15 and 16 October 2009, Warsaw, Poland. DAG was invited to participate in the UN-Habitat Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe Regional Conference on Property and Land Taxation in Warsaw, Poland. DAG was the only Southern NGO to present a paper at the conference, entitled: Financing affordable housing and infrastructure in cities: towards innovative land and property taxation system. DAG’s paper focussed on land and property tax as a means to access housing, land and infrastructure in the South African context. The conference was an opportunity to learn and exchange lessons on policies and mechanisms in land and property taxation, to develop DAG’s networks with international experts in the field and garner international support for DAG’s research and advocacy work in value capture and urban land management.
