Date
11 March 2025

Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) hosted a powerful Fireside Chat featuring members of the African Union’s High-Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs)—marking a decade since the release of the High-Level Panel report. Moderated by TJNA Executive Director Chenai Mukumba, this conversation brought together distinguished panelists:

  • ✅ Amb. Olusegun Apata
  • ✅ Mr. Raymond Baker
  • ✅ Adv. Mojanku Gumbi
  • ✅ Barrister Akere Muna
  • ✅ Hon. Irene Ovonji-Odida
  • ✅ H.E. Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok
  • ✅ Mr. Arvinn Gadgil

Together, they had time to reflect on the past and the lessons learned, assess the strides made in tackling IFFs, and highlight the persistent and emerging challenges Africa faces today. The discussion also underscored the urgent need for systemic reforms, including the push for a #UNTaxConvention, to curb the outflow of illicit finances and reclaim Africa’s wealth for its people. TJNA remains committed to championing just and equitable tax systems that advance Africa’s development agenda and economic justice for all.
