Description
The International Centre for Tax & Development (ICTD) occasionally issues calls for research proposals in specific areas and provides guidance on responding. Based within the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, the Centre works to improve tax policy and administration in lower-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting equitable and efficient revenue generation for public services.
ICTD strongly encourages collaboration and co-production between Northern and Southern partners, and between researchers, tax officials and tax policymakers. Ideally, collaborators contribute throughout research design, implementation, data analysis and writing up, rather than at only one stage. Ethical research practice is central to the programme, with researchers responsible for following ICTD’s Ethics Guideline and relevant academic or professional guidance.
