Taxation and Development in Ghana and West Africa
Q: What are the main challenges to collecting taxes in Ghana?
A large informal sector with low formalization, a high VAT gap, online/e-commerce tax evasion, transfer pricing and money laundering risks, and low trust in government use of tax revenues.
Taxation and Development in Ghana and West Africa
Q: What is the rule of taxation in financing development in Ghana?
Tax revenue funds statutory payments (salaries, debt service, district funds, social programs), social spending to reduce poverty, flagship programs, and public goods like roads and health, stabilizing the economy.
Using data to map forest changes
Q: What does measuring deforestation differ from measuring reforestation?
Deforestation is typically more evident as it shows a stark loss of forest cover, while reforestation can be complex as it involves understanding different types of regrowth and the ecological outcomes of such efforts.
Using data to map forest changes
Q: Why do we need to measure forests?
Measuring forests is essential for understanding their properties, contributions to carbon storage, biodiversity, and how they relate to local communities and industries.
