Abstract
The report focuses on strengthening subnational domestic resource mobilization (DRM) for improved service delivery in urban areas, including cities, city-regions, and peri-urban areas of developing countries. It reviews the latest evidence from academic and practitioner literature, provides information on adapting international best practices, and lays the groundwork for technical assistance programs. The report highlights the importance of subnational DRM in achieving sustainable financing of local services, promoting government accountability, and enhancing resilience to shocks. It also provides strategic guidance for donor-supported subnational DRM efforts.
