The general objective of this proposal is to analyze the equity of various fiscal country specific interventions and provide technical and practical advice to Latin American and Caribbean governments to improve fiscal policies and effectively reduce poverty and inequality. The specific objectives are to (i) integrate equity into fiscal policy design to ensure that fiscal policies balance equity with efficiency, sustainability, and economic growth while minimizing unintended negative consequences; (ii) enhance policy design with the use of rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis to assess the distributional impacts of fiscal policies and improve resource allocation; and (iii) support policymakers with evidence-based Insights to provide governments with analytical tools to design, compare, and implement effective and equitable fiscal policies across the region.
