This course explores how municipalities can grow own revenue by capturing a fair share of the value that development and public investment create. Participants learn to levy development charges for bulk infrastructure, apply land value capture instruments, and pursue broader revenue enhancement without simply raising rates. The programme addresses the African imperative to fund infrastructure and reduce grant dependence through smarter, defensible revenue instruments.
Municipal finance, planning and infrastructure officials, revenue managers and economic development practitioners focused on growing own revenue.
