African Tax Administration Forum - ATAF
Description
African Tax Administration Forum - ATAF (http://www.ataftax.net/en/) is an organisation of Tax Administrations of 36 African countries which was established in 2009 to promote efficient and effective tax administration to improve the living standards of the people of Africa. ATAF strives to provide a platform to improve the performance of tax administration in Africa. Better tax administration will enhance economic growth, increase accountability of the state to its citizens, and effectively mobilise domestic resources. The following strategic objectives have been defined for 2013 – 2016: 1. Establishing a well-functioning international organisation; 2. Building capable African tax administrations that develop, share and implement best practices; 3. Becoming the African voice on tax issues to inform and influence the global dialogue; 4. Fostering sustainable partnerships with stakeholders; and 5. Improving good governance and accountability between state and citizens. ATAF provides technical assistance to its member countries through consultation, training and conferences. Training is organised also on line. Financial assistance for 2013-2015 is provided by the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Switzerland, and Norway. Finland's contribution is for 2014-2015.
