With sharply receding aid and rising debt, lower income countries are being pushed to raise more revenue domestically. But how can this be done in ways that are not only effective and feasible, but equitable and accountable? How can development partners engage in what is now the tax era of development? This session brings together perspectives from research, civil society, donors, and government institutions to explore what tax and accountability mean in the post-aid era and how domestic and international actors- including IFIs like the World Bank- can work together to shape more just and resilient public finance systems.
