Impact: Policy, Society and culture

Narrative

On 2 December 2021, at 15:00 UTC+1 (16:00 Helsinki), UNU-WIDER and the OECD Development Centre host an online panel discussion on Developing Fiscal States in Africa that brings together academia, policy practitioners and development partners. The panel is chaired by Federico Bonaglia, Deputy Director at OECD Development Centre, and is composed of experts in the field of fiscal states.

Questions to be considered by the panel include:

What kind of fiscal states is Africa developing?
What are the political determinants of fiscal states in the continent?
What can countries learn from past and recent experiences in Africa and elsewhere?
The discussion is followed by a Q&A session, where the audience can ask the panellists questions. The outcomes of the dialogue contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how fiscal capacity can develop in Africa, and the political, economic and historical conditions necessary to consolidate fiscal states in the continent.

The event is held in English with simultaneous translation into French.
