Acholi women dancers gyrated in a Larakaraka dance in Kampala, Uganda, during the 4th International Conference On Tax In Africa that was organised by the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF). The delicate dance involves balancing small gourd-like objects on their heads.
Unknown to the dancers was how the dance was analogous to fiscal policy (delicate balancing of revenues and expenditure of government) that was central to the conference deliberations whose theme was “Innovation - Digitalisation and Harnessing Technology to Improve Tax Systems.”
