In this blog, the ICTD speaks with Jane Nalunga, Executive Director of SEATINI Uganda to learn about the organisation’s quest for tax justice and how it has enhanced the voices of citizens to demand accountability and effectively participate in fiscal policies.
Can you provide us with a brief background of your organisation’s work?
Nalunga: For over 10 years now, SEATINI Uganda has focused on promoting fair and inclusive fiscal policies and strategies for revenue mobilisation, allocation, utilisation and accountability for sustainable development.
The discourse on Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM) is critical for low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda. DRM not only provides governments with funds needed to invest in development, alleviate poverty and deliver public services, but is also a critical step on the path out of aid dependence to sustainable development financing.
