Global initiatives such as the Sevilla Commitment and the emerging UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation highlight the urgent need for stronger and fairer international tax coordination. By addressing illicit financial flows, protecting taxing rights, and strengthening domestic resource mobilization, these reforms aim to reduce inequalities and support more inclusive and equitable tax governance systems.

At the heart of this global reform agenda lies a critical objective: enhancing states’ capacity to finance and deliver effective social protection systems. Strengthened tax systems are essential to securing living incomes, advancing gender equality, and promoting long-term social justice.

This event will examine how the Sevilla Commitments and the proposed UN Framework Convention can help developing countries expand their tax bases, improve compliance, and build more sustainable and equitable social security systems.
