African Women in Leadership: ATAF Women in Tax Network gears up for leadership conference

ATAF Communication • October 1, 2021

PRETORIA – The ATAF Women in Tax Network (AWITN) is hosting a leadership conference on 7 October 2021 with the theme African Women in Leadership.


The conference has already attracted women tax practitioners, women in tax, ATAF Members, tax administrators and tax specialists.


The African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) launched the Women in Tax Network in March 2021. The AWITN is a unique platform that represents and connects African women working in taxation with furthering discussion on the effect of tax policy on gender equality and empowering women in tax. 


“This Network will be a very significant achievement in the fight for gender equality and a true milestone in ATAF’s history as it will provide leadership training and mentorship avenues to empower African women in tax” – Phillip Tchodie, Chairman of ATAF said.
