This document discusses several key land information issues facing state government in Wisconsin, including the lack of a statewide imagery acquisition strategy, uncertainty around authoritative statewide data layers, and the need for business case assessments for centralized data infrastructure and services. It also describes relevant technological advances like web services and political advances in government transparency. The document questions how the Wisconsin Land Information Program (WLIP) could be enhanced to better support state government needs, such as developing standards, policies and funding for statewide data layers and a central repository. It discusses whether WLIP should focus more on local government roles or take on broader statewide initiatives.
An important feature of the process of structural transformation in developing economies is the formation of states capable of performing key administrative and economic functions. Recently, the belief that the economic performance of developing economies hinges on such capabilities (e.g., to raise revenues), which the literature terms as state capacity, has gained considerable support. For example, there is increasing evidence on the importance of fiscal and legal capacity as a stimulus for growth and poverty reduction (Besley and Persson 2011). While this has been welcomed in academic and policy arenas as an important advance, it is less clear what drives the long-run development of capable states. What are the conditions under which certain states develop higher capacity? Existing theory suggests that there are three broad groups of determinants, related to historical, geographical or political economy explanations. This paper assesses the importance of political economy explanations vis-à-vis geography and history, focusing on the role of political systems that impose constraints of the executive power. It does so by using two new databases that allow “unpacking” the concept of state capacity, by looking at what determines its key aspects of fiscal and expenditure capacity. It finds persuasive evidence that political economy factors trump geography and history in explaining variations in state fiscal capacity across countries.

This document summarizes an academic paper that discusses the rise of independent oversight bodies in fiscal policy, productivity, and regulation. It begins by noting the growing trend for governments to establish independent, non-partisan institutions to provide oversight and analysis to inform policymaking. However, some argue this replaces democracy with technocracy. The document then examines three types of independent bodies - independent fiscal institutions, independent productivity commissions, and regulatory oversight bodies. It provides examples from different countries and discusses key features like independence. In conclusion, it considers lessons learned and debates around technocratic approaches.
The Center for Technology in Government (CTG) fosters public sector innovation, enhances capabilities, and supports good governance. CTG provides thought leadership in public sector innovation and solutions critical problems facing government agencies. CTG has developed tools like the Open Government Portfolio Public Value Assessment Tool to help agencies assess initiatives and the Eight Essential Elements of Social Media Policy to guide policy development. CTG also provides training, consultations, and hands-on support to help agencies implement innovations.
This document summarizes a case study on tax expenditures in Latin America conducted by the International Budget Partnership and partner civil society organizations. It finds that tax expenditures in the region suffer from lack of transparency, opaque decision-making processes influenced by lobbying, and limited evaluation of their impact. However, CSOs can advocate for greater transparency, assessment of impacts on equity and human rights, and evaluation of the trade-offs between tax expenditures and government spending. Continued research and collaboration among CSOs in the region was found to help advance reforms toward more equitable tax systems.
This document discusses using independent evaluation to help achieve development goals. It provides context on financing for development discussions since 2002 and the increased complexity with more development partners. It frames the current agenda which focuses on: 1) strengthening domestic public finance; 2) enabling private sector growth; and 3) leveraging jointly funded initiatives. The document aims to extract lessons from past evaluations on these topics to inform current efforts to transform development finance under the sustainable development goals. It focuses on financing challenges but also the importance of country ownership, policy frameworks and institutions for enabling development outcomes.

This document provides a roadmap for future research directions in using big data for public policy. It outlines 5 main research clusters: privacy and transparency, data acquisition and storage, data clustering and integration, modeling and analysis, and data visualization. For each cluster, it identifies several specific research challenges. It also discusses how big data can be applied across the different phases of the policy cycle from agenda setting to evaluation. The roadmap aims to guide future EU research and policymaking in effectively leveraging big data and data-driven approaches.
This document discusses finance management for non-financial managers. It begins with an overview of the budget of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) over several years. It then discusses the transformation of BCSP's business and financial models in response to changes in the policy and funding environments. Key lessons discussed include the importance of diversifying funding sources, having a budget that supports the organization's mission and strategy, maintaining adequate liquidity, and having strong financial management procedures and accountability. The document also addresses challenges like unpredictable revenue during crises and restrictive operating environments.

