The EU Global Facility is also in Mozambique 🇲🇿 this week, delivering activities to enhance the partner country’s capacity to meet International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) requirements.
The strategic approach activities, led by our Key Expert on Regulation/FIU Arnaud STIEN aims to address the pressing needs of Mozambican authorities, specifically in the key areas of national coordination and ICRG reporting and the gaming sector.
The four-day programme has a dual-fold purpose:
✅ National Coordination Committee and Gaming Supervisors Capacity Building: The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance Mozambique’s authorities’ comprehension of the ICRG requirements and to reinforce a culture of compliance with these standards.
Experts will do so by delivering briefing sessions on strategic approaches, coordination and cooperation mechanisms, as well as the implementation of Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) strategies and policies.
In parallel, a training will be targeted at the gaming sector, whereby participants will learn about the application of a risk-based approach to Gaming Supervisors and casinos will engage to best understand their risks and obligations.
✅ ICRG Monitoring Cycle and Joint Group Reporting: The sessions will delve into the specific actions required at each stage of the ICRG monitoring cycle and provide comprehensive training on reporting to the Joint Group.
In addition, a dedicated session will engage senior officials in discussions regarding the operation of the Technical Assistance Coordination Committee (TACC) and the Technical Assistance (TA) matrix.
This project is funded by the European Union.
