Integrity Organization Trains Civil Society Organisations & Media on Illicit Financial Flows
As part of its partnership with Action Aid Nigeria and with support from UK Aid, the Integrity Organization Ltd (Gte) hosted a 2-day training for representatives from civil society organizations and the media on Illicit Financial Flows between 25th-28th September 2019.
Due to the fact that developing countries are estimated to lose about 1 trillion US Dollars to illicit financial flows (IFFs) annually, the training targeted those stakeholders who are best positioned to engage in the fight against IFFs by uncovering the schemes being used and bringing them to the awareness of the public.
Thirty-four participants were in attendance and trained on the history and effects of IFFs, as well as how the concerted efforts of the government, media and the private sector can be harnessed to reducing the prevalence and negative effects of these illicit financial flows, particularly on developing countries like Nigeria.
