Fifth Session of the Sub-Committee on Tax and Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs)

At a time when Africa is intensifying efforts to finance its own development and safeguard its economies, the Fifth Session of the Sub-Committee on Tax and Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) serves as a strategic continental platform for action-oriented dialogue and policy alignment. Convened under the auspices of the African Union, the session brings together Member States, Pan-African institutions, and key partners to strengthen tax systems, curb illicit financial flows, and advance domestic resource mobilization (DRM) as a cornerstone of sustainable growth.

Anchored in the implementation of Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, the Fifth Session builds on the momentum and recommendations of the 4th Sub-Committee on Tax and IFFs and the 8th Ordinary Session of the STC-FMAEPI (Johannesburg, September-October 2025). It provides a critical space to consolidate African positions, share practical experiences, and shape collective responses to evolving global and continental tax reforms.
