TJN was instrumental not only in promoting policy issues pertaining to global tax dodging and exposing its impact on government revenue and public service provision worldwide and development finance in developing countries. It was also equally instrumental in encouraging, and giving policy and institutional support to civil society organisations in the South to engage with the issues and join the tax justice movement to raise their voice and get involved in the struggle against tax dodging and illicit financial flows. Tax Justice Network ? Africa and other tax justice networks in the South owe a lot to this initial support.
