NEW EDITION PUBLISHED ON 3 JUNE 2024
Tax Transparency in Africa is a key output of the Africa Initiative, a programme established in 2014 to ensure that African countries are equipped to exploit the latest improvements in global transparency, to better tackle tax evasion and other illicit financial flows and ultimately improve domestic resource mobilisation to support their economic development. The 2024 edition covers 41 African countries and is co-produced by the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes (Global Forum), the African Union Commission and the African Tax Administration Forum. It includes impressive new figures, case studies and testimonies showing the very concrete results achieved so far, most notably on domestic resource mobilisation.
The launch event is part of the 15th Meeting of the Africa Initiative, to be held on in Lomé (Togo) on 3-5 June 2024. The meeting will gather senior politicians, high-level representatives from more than 30 African countries, as well as international tax experts, regional and international organisations, partners and donors of the Africa Initiative and civil society organisations.
