The African Parliamentary Network on Illicit Financial Flows and Taxation (APNIFFT) and Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) are set to launch the APNIFFT Burundi national caucus on March 29, 2024. The launch will provide a platform for Burundi members of parliament for collective action in addressing illicit financial flows in Africa and tax injustices under the theme “MP’s Leadership in Combatting Illicit Financial Flows and Tax Injustices.”
During the meeting, members of parliament and parliamentary officials will be taken through key issues on illicit financial flows and tax injustices and how they affect domestic revenue streams, crucial for the country’s development.
The national caucus will strengthen the capacities of parliamentarians to effectively address and bring about interventions that combat the continent’s illicit financial flows and domestic resource mobilisation issues by advancing fair taxation policies in Burundi.
APNIFFT is a flagship program under the coordination of TJNA with the objective of providing a platform for African legislators to foster strategic discussions, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building initiatives geared explicitly toward tackling illicit financial flows and tax injustice in Africa.
APNIFFT seeks to empower its members to spearhead effective change within their jurisdictions by facilitating simplified advocacy-related dialogues and debates on crucial topics like tax governance, and domestic resource mobilisation.
