The International Tax Compact (ITC) facilitates the secretariats of the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) and the Network of Tax Organisations (NTO). It is driven by the vision of fair, efficient and transparent tax systems for sustainable development and aims to strengthen the effectiveness of results-oriented initiatives in the area of tax and development by facilitating and supporting networking, knowledge sharing and multi-level cooperation within and across initiatives in an impartial manner.

As the host of the secretariats of these international initiatives with members distributed globally, the ITC’s work relies on sound, effective, and compelling communication within its initiatives as well as in the broader networks on taxation and development.

The ITC is part of the GIZ Sector Programme Good Financial Governance (SP GFG).
