DC Forum Luncheon

Steve Rozner
Senior Fiscal Advisor,
Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and the Environment,
USAID

Since the July 2015 Financing for Development Conference in Ethiopia, the global community has coalesced around domestic resource mobilization (DRM) as a central means for developing countries to enhance economic stability, deliver public services, and fulfill the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.

During this session, Mr. Rozner will reflect on international experience and evidence of what works in improving DRM and provide his perspective on the importance of "getting the basics right."

Our Speaker:

Steve Rozner is senior fiscal advisor in USAID's Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and the Environment. Steve supports the Agency's programming, technical leadership, and international cooperation in the area of domestic resource mobilization (DRM). In his capacity, he regularly collaborates with USAID's Washington and overseas operating units to integrate DRM and public financial management into development strategies and project designs. Prior to joining USAID, he directed the Public Finance and Economic Policy practice at DAI and served as director for USAID’s worldwide Fiscal Reform and Economic Governance program. Steve has more than 15 years of experience designing, managing, and implementing technical assistance in fiscal policy and management in countries spanning Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the LAC region.
