Over three unforgettable days, voices from across Africa and beyond came together with one shared purpose; to strengthen the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism while safeguarding civic space.

Representatives from civil society, non-profit organizations, governments, the African Union, Regional Economic Communities, regional bodies, FATF-style regional bodies, Financial Intelligence Units, financial institutions, academia, and the media gathered to share ideas, experiences, and practical efforts to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The discussions also addressed the unintended consequences of AML/CFT regulations on civic space and explored avenues for deeper collaboration in the collective fight against these threats.
