West Africa’s Intergovernmental Action Group against Money
Laundering (GIABA) on Tuesday concluded a regional sensitization workshop for
Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on AML/CFT in the Senegalese capital of
Dakar.
The August 6-7, 2012 event is meant to sensitize civil society
organizations on AML/CFT issues and related implications in the West African
sub-region; to get members of the civil society actively committed to their
role as champions against these twin scourges by spreading the message at
grassroots level; to establish links and a solid network of CSOs engaged in the
fight as a means of sharing experiences and knowledge within the sub-region;
and finally, to build the capacity of CSOs and empower them to take ownership
of the fight against ML/FT.
