Description
In this final episode of a five-part series that looks at the Use of Research Evidence (URE) by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in formulating fair tax policies in Africa, we take stock of all the lessons learnt by use of research evidence. A report launched by Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) and the Institute of Economics Justice (IEJ) in January 2022, reveals that it is not enough to simply generate good research. What does this mean? Join us in our last episode as we learn more about URE from Alvin Mosioma, Executive Director at TJNA and Gilad Isaacs, Director at the IEJ, hosted by Bezawit Mekonnen.
