Climate Risk Screening Results for USAID Revenue Mobilization for Equity and Growth
USAID/Zambia
Illustrative interventions
Geographies Climate Risks Impacts Risk Rating Actions for Implementation and How Risks are Addressed at Activity Level
Technical assistance, training, and direct support towards:
Implementation of a strategy addressing the low rate of compliance across all taxes and obligations;
Introduce efficiency measures to improve VAT collection
Improved forecasting of VAT refunds
Undertake and support assessments of how to shift and sustain the politics of reform on specific tax-related issues
Expansion of meaningful transparency and improved quality of consultation processes
Nationally focused through support to overall tax policy and tax administration, and other fiscal policy issues.
Reduced national tax base, increased deficit spending or inflation due to extreme weather events and more gradual climate changes.
Gendered biases in tax policy and administration exacerbated due to livelihood impacts that affect women’s livelihoods more severely.
Increased investment uncertainty, affecting potential revenues, due to increased market volatility from climate variability.
Reduced revenue due to constraints on economic development or production in affected sectors
More frequent and acute stress on government resources to manage climate threats
Tax policy disadvantages affected livelihoods and impacts men/women differently; policy assessments do not take changes into account and opportunities for poverty-related tax relief are missed.
Moderate for all interventions
Technical support for analyzing climate information to determine vulnerabilities and risks to key economic sectors to inform longer term revenue projections that may be affected by climate change.
Technical support to consider tax policy changes that enable enhanced adaptability to respond to climate change threats.
Analysis during implementation to incorporate livelihood impacts, including gender differences, into tax policy and implementation.
Build the capacity of Zambian private sector and civil society to consider climate change impacts when formulating policy proposals and advocacy plans.
Investments in both private sector and civil society capacity
Capacity development of the Ministry of Finance’s tax policy unit in policy impact assessment to lay the foundation for policy review and reform
Examination of the effectiveness of non-tax revenue collection
