30-31 May - Swedish Tax Conference, Stockholm
DFI attended the Tax Conference held in Stockholm, assisting African governments and CSOs to prepare and make presentations in various sessions. The conference produced a declaration which could potentially mark a major reinforcement of the Addis Tax Initiative and global efforts to increase revenue mobilisation in developing countries, especially as it emphasises the need to make tax systems more progressive, more gender-responsive, and more transparent and accountable to citizens, parliaments and civil society.
DFI and OIF intend to join the Addis Tax Initiative to ensure that the views of low-income countries are even more clearly heard in its future deliberations.
