OUR PROJECTS
Capabuild was established, to improve training-curricula at tax training centers, and strengthening the capacity of tax training centers to train the trainers, tax administrators and their stakeholders, building capacity within tax administrations.
Upon request of our customers/counterparts Capabuild involves businesses in Capabuild’s training activities, thereby making it truly a public private partnership instrument. Many tax administrations are eager to learn how multinationals operate, how they make investment decisions and what the role of tax is in their decision making process and how they view the tax system in our counterparts’ countries? Capabuild takes all measures to prevent no conflicts of interest occurring.
Currently, we have projects (at various stages) in Indonesia, Rwanda, and Kenya. We are in with past partners who we may work with again in the future, Botswana is one of those partners. Together with partner agency CFS at University of Nairobi we also provide ongoing activities covering multiple countries/regions on the African continent. With our innovation projects we cover the entire African continent and the entire Asian region. Pipeline projects (from pre feasibility to scoping) are currently being developed for East Timor (via our Indonesian partner FETA), Mongolia, and Senegal. We also conduct broad activities such as our free online information portal, the TAP, https://capabuild.org/tax-aggregator-portal/, and are exploring specific initiatives for women working tax revenue services in Asia and Africa.
WHERE WE WORK
At the outset, our efforts entail physical visits to the countries involved, where we, in co-operation with the local training centre and tax administrators, often from large taxpayer units or cross border tax departments, define feasibility, scoping and design.
While a major part of the execution of the programs is usually done locally, with the Covid-19 restrictions we aim to do this more online, with the help of video conferencing and other online applications. For this purpose, our production team operates a mobile studio in the Netherlands from which the program is executed in close cooperation with the country’s production team and our moderating team in Australia.
We are now using a hybrid model, continuing part of the work online and part face-to-face.
ALWAYS EXPANDING OUR REACH
In response to the Covid-19 crisis, we have built a state of the art of online education platform, enabling Capabuild to continue our training efforts despite travel limitations and lockdowns.
