The Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) provides capacity development (CD) in fiscal policy, including reform design and implementation, sharing knowledge with governments’ fiscal institutions such as ministries of finance and tax and customs administrations, supporting fiscal systems, and strengthening tax and customs institutions' modernization.