Melissa Montesinos
Finance deals with leverage, banking or debt, capital markets, investments and money. It is used
in describing the general management of funds and the processes of acquiring funds. Finance is
categorized into major areas such as corporate finance, investments, financial institutions and
international finance.
The paper aims at outlining each of the outlined areas of finance and describes the relevant skills
required in becoming an effective professional in the field. Also, there is a comprehensive
description of the impact of technology, the economy and the persistent pandemic on careers in
the respective field of finance.
Corporate finance
This is the branch of finance that deals with how corporations deal with funding sources,
investment decisions and capital structuring. The aim of corporate finance in the operations of
organizations is maximization of shareholder’s value through short-term and long-term planning
and implementation of strategies. Corporate finance is mainly focused on specific areas such as
cost of capital, invested capital, operating flows and return on invested capital. In ensuring that
one understands the requirements of each of the areas outlined in corporate finance, there are
skills that are necessary for the corporate finance professional. One of the skills is a formal
accounting qualification which is highly applied in determining the appropriate cost of capital
that an organization or a company should use in its capital structure. Also, the professional
should have the skills to develop a budget for an organization based on projections or past data.
This is enhanced by the presence of interrelated skills such as financial reporting skills which
enable the professional to prepare statements based on the relevant financial and accounting
standards (Booth et al, 2020).
Investments
This refers to the area of finance that deals with allocation of resources with the expectations of
getting a return after some time in terms of profits or interests. In most cases the resources used
in investments include money and financial instruments. An investment is basically an asset that
is purchased with the hope that there will be generation of income or appreciation in value at
some point in future. Professionals in this field are normally the financial analysts. In enhancing
one’s effectiveness in the investment field, there are various skills that one should at equipping
themselves. One of the skills is information technology expertise in terms of computer literacy
among other areas. Also, one should have analytical skills which relate to the ability to collect
and analyze information and use the information in solving a problem at hand. Also, one should
have research skills as investments require one to have all the necessary data in making a certain
decision (Brown, 2021).

hen Will Wilkinson decided to major in phi-
losophy, his father wondered about the useful-
ness of the degree. “My dad asked if I was
going to work in a philosophy factory,” says Wilkinson.
“And now, I guess I do.”
Wilkinson is a policy analyst for a think tank in
Washington, D.C. As his anecdote suggests, think tanks
are, in a sense, idea factories. They employ policy
analysts to research complex problems and recommend
solutions. Issues range from education to healthcare to
national defense.
In fact, the ideas for many current laws and poli-
cies originated with policy analysts in think tanks and
other private organizations. Policy analysts—also called
researchers, scholars, and fellows—work to raise public
awareness of social issues, such as crime prevention,
access to healthcare, and protection of the environment.
And in the solutions they propose, these policy analysts
hope to influence government action.
Policy analysts who work for governments create
policy and evaluate program effectiveness; some help to
decide which private organizations should be awarded
publicly funded grants. For example, policy analysts
might suggest ideas for a county recycling plan, report

1) Evaluation systems in developed countries are more mature, with strong evaluation cultures existing in many OECD countries due to democratic systems, empirical traditions, and trained civil servants.
2) A strong evaluation culture is characterized by widespread evaluation, trained evaluators, professional evaluation societies, and institutional arrangements for conducting and disseminating evaluations.
3) Evaluation in developing countries faces challenges like weak political will and difficulties with inter-ministerial cooperation, but is growing in importance for achieving goals like the Millennium Development Goals.
4) Emerging issues like globalization, conflict, and governance reforms have implications for evaluation, requiring indicators and assessments of new areas like post-conflict reconstruction, corruption, and investment climate.

Evaluation is an analytical and organized process to figure out the present positive influences, favourable future prospects, existing shortcomings and ulterior complexities of any plan, program, practice or a policy. Evaluation of policy is an essential and vital process required to measure the performance or progression of the scheme. The main purpose of policy evaluation is to empower various stakeholders and enhance their socio-economic environment. A large number of policies or schemes in different areas are launched by government in view of citizen welfare. Although, the governmental policies intend to better shape up the life quality of people but may also impact their every day’s life.

