Negotiators from 193 countries are deciding how African governments fund , and for decades to come.

Young people rarely get a seat at that table. Yet programs, education and job creation all depend on what gets agreed in these rooms.

Written submissions on the current drafts close at the end of August, ahead of the sixth negotiating session in Nairobi later this year.

Follow along. Ask questions. Push your own government to take a strong position in these talks.

A system that finally works for people, not just profits, will not build itself.

Africa loses billions every year because global tax rules were built for a world with no internet.

A tech company can earn millions from African users and pay zero tax here, simply because it has no office on the continent. The rules meant to fix this are being rewritten right now at the UN, and the language keeps getting weaker exactly where Africa needs it strongest.

YTJN's Ssemujju Lewis broke down what is really happening in these negotiations. The fight over one word that could decide who gets to tax digital giants. The treaty loophole that could allow old imbalances to persist. The dispute process that risks costing African tax offices more than it recovers.

And the five things the final deal must deliver for African youth actually to see the benefit.

Yesterday, YTJN met and engaged with Hon. Lakisa Mercy Faith, MP, Minister of State for Gender, Labour and Social Development (Youth and Children Affairs), Republic of Uganda.

We proposed several ways to work with her office, including but not limited to a Youth Fiscal Justice Desk, an Annual Youth Budget Score, and Youth fiscal literacy delivered through district youth councils.

Uganda has one of the youngest populations in the world and a revenue base too narrow to serve it.

For nine years, YTJN has worked to close that gap: nine years of submissions on Uganda's Tax Bills with TJAU, a role in Uganda's beneficial ownership regime, and a seat at the table on the UN Tax Convention. Laws changed, not just papers written.

Different contexts. Common aspirations.

A young person's postal code should not decide their future. Where you live may shape your school system, your job market, your climate risk. But your right to fair public resources, spent transparently and accountably, does not change with your address.

Tax Justice is Youth Justice.

This International Youth Day, we celebrate every young person demanding a seat at the table where decisions about public money get made.

Global solidarity. Shared challenges. Youth innovation. This is our work, every day.

One of the biggest highlights from the national convening throughout last week was the takeover by school-going children across Uganda speaking on Climate Change from their lens.

Here, Jennifer defines and speaks about the most immediate issues she has seen.

Day 2⃣ of the 5⃣th session began where Day 1 left off, with stakeholders having their say on Article 5, the article that could fundamentally reshape who gets to tax what. But the real fireworks came when delegates moved to Article 6 on high-net-worth individuals and Article 7 on illicit financial flows ( ).

The theme of the day? Weakening vs. strengthening. Throughout the afternoon, a clear pattern emerged: some countries argued that key articles had been "watered down" from earlier drafts, while others welcomed the changes as more balanced and cooperative.

The fifth session of negotiations for a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (framework convention) kicked off on 3 August 2026, in New York, and this time, it's different.

For the first time ever, delegates have a complete draft text of the framework convention to work with. As the Committee Chair, Ramy M. Youssef of Egypt, put it, we've moved from "discussing concepts" to "examining concrete provisions". This is the moment where words on paper start becoming real rules that could shape how countries tax multinational corporations and wealthy individuals.

But here's the catch: the text is a "zero draft," meaning nothing is settled. Provisions are still up for debate, and the absence of a proposal doesn't mean it can't be added. The next two weeks will be intense.
