Abstract: Abstract Hujo presents three overarching conclusions of the research. First, domestic resource mobilization (DRM) is a political process of contestation and bargaining, marked by power asymmetries, and shaped by historical legacies and the present economic and political context. Second, changes and reforms in resource mobilization policies impact relationships among state, civil society, donors and business actors. Third, upgrading both domestic revenue institutions and service delivery requires not only technical capacity building but also political consensus building. The chapters presented in the volume suggest four recommendations for policymakers: create inclusive resource bargains with links to social policy, diversify the financing mix in favour of sustainable instruments, support national bargains with global bargains and create an enabling environment for DRM through public policies.
