“Fariya is not simply a tax expert and advocacy strategist; she is a visionary builder who infuses every program with energy, technical rigor, and an unwavering commitment to social justice.

She was a principal architect of IBP’s Tax Equity Initiative, breathing life into what began as a nascent Africa regional program and scaling it into one of the organization’s most dynamic global portfolios. She mentored and empowered Senior Program Officers across four African countries, enabling them to build deep alliances with grassroots groups while elevating IBP’s influence in global tax governance. As a certified facilitator, she also designed and led dozens of transformative workshops, demystifying complex public finance concepts for audiences ranging from grassroots organizers to United Nations delegates. Fariya combines sharp strategic thinking, profound technical expertise, and authentic passion for grassroots empowerment with world-class facilitation skills.”

“Fariya is an exceptional strategic thinker, facilitator, and collaborator. I worked with her at the International Budget Partnership on initiatives related to debt accountability and budget credibility, and also engaged closely with work she led on tax equity. Across these different areas, I was consistently impressed by the depth and care she brought to complex systemic questions, and by her ability to guide colleagues through difficult and consequential organizational discussions in a genuinely collaborative way. Fariya combines strategic insight with an unusual ability to build relationships and move day-to-day work forward. She is an exceptionally warm, generous, and inspiring partner, and it is always a pleasure to collaborate with her.”

“Working with Fariya, both as a colleague and as her manager, was consistently reassuring in the way that only genuine competence can be. She joined a complex, multi-country programme and quickly took ownership of her portfolio with minimal need for oversight or handholding, absorbing the many moving parts, multiple CSOs, donor requirements, varied country contexts - and quickly organizing them into something manageable.

Where Fariya really distinguished herself is as a facilitator. She has an instinct for reading a room: sensing when a discussion needs more space to breathe, when participants need a different kind of prompt, or when the agenda itself needs to flex to serve the people in it – then adapts in real time rather than sticking rigidly to a plan. That flexibility, paired with her underlying organization and rigour, meant that the learning events and workshops she led didn’t just run smoothly; they produced genuine engagement and usable outcomes for participants across very different country contexts. The impact of that combination, meticulous preparation and responsive, people-centered facilitation, showed up in the quality and uptake of the learning exchanges she led. I count her as one of the strongest facilitators I’ve worked with in this space.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working alongside Fariya Mohiuddin at Tax Justice UK. Fariya possesses an exceptional blend of technical tax policy expertise, rigorous and attention to detail, a generous and collaborative approach to movement campaigning, and effective leadership skills. Her policy knowledge spans complex areas including extreme wealth, property tax reform, global avoidance mechanisms, illicit financial flows and international tax cooperation. As my Line Manager and Team Lead, Fariya consistently empowered her team, balancing care and support with the space and autonomy necessary to help us grow. This fostered a team culture rooted in trust, shared power, open communication and effective collaboration. I strongly recommend Fariya for any leadership or strategic role relating to technical research, policy advocacy, coalition convening, or movement campaigning.”

Caitlin Boswell

Deputy Director (External Affairs), Tax Justice UK

“I’ve witnessed Fariya’s leadership and facilitation practice in action when we were both at Tax Justice UK. She’s an incredibly empowering leader, coaching and championing colleagues to build their expertise and grow their own leadership skills. When she facilitates, she injects fun while keeping people focused on purpose, and creates spaces that are inclusive and safe. If you’re looking for someone that is visionary and operational, Fariya is just the right fit.”

Former Interim Executive Director, Tax Justice UK

“Fariya has a flexible and fresh approach to facilitation. Fariya [also] ensures clarity of purpose and outcomes in training preparation. She is highly knowledgeable about the issues and the advocacy spaces. Her training gave clear direction for how to understand the issues and where to seek further support/ information. She is able to gauge her audience and to adjust accordingly. Highly recommended for any training on tax / budget justice and any related issues.”
