The first phase of UNU-WIDER's Domestic Revenue Mobilization (DRM) programme helped improve tax systems and strengthen the domestic capacities for revenue collection in Global South countries through seven different projects in 2020–2023. What was achieved? This Stories of Change video series shows the transformations these research and capacity development initiatives have been able to catalyse.

In this video Senior Research Fellow Corti Paul Lakuma (EPRC) explains what global corporate income tax means for low-income countries, and how his research with UNU-WIDER helps to facilitate global tax reforms in the Global South. See the working paper: https://go.unu.edu/7T0qf

For this research, Paul Lakuma and his co-author took advantage of a new tax administrative dataset, available at the Uganda Revenue research laboratory: https://go.unu.edu/g37h2
