Overview
Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) is a growing regional network of 40 civil society organizations including think tanks; trade unions; feminists; and youth-led, faith-based, and community-based organizations spread across 25 African countries. TJNA’s mission is to mobilize African citizens and challenge public institutions to influence and change policy to enable tax justice to prevail in Africa. TJNA spearheads tax justice by advocating for tax policies to contribute to equitable, inclusive, and sustainable development. TJNA envisions a just, prospering, self-reliant, and integrated Africa sustainably harnessing its resources to enable its people to lead a dignified life. This grant will support TJNA to develop and advocate for a feminist taxation framework in Africa for Africa. (Strategy: International Women’s Economic Empowerment).

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Development Transformations program
Development Transformations (DevTransform) is a mission-driven, Africa-based, and African-led development organization hosted by the Tax Justice Network Africa. It seeks to transform development practices through the use of data, evidence, analysis, and thought leadership. This grant will support DevTransform’s efforts to establish data storytelling labs in Kenya and Uganda that will equip different communities with the skills, strategies, and technical know-how to tell their stories in a more powerful data-centric way, giving a voice to communities and vulnerable and marginalized groups that have been left behind.

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.
