The Tax Justice Network - Africa (TJN-A) is a Pan African initiative and member of the
Global Alliance for Tax Justice. TJN-A was established in 2007 at the World Social Forum in
Nairobi and aims to promote socially just, democratic and progressive taxation systems in
Africa. It advocates for pro-poor taxation systems and the strengthening of tax regimes to
promote domestic resource mobilization. TJN-A aims to challenge harmful tax policies and
practices that favour the wealthy and those that aggravate and perpetuate inequality.
One of the main purposes of the initiative is to mainstream tax justice in the economic policy
and development discourse in Africa. TJN-A provides a platform dedicated to enabling African
researchers, campaigners and policy makers to cooperate in the struggle against illicit capital
flight, tax evasion, tax competition and other harmful trends in tax policy and practice.
