Kenya is strengthening its capacity to generate reliable, data-driven revenue projections through a targeted technical engagement delivered in collaboration with ATAF and the Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA).
The engagement, held in March 2026, brought together officials from across the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for a week of practical learning focused on enhancing revenue forecasting and tax analysis, two critical components of effective fiscal planning and decision-making.
Over the course of the week, participants worked closely with ATAF expert, Dr Moses Chamisa and Ms Wynnona Steyn from the South African Revenue Services, to refine their revenue performance assessment and build more reliable forecasts. The sessions introduced practical ways of using data and analytical tools to support better decision-making.
Through hands-on exercises and technical discussions, the programme strengthened participants’ ability to analyse revenue trends, develop credible projections, and use data more effectively in planning and policy processes.
Reliable revenue forecasting plays a central role in shaping tax policy, informing national budgets, and strengthening compliance strategies. By enhancing these capabilities, KRA is better positioned to improve the accuracy of its revenue projections and support more effective domestic resource mobilisation.
Delivered as part of ATAF’s ongoing collaboration with KRA through KESRA, the initiative reflects continued efforts to support African tax administrations in strengthening core systems and aligning domestic practices with evolving international standards.
