A five days training on
‘financial analysis techniques for Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) and
their partner agencies from The Gambia and Sierra Leone’ will further enhance
the operational capacity of FIUs, the organisers say.
The United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime, UNODC, says the June 30-July 4 course will foster synergies
with key partner agencies in The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Ghana –
which made up the course participants.
“FIUs are a key player when
it comes to anti-money laundering and counter-financing terrorism, AML/CFT, as
they form the link between both components,” Ludovic D’HOORE of UNODC says on
Monday at an international hotel in Banjul, the Gambian capital.
