ATAF . Soutien technique aux administrations fiscales africaines

The African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) is a multilateral initiative launched by a group of African governments in late November 2009. ATAF offers a platform for tax administrators to articulate African tax priorities, develop and share best practices in the region, and build capacity in African tax policy and administration through peer exchange and knowledge development. Since its inception in 2008, and now in its fourth year of operation, ATAF has built a prominent international profile. In its relatively short organizational lifespan ATAF has generated and promoted a body of knowledge and practice for efficient, effective and equitable domestic resource mobilization in Africa. The organization had developed steadily crafting an appropriate institutional structure and growing its membership base in the process. To date ATAF counts 35 member countries, attesting to both the need and relevance of the organization in creating a space for sharing lessons, developing skills and promoting sound taxation practice
