Project Name: Good Financial Governance (GFG)
The ‘Sector Programme Good Financial Governance’ is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) on behalf of the German Ministry For Economic Cooperation and Development [BMZ] and co-funded by the European Union. The Sector Programme advises BMZ on conceptual and methodological aspects in topic related to public finances such as taxation, budget, administrative reforms and financial control. The International Tax Compact is a component of the sector programme and focuses on providing secretarial services for result-oriented initiatives in the area of tax and development. The Network of Tax Organisations (NTO) is one of these initiatives, it is a network of regional and international tax organisations that aims to develop and promote effective tax systems to contribute to the well-being of people. It acts as a global platform for the exchange of experiences, knowledge, and best practices on tax administration matters. The NTO has achieved major milestones in its institutionalisation and frequently hosts hybrid and virtual events for the purposes of networking and peer-learning. One of these flagship events is the 2nd NTO Technical Conference.
