Women Leaders in Tax Transparency - Building a network of women officials championing tax transparency in their tax administrations

ABOUT

Since 2011, the Secretariat of the Global Forum has been providing capacity-building assistance to its members and reducing gender gaps in member jurisdictions is one of the goals of the Global Forum’s capacity-building strategy. As part of this effort, the Secretariat started mainstreaming gender equality considerations and monitoring the gender balance of its capacity-building activities, in particular trainings.

The Women Leaders in Tax Transparency programme further reinforces this ambition. Twenty-two women from 22 developing countries took part in the 2022 pilot programme.

Following the success of the pilot, the Global Forum launched a new edition of the programme in 2023.
