Description
Growing inequality and wealth concentration where half of the world’s wealth lies in the hands of just 1% of the population poses a serious threat to the global economy and undermines democracy. Existing flaws in international financial systems have significantly contributed to aggravating global inequality. This initiative aims at; (1) reducing unfair tax practices through evidence-based research and policy advocacy; (2) building capacity for monitoring fairness and transparency within the tax system and (3) influencing policies on revenue generation. Tax revenue remains the most reliable and sustainable source of finance to provide adequate social services. However, tax is not only a revenue collection tool.
