This five-module course examines what good governance in taxation actually means in practice — from the legal foundations of a transparent tax system to the institutional mechanisms that hold fiscal power to account. It covers the principles of tax governance, the architecture of accountability, beneficial ownership and financial transparency, the role of civil society in fiscal oversight, and how governments can design and implement tax systems that are not only efficient but publicly legitimate. Built for policymakers, civil servants, and civil society practitioners.

The digital economy is generating billions in revenue from markets that are barely taxed. This five-module course unpacks why — and what governments can do about it. From understanding the architecture of the digital economy and its business models, to examining existing international tax frameworks and their limitations, to confronting the specific challenges facing African jurisdictions, to exploring how states can assert their taxing rights in a rapidly evolving landscape — this course takes the learner from foundational concepts to frontier policy. It is technical, it is grounded in African realities, and it is built for tax administrators, policymakers, revenue authority officials, and civil society practitioners who need more than theory.
