Tax Transparency in Africa 2026 is a key output of the Africa Initiative, a programme established in 2014 to ensure that African countries are equipped to exploit the latest improvements in global transparency, to better tackle tax evasion and other illicit financial flows and ultimately improve domestic resource mobilisation to support their economic development.
The report presents insights from over 40 African countries, with impressive figures, case studies and testimonies showing the concrete results achieved. It highlights African countries’ commitment and progress in advancing the implementation and use of the international tax transparency standards. The 2026 edition is co-produced by the Global Forum and the African Tax Administration Forum.
With 39 members and 19 partners and donors, the Africa Initiative drives the tax transparency agenda in Africa through enhanced political commitment and capacity building, in support of domestic resource mobilisation and the fight against illicit financial flows.
