Organised over three days, the event brought together about 150 delegates, drawn from the 34 beneficiary countries. This was the opportunity to present the project to all beneficiaries, especially to the 18 new countries. Additionally, this conference provided a unique platform by bringing together officials from the Financial Intelligence Units, from the Directorates of Criminal Investigations and the Immigration authorities.
The project team used this event to encourage exchanges and meetings between participants from the three institutions, to promote effective regional, inter-regional and international cooperation in the fight against IFFs and money laundering linked to TOC and terrorist groups.
