What has Africa learnt from the effects of COVID-19 on development and international relations?

Prof. Attiya Waris’ book titled "Financing Africa" is a culmination of research undertaken over a ten year period. The book serves as a commentary on taxation and how taxpayers' money is used as well as a guide to understanding public finances in Africa. It creates an opportunity to widen the knowledge base in developing countries; specifically, on how Africa's fiscal systems were intended to and can subsequently be used to support development and alleviate poverty.
