The ICTD and LoGRI will be hosting a side event at the Second Preparatory Committee Session of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4). The side event will be held on December 3rd, from 10:00 to 11:30am at the UN Headquarters in New York, in Conference Room A. The newly released Elements Paper brings forward a much wider range of issues related to domestic tax systems than the Addis Ababa Action Agenda laid out in 2015.

Twenty-two tax and finance professionals mostly from countries across Africa successfully completed ICTD’s last module for the Research on Tax and Development course in Accra earlier this month. The course, which has been delivered by ICTD for nearly ten years, equips participants with a strong understanding of the current tax and development landscape, and teaches them basic research methodologies, supporting them to develop their own research projects.

Taxes are not just about money and not just for economists. Using as a starting point recent flashpoints such as the E-levy and recent tax protests in Ghana and other parts of the continent, the panel will show the connection between taxation and wider political and social issues. This interactive panel will discuss the relationship between taxes and trust in the state, elections and public mobilisation, informality, and gendered social relations.
