• This track is private.

 

Hello, welcome back to this special podcast series featuring the International Monetary Fund’s Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) – Gender Initiative, Gender and Revenue Administration. I am Wofai Ibiang from the TADAT Secretariat.

Last time, we heard from the Vice President of Ecuador Maria Alejandra Muñoz and Jamaica’s Chief Executive Officer and Commissioner of the Customs Agency, Velma Ricketts-Walker who shared their experiences leading customs agencies.

In this second episode of the series, FAD’s Debra Adams, Division Chief of the Revenue Administration Division 1, leads a conversation with two tax administration leaders. Mr. Fathuhulla Jameel is the Commissioner General of Taxation at the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority (MIRA) and Ms. Mirela Călugăreanu is the President of the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (NAFA) in Romania. They both speak on how their organizations’ Human Resource policies are facilitating women’s participation in tax administration and also underscore the broader role of governments in fostering equal opportunities.

Ms. Călugăreanu cites the Equal Opportunity Agency in Romania and Mr. Jameel highlights how the National Action Plan in the Maldives is advancing women’s participation in leadership.
