Press Release
For Immediate Release
NAIROBI, Kenya, November 7, 2025
From 10 to 19 November, governments will meet for the third session of negotiations on a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation and its two early protocols.
Policy Forum expresses deep concern over the loss of lives and human rights violations that occurred in the aftermath of the 2025 General Election. We mourn with fellow Tanzanians for those who lost their lives and extend solidarity to all affected families.
We are alarmed by credible reports of excessive use of force by police and security agencies against civilians. Such actions undermine public trust and contradict the duty of law enforcement to protect citizens and uphold the rule of law.
The Coalition on Rights to Information (CoRI) expresses its deep concern and strongly condemns the 90-day suspension of JamiiForums, a Tanzanian online platform that facilitates public discourse and whistleblowing, imposed today, September 6, 2025 by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA).
In 2015, governments across the world made a Commitment to Reduce Inequality Index (CRII) through the Sustainable Development Goals (especially SDG 10). The different levels of inequality that exist in countries show that inequality is far from inevitable; rather, it is the product of policy choices made by governments.
[Nairobi, Kenya-1 August 2025] The African Civil Society Organisations Working Group on the UN Tax Convention coordinated by Tax Justice Network Africa is calling for global tax equity as Intergovernmental Committee proceeds towards its first and second substantive sessions on developing the text of the the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (UNFTIC) in New York, from 4-8 August 2025 and 11-15 August 2025, respectively.
WAJIBU and Policy Forum have officially launched the 2023/24 Accountability Reports at an event held in Dodoma, marking a critical step towards strengthening good governance, enhancing transparency, and combating corruption, embezzlement, and fraud in the management of public finances.
As Tanzania pushes aggressively to boost domestic resource mobilisation, the 2025/26 national budget emerges as both a beacon of ambition and a mirror reflecting unfinished battles. While the government’s focus on expanding revenue streams and tightening tax incentive management signals progress, it stops short of confronting the systemic bleed caused by illicit financial flows. This silent drain, through trade misinvoicing, tax avoidance, and corruption, remains the overlooked challenge undermining the country’s fiscal foundations.
Government officials, Members of the Parliament, civil society organisations, journalists and development partners gathered in Dodoma on Monday, 12th May 2025, to discuss how Tanzania can curb the ongoing loss of public funds through illicit financial flows (IFFs).
