FATF Dialogue Concludes with New Reforms

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 8 has been the focus of a three-day dialogue in Africa, with Nigerian delegates joining other countries to strengthen financial inclusion for non-profit organisations (NPOs) while preventing money laundering and terrorism financing. The event, themed 'Implementing FATF Recommendation 8 Correctly: Practices, Lessons Learned and Opportunity for Reform,' brought together participants from across Africa, including Nigeria.

'We hope to sustain the vibrant friendships and connections we have built over the last three days. 'The reward for good work is more work, and we look forward to working even harder with all our partners,' Executive Director of Spaces for Change, Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri, said.

Over 60 speakers participated in the event, including government agencies, development partners, international organisations, civil society organisations, and private institutions.
