Yesterday, at the ongoing esaamlg's 48th Task Force Meeting of the Senior Officials meeting, CIVIPOL and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH shared a podium to present to member states the upcoming European Union-led action for Africa, dubbed SECFIN. SECFIN will contribute to the fight against IFFs linked to transnational organised crime, money laundering and terrorism financing with the goal of increasing domestic resources mobilisation, stabilisation and security in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project, funded by the European Union, Germany🇩🇪 and France🇫🇷 for 4 years, will work in 49 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The SECFIN project is slated to start activities in the last quarter of this year. Kathinka Kurz, representing Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, also presented a new regional programme, in partnership with the Africa Union, which will strengthen development financing by combating illicit financial flows and effective debt management in Africa. This project is commissioned by the German government.
