Ucizi Ngulube - A Zambian Perspective on Tax Justice

Ucizi Ngulube, Project Coordinator for TaxEd Alliance and ActionAid Zambia, joined us to highlight issues, such as how servicing exorbitant legacy debts to the Global North heavily suppresses social spending in countries like Zambia.

Ucizi presents a Zambian perspective on tax justice, education financing in developing countries, and the role multi-national corporations and Global North governments play in perpetuating tax abuse on the African continent.

Ucizi’s presentation is important viewing for anyone seeking to learn more about debt servicing in Africa, the predatory nature of international financial institutions, and how these neo-colonial conditions impact human rights and equality on the ground.

“Presenting the Zambian perspective to colleagues in Ireland was both timely and symbolic. As conversations on global tax reform grow louder, highlighting how illicit financial flows and unfair tax incentives affect countries like ours felt especially relevant given Ireland’s influential role in global financial policy. It reminded us why international solidarity is essential to achieving true tax justice.” Ucizi Ngulube, ActionAid Zambia
