Calculating Success: Hands-on Strategies for Office Productivity Amidst Diagrams, woman is planning a profit

Cambodia’s economy is on a recovery trajectory post-pandemic albeit at a modest pace. According to the IMF, it is necessary for Cambodia to implement sound fiscal frameworks to maintain debt sustainability and strengthen economic resilience. A key step in this is effective and fair taxation, which is essential to finance public services, reduce inequality, and strengthen democratic governance.

The Strengthening Tax Revenue Collection in Cambodia project supports Cambodia in strengthening its tax system to ensure fair, efficient, and sustainable public revenue collection. By improving tax audits, human resource management, and taxpayer communication, the project aims to strengthen public institutions, increase transparency, and improve public services for citizens. It contributes directly to Cambodia’s Public Financial Management Reform and the EU’s priorities on good governance and strong institutions.
