Building Member States’ capacity
GIABA provides targeted technical assistance to its Member States to help them establish and strengthen AML/CFT/CPF frameworks that comply with international standards. This support builds directly on the gaps identified in mutual evaluations and national risk assessments.
Our work covers the entire chain: legislation, financial intelligence units, supervisory authorities, investigative services, judges and prosecutors, and private-sector reporting entities. The aim is to give every country lasting and fully operational capacity.
