It’s time for a broader, bolder feminist fiscal agenda, argue @CarenGrown @giulia_mascagni & @RhiannonCM.

🚺 Today's @UNECOSOC meeting on #gender and #tax is a key opportunity to move in this direction.

Important findings & implications from this research on taxpayer registration drives. Great summary thread 👇

[Max Gallien @MaxGallien]

🧵Countries across Africa have looked to registering new taxpayers as a path to rely less on international donors. However, often these campaigns don't raise much revenue - and hit some of the poorest. What is happening? Our new @ICTDTax working paper offers some explanations: 1/

What should lower-income countries do to #tax the wealthy❓ @giulia_mascagni & @RhiannonCM argue that before considering new #wealth taxes, LICs should focus on better implementing existing taxes on income & property that target the wealthy. @IDS_UK Read👉https://t.co/ebQjIlWiBN

Some great advice in this thread on how to do #research that influences #policy! 👇 @IDS_UK @IDSalumni @ICTDTax #impact @IDRC_CRDI

If you were going to give one piece of advice to an early career researcher on how to do research that influences policy, what would it be?

📊 The latest update of @CIVICUSMonitor ratings indicates that #CivilSociety continues to work in an increasingly hostile environment and only 3.4% of the world’s population lives in countries with open civic space.

[Rhiannon McCluskey @RhiannonCM]

@qatarairways How could you let this happen?! This is so awful - a whole family missing their trip home to Uganda after years of Covid, even though you told them the missing letter of her daughter’s name had been fixed.
Please make this right! 💔

[Rhiannon McCluskey @RhiannonCM]

Scandalous.

The FCDO has been asked freeze 'non-essential aid spending' because the 'new lower ODA limit was about to be breached'.

Here's a tale of two spending departments since 2020 - (MoD and FCDO) showing how it is different rules for different depts (1/n)
