Overview
Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) is a regional growing network of 44 civil society organizations (CSOs) spread across 25 African countries. It is composed of think tanks, feminist groups, youth-led organizations, and community-based organizations, among other types of CSOs. TJNA envisions a just, prospering, self-reliant, and integrated Africa sustainably harnessing its resources to enable its people to lead a dignified life. The network advocates for pro-poor tax policies and strengthening tax systems to promote domestic resource mobilization by challenging harmful investment practices, improving international tax transparency, and restoring the sovereignty of natural resources back to African countries. TJNA’s 2021-25 strategic vision is to mobilize African citizens and challenge public institutions to influence and change policy to enable tax justice to prevail on the continent.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of Nawi’s thinking hub on social reproduction and care economies in Africa
Nawi – Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective and the Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) are co-creating a thinking hub to develop an African feminist theory and narrative of the care economy. The knowledge produced through the hub will contribute to broader decolonized theorizations on social reproduction from an African and Global South vantage point. This grant to Tax Justice Network Africa, which serves as the fiscal host for Nawi, will establish the thinking hub and enable Nawi and MISR to invest in institutional strengthening.
