[...] It is funded by the European Union (EU), the German Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ), and the Government of Finland and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale 7 Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through the Good Financial Governance in Africa Programme. [...] This initiative is part of broader international efforts, including the Addis Tax Initiative, the resolution on the Impact of IFFs on Development Finance, and the AU Special Declaration on IFFs.
