As Africa takes a more assertive role in global tax governance, confronts rapid technological change and works to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation, the continent’s tax research agenda cannot react to challenges as they emerge. At the 11th ATAF–ATRN Annual Congress in Kigali, the agenda will bring together leading voices to tackle a critical question: What are the research priorities Africa must pursue now—and why do they matter? From the impact of AI and algorithmic decision-making in tax administration to gender-responsive taxation, climate taxation, the informal economy, tax morale, tax microdata and the implications of the UN Tax Convention, the conversation will explore the knowledge gaps Africa must address to shape stronger and more equitable tax systems. Featuring: Ms Belema Obuoforibo - Director: IBFD Library & Information Centre & Chair: Centre for Studies in African Taxation Prof Nicase Mede - Professor of Public Law and Political Science - Université d'Abomey-Calavi Benin Prof Jukka Pirttilä – Professor of Public Economics - University of Helsinki Dr Moses Chamisa - Applied Research & Statistics Specialist – ATAF If you are a researcher, tax administrator, policymaker, academic or development practitioner, this is a conversation you need to be part of.
