Introduction
Municipalities in Afghanistan are created for management of city affairs and to provide for the general welfare of their inhabitants. In spite of this huge responsibility toward city and citizens, municipalities are the non-budgetary units of government and are authorized to generate their own revenues. Given this fact, we realize that urban development and welfare of citizens depends on increased generation of revenues. So, municipalities are legally obliged to strive to enhance revenues and judiciously utilize the sources to finance service delivery. Having that in mind, Farah municipality technically supported by UNDP-ASGP formulated a comprehensive revenue enhancement action plan and strategy for effective and efficient revenue administration and economic development. This support of UNDP-ASGP is highly appreciated.
This action plan and strategy is not a sole product of Farah municipality and ASGP, but a key paper developed in collaboration with representatives of communities, businesses, PC and other government institutions including UNAMA. The main objective behind this participatory approach is a strong citizen-government movement in the area of municipal governance and development. This strategy was developed in March 2013 and is amendable given new needs arising or requirements of the time.
It is a three major part action plan and strategy, with a high focus on capacity development of municipal staff and organization in all aspects.
The parts are as follows:
1. Revenue Administration
2. Economic Enterprise Development
3. Revenue Projection
The municipality of Farah is fully committed to extend all efforts and resources to implement this strategy. However, support of people and donors is a big need so that the implementation is accelerated and this way Farah people see their needs
