Listen now
Description
This is the first episode of a five-part series, in which we look at the Use of Research Evidence (URE) by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in formulating fair tax policies in Africa.  In this episode, we focus on Tunisia highlighting the tax incentive in the North most country in Africa. Between 2012 and 2017 Tunisian policymakers worked with the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to draft an amendment of the 1993 Investment Code law using research evidence produced over the years. Ishmael Zulu hosts Busi Sibeko a Researcher and the Budget Project Lead at the Institute of Economic Justice (IEJ) to help us to unpack this.
