NETRIGHT’s work on SCUT III focuses on advancing gender equitable tax regime by promoting a fair and transparent tax system. Using a gender and intersectionality lens, the project seeks to empower CSOs and the media to advocate for a gender-responsive tax system that ensures equal opportunities and resources for all citizens. With the support of trained tax justice champions, local communities will be engaged on gender equality and tax-related matters and encourage citizen participation in governance and tax-related decisions. In addition, the project intends to engage and influence policymakers to enact gender-responsive tax policies that consider the specific needs and challenges faced by women in Ghana.
