SEMINAR: Gender and tax for institutional cooperation

A black woman in modest clothing is bending down towards the ground with a gardening tool in her hand to tend the soil covered in grass.

The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation is hosting a seminar on gender and tax for institutional cooperation.

In this seminar, participants will share knowledge and experiences about gender and tax and explore what consequences this knowledge has for capacity development and institutional cooperation. The seminar has been developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs and the Norwegian Tax Administration.

  • Eugénie Ribault, ICTD/IDS
  • Jalia Kangave, ICTD
