Tax Policy and Enterprise Development in South Asia (TEDSA)

The Members of this Network are envisaged as policy-makers, policy analysts/advisors and academicians/researchers that are involved in focus areas ranging from economic planning, fiscal policy, fiscal decentralization, informal economy, entrepreneurship; gender equality and women’s economic participation, labor economics, inspection and administration. The Members constitute these target ‘users’ both at the policy and academic ends. They will be involved in evolution of thematic focus, implementation modalities, institutional and financial arrangements during the program cycle. 

In addition, government officials in each country that are involved in formulating and/or implementing policies related to taxation and enterprise development will serve as Key Informants who will be interviewed to structure the policy problem and frame alternatives, at the data collection stage.
