INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND COLLABORATION

The significance of International Cooperation and collaboration in the fight against money laundering, terrorist financing and associated predicate crimes cannot be overemphasized. It is against this backdrop that the Forum of FIUs of the GIABA Member States was established in the year 2013 to strive in expanding cooperation, collaboration and synergies with AML/CFT/CPF stakeholders and other Development Partners towards improving the operational effectiveness and efficiencies of FIUs within the West African region through training and capacity building, technical support and assistance, information and intelligence exchange/sharing, Mutual Legal Agreement, and asset tracing, forfeiture & recovery.

Consequently, in exercising its mandate as stipulated in its charter, the Forum also supports the efforts of other international stakeholders on AML/CFT/CPF such as UNODC, GlobE Network, GIZ, Egmont Group, WCO, etc
