Abstract

African nations grapple with balancing socio-economic growth and environmental preservation amid resource extraction. Taxation is advocated for revenue and environmental control. However, corruption poses a significant hurdle among duty bearers and citizens. Using a multidimensional regression strategy, this research explores corruption’s interplay with taxation policies and their impact on African sustainable development. The findings stress anti-corruption measures’ critical role in enabling effective taxation strategies for sustainable resource management across diverse African nations. Firstly, they indicate that robust anti-corruption measures significantly shape successful taxation policies for sustainable resource management. Moreso, the study underscores a strong link between reduced corruption, enhanced taxation strategies, and improved prospects for sustainable development across Africa’s sectors. Finally, it highlights the urgent need for cohesive policies and robust enforcement mechanisms to drive sustainable development in Africa’s natural resource sector.
