Kampala, Uganda – March 2025 – Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) will host its second Anti-IFFs Policy Tracker piloting workshop from 19 to 21 March 2025 in Uganda.
The workshop, in collaboration with the African Union Economic Development, Trade, Tourism, Industry, and Minerals Department (AU-ETTIM) and the Africa Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), aims to engage key Ugandan government institutions in assessing efforts to combat illicit financial flows (IFFs) – a major challenge to economic development and governance in Africa.
The Anti-IFFs Policy Tracker focuses on four thematic areas: policy and legislative frameworks, institutional frameworks, information and data frameworks, and interagency cooperation. The tool provides actionable recommendations and measurable indicators, enabling participants to conduct self-assessments and gain insights for effective policy interventions.
This workshop will assess Uganda’s current policies, identify high-risk areas in its financial system, and strengthen cooperation on anti-IFFs strategies.
TJNA’s objective, standardized, and data-driven approach will assist participants in pinpointing policy gaps, tracking progress, and identifying reform opportunities. The findings from this workshop will contribute to a broader strategic framework for addressing IFFs across Africa and will be presented at the African Union 3rd Subcommittee on Taxation and IFFs in May 2025.
This marks a significant step in the fight against IFFs in Africa. The outcomes from the workshop are expected to help shape effective strategies for economic transparency and sustainable growth.
