The full name of this brochure is Tapping the Untapped Potential: GIZ Succes Stories in Capacity Development for Local Revenue Enhancement in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This brochure that GIZ has published investigates and describes some of GIZ experiences in its suport to local revenue enhancement in nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Seven GIZ programmes are examined on how they have adressed challenges within this context.
