Financing Africa’s development requires ingenuity, discipline, and an understanding of fiscal systems—the totality of government revenues and expenditures, including taxes and debt. This book makes what may seem complex at first glance fascinating. It describes various approaches that have been tailored to local circumstances across the continent and reflects on the drive to unite and harmonize African Union. Africa is rich, but resources are lost due to gaps in fiscal systems. Financial resources come from the people, are not unlimited, and do not arrive easily or cost-free. Africans must, therefore, value these resources and use them to build the nation and promote national and regional development. Efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable fiscal systems that are fair and equitable will contribute greatly to financing Africa’s development. Using examples from all 54 African countries, the book makes tax issues real and understandable for people, regardless of their background. It demonstrates the importance of tax legislation and policy for development and the impact they have on individuals, communities, nations, regional groups, and the continent.
