The global financial and economic systems, designed over 70 years ago, have failed to address today’s pressing challenges that Africa is grappling with, such as climate change, systemic inequality, increasing systemic risks, entrenched gender bias, rising debt levels, and economic and geopolitical changes.
The negotiations for a United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation have gathered pace, thanks to a spirited campaign by the Africa Group, the Global South countries and over 100 CSOs from these regions. This event will not only apprise of the latest developments but also address systemic inequities and explore actionable solutions to create a fairer financial system for all.
