Abstract

This article examines Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Tax Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa with a focused emphasis on Senegal within the field of Business. It is structured as a survey research article that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.

Introduction

The introduction of Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Tax Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa examines Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Tax Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa in relation to Senegal, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of Business ((Adeboje et al., 2025)) 1. This section is written as a approximately 422 to 647 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Gerlach, 2024)) 2. Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((RAUFF & Adegboye, 2024)) 3. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Tax Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa; explain why it matters in Senegal; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Allais et al., 2015)). In the context of Senegal, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary 4. This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Methodology, so it preserves continuity across the article.
