Annex 03 Tax Campaign Strategic Discussion and Bestyrelsen skal på sit møde den 22 marts vedtage et papir om det politiske grundlag og kampagnestrategi for en MS skattekampagne. På dette møde skal Bestyrelsen diskutere og godkende præmisserne for udarbejdelse af dette papir. Sekretariatets udspil til præmisser for skattekampagne i MS: En skattekampagne i MS skal tage udgangspunkt i eksisterende AA papirer på skatteområdet (bilag 03.01 og 03.02) Vores skattekampagne skal koble til good governance og bekæmpelse af ulighed og fattigdom. Vi ønsker at vores skattekampagne skal have et stærkt sydophæng og være veldokumenteret med cases fra syd og eksemplarisk i kampagnesamarbejde med netværk i syd. Vores skattekampagne skal have klare politiske målsætninger så vi konkret kan dokumentere opnåede resultater. Vores skattekampagne skal levere added value i forhold til det andre som andre organisationer i DK laver om skat. Vores skattekampagne skal afspejle vores forandringsteori med fokus på mobilisering og oplysning og skal i høj grad engagere og basere sig på unge menneskers engagement og stillingtagen.
