This document summarizes a training session on understanding the linkages between corruption, taxation, and illicit financial flows in Africa. The objectives of the session are outlined, including understanding how corruption and weak legal frameworks can exacerbate illicit financial flows and reduce tax revenue. Specific factors that contribute to the corruption-taxation-illicit financial flows link are discussed, such as weak laws, political accountability, and tax havens. Global and regional responses to curbing these issues are also reviewed. Case studies and exercises are used to illustrate how corruption can occur at different stages of business operations and value chains. Recommendations are made around tools and capacity building to strengthen efforts to address these economic and governance challenges in Africa.
