Strengthening tax collection through ML-integrated technology

Project Active from 20 Jan 2022 to 31 Dec 2023 State Effectiveness and Tax

This project proposes addressing the significant backlog of tax cases in Pakistan by developing a Machine Learning (ML) integrated app to optimise case allocation and improve efficiency.
