Welcome to the third edition of the #Youth4TaxJustice Newsletter, a newsletter which is designed to share strategies on how youth can or have engaged in fiscal justice issues in Uganda.
This year, the COVID-19 pandemic created a major hindrance towards youth engagement in fiscal governance processes at the national and sub-national level. With a several month lockdown and limitation on public gatherings, majority of the initiatives took place during the last half of the year.
In recognition of the fact that the youth are a group whose voice is critical in fiscal governance processes, we continue to relay strategies on how they can voice their opinions on key issues arising and how prudent public finance management can be used as a tool to address these issues.
In this issue of the newsletter, we explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth businesses and how members of the Tax Justice Club at Kampala International University were able to conduct a Tax Justice awareness campaign within their university. Finally, we feature a showcase of youth engagements in Tax Justice Events during 2020.
