UNDP Tax for Sustainable Development Goals Initiative Annual Report Summary

The UNDP Tax for SDGs Initiative aims to strengthen tax systems to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its work enhances domestic resource mobilization, enforces progressive policies, and promotes transparency and accountability in governance.

Key Achievements in 2024

• Increased Revenue Collection: The Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) program ran programs in 59 countries and jurisdictions, generating $2.4 billion in additional tax revenues and $6.39 billion in tax assessments.
• Framework Development: The SDG Taxation Framework (STF) supported 374 officials in 16 countries who deepened their integration with SDGs through diagnostics and policy realignment.
• Progressive Taxation: Reforms included higher taxes on sugary drinks, tobacco, and carbon taxes in countries like Sri Lanka, Armenia, Namibia, and France.
• Gender-Responsive Fiscal Policies: The initiative integrated SDG 5 into tax systems, offering country-specific training and toolkits for gender-responsive tax policy.

Country Engagement

• 25 countries received full support, and another 5 countries collaborated independently.
• Countries such as Botswana, Angola, Namibia, Zambia, and Kenya advanced digitalization and STF diagnostics for tax reforms. Multi-country peer-to-peer learning exchanged experiences and best practices.

Partnerships

• The initiative collaborated with forums like the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), OECD, IMF, and the World Customs Organization.
• Successful South-South cooperation included Angola-Brazil TIWB collaboration and digital services training in Saint Lucia.

Future Work
