Mechanisms of local resource mobilisation: Study into contributory social protection schemes for informal workers as alternative mechanism of domestic resource mobilisation and critical review of decentralised cooperation in support of local taxation systems. BeFinD-phase 2

BeFinD is a consortium of four research centers at Belgian universities which focus on policy-oriented research related to the Financing for Development Agenda (2014-2017). The research is done on behalf of the Belgian Federal Public Service Foreign affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, and hosted by the Flemish Inter-university Council (VLIR-UOS). The University of Namur (CRED), the University of Antwerp (IOB), and the University of Leuven (HIVA & GGS) are jointly coordinating research activities in 4 main areas: local resources for development, mobilising private resources for development, ODA and its relationship with other development-relevant funding flows, and global public goods. The research is oriented towards informing policies and practices of Belgian bilateral and multilateral development cooperation actors regarding the emerging landscape of development finance. HIVA KU Leuven is contributing to the research activities on the redistributive potential of social protection, the role of the private sector in development, illegal financial flows, and global public goods.