Este documento resume tres proyectos que buscan mejorar la movilización de recursos nacionales en Afganistán, Vietnam y Túnez. En Afganistán, el proyecto ATAR está automatizando los procedimientos aduaneros, gestionando el riesgo y estableciendo estándares de auditoría y conducta. En Vietnam, el proyecto GIG está promoviendo altos estándares en las compras públicas. Y en Túnez, el proyecto TCP está apoyando la reforma fiscal a través del análisis de políticas.
This document summarizes presentations from three USAID-funded projects working to improve domestic resource mobilization:
1) The Afghanistan Trade and Revenue Project is working to modernize customs procedures through electronic payments, risk-based inspections, internal audits, and professional standards to increase revenue collection.
2) The Vietnam Governance for Inclusive Growth Project is promoting high procurement standards to comply with trade agreements and strengthen transparency, including revising laws, training officials, and expanding e-procurement.
3) The Tunisia Tax and Customs Reform Activity used modeling and analysis to develop reforms simplifying taxes and customs duties that were included in the 2016 Finance Law, and it aims to establish a Fiscal Analysis Unit to
Institutional transparency is key to preventing corruption. When corporate records, court documents, government procurement records, and media are publicly accessible online, it allows companies to thoroughly research potential partners and identify "red flags" like obscure ownership structures, corruption allegations, or ties to government officials. However, transparency varies greatly between countries and even within countries. In Brazil, for example, corporate records availability ranges from comprehensive online databases to only being available on-site for a fee. Where transparency is lacking, it constrains the private sector's ability to conduct proper due diligence and avoid corrupt partners and transactions.
This document summarizes a political scientist's perspective on corruption from an international conference on governmental financial management. It discusses how corruption is correlated with levels of economic development, political institutions, economic rents, bureaucratic and political incentives, taxation systems, customs agencies, and budget management processes. Potential solutions are outlined like reforming laws and procedures, increasing transparency, oversight, and technology, and strengthening institutions.
The document discusses how capturing illicit financial flows can help fund achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It notes that $1 trillion in illicit capital leaves developing countries annually, contributing to an estimated $2.5 trillion annual funding gap for the Goals. While political will exists to reduce these flows, misinvoiced trade accounts for $878 billion per year. The document introduces a Trade Misinvoicing Assessment System (TMAS) that analyzes pricing data to help customs officials identify misinvoiced goods shipments, which could help capture more revenue domestically and close the funding gap.
This document discusses how natural resources are embedded within many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how corruption is often linked to countries that rely heavily on natural resource exports. It notes that while there is no standalone "natural resources" SDG, natural resources relate to goals around ending poverty, achieving food security, access to clean water and affordable energy, sustainable economic growth, reducing inequality, sustainable consumption and production, climate action, and more. It then outlines how corruption is more common in countries with weak institutions that rely on natural resource exports, especially oil, and explains some of the political and economic factors that can contribute to this "resource curse". The document concludes by noting increased calls for transparency and accountability in
La iniciativa de Addis Ababa busca que los países recauden más fondos domésticos para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Desde la conferencia de Addis Ababa en 2015, varios países y organizaciones han trabajado para mejorar la recaudación de impuestos domésticos, como Rwanda que se unió a la iniciativa y Afganistán que comenzó un programa de recaudación de impuestos domésticos. Otras áreas de enfoque incluyen la erosión de la base imponible y la transferencia de beneficios
The document summarizes the Addis Tax Initiative agreed upon at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development. The initiative is a partnership to improve domestic resource mobilization by encouraging donors to increase funding for tax systems and developing countries to raise tax revenues to fund development goals. Several countries and organizations have signed on to the initiative and some progress has been made through diagnostic tools and programs in countries like Rwanda and Afghanistan. Other related efforts on base erosion, tax incentives, and private sector participation are also discussed.

This document discusses Ukraine's tax reform efforts to support economic development. Key measures of the 2014 tax reform focused on increasing budget revenues through expanding excise taxes and property taxes. Rates for corporate and personal income taxes were also increased. However, the reform also aimed to enhance entrepreneurship by reducing some tax benefits and making the tax system more transparent and efficient to improve the business climate. Overall, the tax changes helped address fiscal consolidation but further reforms are still needed to minimize taxes' negative impact on growth and bring more business out of the shadow economy.
The document summarizes the fiscal policies and transparency initiatives of the Cordoba Province government in Argentina.
