 6 months), medium (6 to 12 months) or long-term basis (over 12 months) and may offer multi-year interventions (which are similar to traditional bilateral programmes).

- To explore issues involved with having a managing agent and framework model.
