The Pan African Conference on Illicit Financial Flows (PAC) is the annual premier forum for the collective convergence of actors to discuss issues of illicit financial flows and taxation in Africa.

The Conference (PAC2024) will take place in Tunis, Tunisia from 26th – 28th June 2024, under the theme: “Africa’s Tax Agenda in Combatting Illicit Financial Flows: From Words to Action.” The theme will look at the substantial strides African countries have taken in combating IFFs considering the evolving dynamics of national, regional, and international taxation policies. It will also underscore the persistent challenges confronting the continent in its efforts to combat IFFs and highlight the commitment of actors to address those challenges. Notedly, the fight against IFFs reinforces the determination towards achieving inclusive growth and sustainable development as envisaged in the vision and aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063.

This year, the PAC is co-organized by a coalition of pan-African organisations united in the fight against IFFs. The 12th edition of the PAC will be co-hosted by the Department for Economic Development, Trade, Tourism, Industry and Minerals (ETTIM) of the African Union Commission (AUC), the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), and the Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA), in collaboration with the African Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions, (AFROSAI), the African Organization of English-speaking Supreme Audit Institutions (AFROSAI-E) and the African Organization of Public Accounts Committees (AFROPAC). The outcome of this programme will then feed into actionable report to the relevant AU Policy Organs.
