Webinar on Nordic Tax Aid

The Addis Tax Initiative was adopted in 2015. Participant countries committed to double their aid for DRM from 2015 to 2020, stepping up DRM to reach the SDGs and to pursue policy coherence for development. Nordic countries have traditionally been leading on size and quality of official development aid, including being spearheading the ATI initiative. The ATI is expected to continue for another period 2021-2025. While commitments are still to be finalized, it is expected that reducing inequality will be one focus for the upcoming period. This is an area where Nordic countries have a wealth of experience.

The conference will take stock of the ATI with a specific focus on the Nordic countries’ contributions. It will explore the potential for cooperation and joint work based on renewed ATI-commitments and with a view to strengthening DRM-support more broadly working closely with developing partner countries.
