BASELINE STUDY ON:
“THE IMPACT OF GHANA’S AML/CFT MEASURES ON NPOs”
The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) wishes to invite you to cover and participate in a validation workshop on the “Impact of Ghana’s AML/CFT Measures on NPOs” which will take place on Thursday 6th July 2023 from 10 am to 12 pm.
The Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering (GIABA)’s Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) in 2019, rated Ghana as non-compliant to FATF’s Recommendation 8. GIABA was particularly concerned that Ghana’s regulatory framework was porous and exposed the NPOs to the abuse of money laundering and financing terrorist activities. Consequently, in 2020, Ghana was blacklisted by the European Union (EU) due to weak anti-money laundering and terrorist financing policy and legislative measures.
