If cross-border tax abuse were curtailed, an additional 5000 children would attend school every day in Malawi. We hope that all countries support efforts for international tax to be decided through the UN.

The first step in reparation is to do no further harm @GA4TJ @CManthalu @StopIFF @EATGN @zilhen @Youth_TJN
The British royal family has tried to shake off its colonial past. But its long reign over these wrongs is succeeded by a new form of plunder exacted by Britain's tax haven empire.

Great news African leaders call for an international convention on tax matters, with the participation of all State members @GRADE_Research @mjlopez222 @CManthalu @FrankKalizinje
African leaders took a monumental step this week by calling for a UN tax convention to curb illicit financial flows - which cost African countries $90bn a year and, as #FSI2022 shows, are enabled by rich countries' financial secrecy.

@MiningInMalawi @CManthalu @FrankKalizinje @zilhen @alexcobham @mjlopez222
Increased government revenue is associated with increased progress towards the #SDGs.
An improvement in the quality of governance could amplify this effect.
We have modelled this effect in our new paper:
