The Inter Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa has announced a regional workshop in Lagos, Nigeria, from 24 to 26 June 2025 to raise awareness among civil society organisations of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism requirements. The workshop is intended to strengthen civil society’s role in supporting AML/CFT compliance through outreach, advocacy and wider dissemination of information on GIABA and AML/CFT measures. GIABA framed the initiative as part of its longer-standing strategy of building partnerships with civil society and other stakeholders. The workshop will aim to deepen CSOs’ understanding of money laundering, terrorist financing and related predicate offences, encourage them to run campaigns that support effective implementation of AML/CFT measures, and increase their participation in lobbying political leaders and decision-makers. GIABA said the event will be facilitated by its Secretariat and other resource persons.
