The Sussex Development Lecture, co-hosted by the University of Sussex and the Institute of Development Studies, will be holding a lecture on “the need for more inclusive, equitable tax and multilateral systems”. It will be delivered by Chenai Mukumba, Executive Director of Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) and chaired by ICTD’s Executive Director Giulia Mascagni.
In a context of significant cuts to aid spending by the US and countries across Europe combined with rising global need, taxation – and the need for tax justice – at both a national and international level has never been such a critical topic.
Fresh from the UN Tax Convention negotiations in Nairobi earlier this month, Mukumba will discuss why reforming the global tax architecture matters for everyone, not just the global South that is pushing for change. A fairer system would strengthen trust in multilateral institutions, reduce harmful tax competition, and ensure that all countries have a voice in shaping global rules regardless of size or income level.
