GIABA MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE ENDORSES MEMBERSHIP OF SAHEL AS NON-ECOWAS MEMBERS OF GIABA

 

      The GIABA Ministerial Committee (GMC) unanimously approved the applications of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger for admission as non-ECOWAS members of GIABA during its 2^nd Extraordinary session held on July 19, 2025, in Accra, Ghana.

    In accordance with the GIABA statute, the GMC agreed to recommend applications to the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), through the ECOWAS Council of Ministers, for their consideration and approval. The GMC is the principal decision-making organ of GIABA, comprising the Ministers of Finance, the Ministers of Internal Affairs or Security, and the Ministers of Justice of each GIABA member State.

      It would be recalled that Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso announced their exit in January 2024, and they created a confederation called the Alliance of Sahel States; however, ECOWAS granted the three departing countries a six-month grace period to reconsider their decision, which was to no avail. The withdrawal became effective on January 29, 2025, after a one-year notice period.

     The GIABA establishment statute permits it to accept non-ECOWAS member States as members, provided they meet the eligibility criteria. Currently, GIABA has two non-ECOWAS countries (Sao Tome and Principe and the Comoros Islands). GIABA presented to the GMC a Memorandum on the applications of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger for admission as non-ECOWAS members of GIABA, stressing that the three countries substantially met the eligibility requirements for GIABA membership and have expressed their willingness to fulfil their membership obligations, including financial obligations and implementation of GIABA decisions on AML/CFT/CPF issues affecting them.

 

The GMC supported the paper presented by GIABA and discussed extensively the membership applications of the three countries, including the benefits and cost of non-admission of these countries to regional peace, security and development, highlighting the fact that GIABA statutes allow the admission of non-ECOWAS members and that the countries have met the membership criteria.

Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger thanked the GMC for the unanimous decision, stressing the importance of collaboration in addressing the security threats in the region and reiterated their commitment to GIABA and willingness to meet their membership obligations.

 

Earlier in a welcome address, the Director General of GIABA, Mr. Edwin W. Harrs Jr. informed the GMC about the exit of Mali from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list in June 2025 and the onsite visit of the  Africa Joint Group of the International Cooperation Review Group of FATF to Nigeria and Burkina Faso from August 2-5, 2025, and August 7-9, 2025,  respectively. He expressed optimism that these two member States will exit from the FATF grey list in October 2025.

 

The DG further informed the GMC of the admission of the Financial Intelligence Units of The Gambia and Sierra Leone into the Egmont Group in July 2025; the invitation by FATF to the Federal Republic of Nigeria to sit as its guest member from October 2025 to October 2026; as well as the celebration of GIABA’s Silver Jubilee anniversary scheduled to hold in Monrovia in November 2025.

 

Declaring the meeting opened, Her Excellency, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang commended GIABA for its vital role in safeguarding the integrity of the regional financial systems and called on the GMC to be guided by the values that bind ECOWAS together;  the shared goals and the broader strategic direction of ECOWAS in deciding on the membership of the Sahel States.

 While urging the GMC to approach the discussions with a spirit of unity, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to strengthening regional cooperation, she reiterated that GMC’s decision will have profound implications on the future structure, reach, and efficiency of GIABA, stressing that our goal must be to ensure that GIABA remains inclusive, responsive, and capable of adapting to new and evolving threats.

The highlight of the meeting was the symbolic handing over of the Chairmanship of the GMC by Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice of Nigeria, to Mr. Sheku F. Bangura, Hon. Minister of Finance of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

The Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) is organising a 2–day seminar for ECOWAS Resident Representatives of all member States from 17 – 18 July 2025 in Accra, Ghana.

The objective of the seminar is to equip Resident Representatives with the knowledge, strategies, and networks necessary to become proactive actors in promoting AML/CFT reforms, supporting mutual evaluation processes, facilitating technical cooperation, and strengthening national AML/CFT frameworks in the region.

Furthermore, the seminar aims to build strategic alliances for effective implementation and follow-up of FATF Standards, and identify practical actions Resident Representatives can undertake to champion AML/CFT reforms and stakeholder collaboration in their respective countries.

 

Additionally, the seminar will go a long way to enhance knowledge of international, regional, and national AML/CFT/PF frameworks and GIABA’s mandate.  It will also identify practical actions Resident Representatives can undertake to champion AML/CFT reforms and stakeholder collaboration in their respective countries.

 

The themes to be covered during the seminar include: an overview of GIABA mandates, conceptual Issues and the adverse impacts of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation in West Africa, overview of the FATF Standards (Recommendations and Interpretive Notes), the outcome of the 2nd Round Mutual Evaluation and the GIABA 3rd Round of Mutual Evaluation Calendar and the Role of Resident Representatives in fostering GIABA’s Mandate in ECOWAS member States, amongst others.

 

At the end of the seminar, the following outcomes were expected:

Ø  increased awareness among ECOWAS Resident Representatives on their strategic role in supporting AML/CFT implementation.

Ø  improved coordination between GIABA and ECOWAS Resident Representatives.

Ø  identify country-specific and regional challenges, and practical recommendations for enhanced AML/CFT advocacy.

Ø  cooperation towards a strengthened commitment to support national reforms and resource mobilization aligned with GIABA’s objectives.

 

GIABA continues to engage stakeholders in all strata of society to combat money laundering, terrorism, and proliferation financing.

The Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) is set to hold an Extraordinary Session on July 19, 2025, in Accra, Ghana, to discuss the membership of the Alliance des États du Sahel (AES).

The Extraordinary Session is in line with Articles 9 and 11 of the GIABA Revised Statute as the principal decision-making organ of GIABA, comprising the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Internal Affairs or Security, and the Minister of Justice of each Signatory member State.

The session became necessary after the Sixty-seventh Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was held on 22 June 2025 in Abuja, Federal Republic of Nigeria, under the chairmanship of H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chair of the Authority.

The Authority endorses the recommendation of the Extraordinary Session of Council with respect to the appointment of a Chief Negotiator to lead the discussions with Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger to ensure an orderly withdrawal process, safeguard institutional and citizen interests, and minimising regional market disruption.

Amongst the functions of the GMC as contained in the Statutes of GIABA is to propose the issuance of formal notifications and recommend, through Council, the suspension of signatory States which fail to fulfill their obligations; the need arises.

It would be recalled that Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso announced their exit in January 2024, and they created a confederation called the Alliance of Sahel States, however, ECOWAS granted the three departing countries a six-month grace period to reconsider their decision to no avail. The withdrawal became effective on January 29, 2025, after a one-year notice period.

In tandem with the decision of the Sixty-seventh Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), GMC will adopt a formal decision on the withdrawal of the Alliance of Sahel States in relation to the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing in the region.

The Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), in collaboration with the African Development Bank (AfDB), is organizing a 4-day Regional Meeting of Chief Compliance Officers of Financial & Non-Financial Institutions on Emerging Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Issues under the West African Compliance Summit 2025 from JULY 28-31, 2025, PRAIA, CABO VERDE.

The objective of the summit is to provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on the current and emerging risks within the global compliance ecosystem, the implications of the recent changes to FATF standards, and how they can adapt and thrive in an ever-changing compliance landscape.  

Specifically, the summit will provide a platform for participants to share experiences, including identifying key challenges impeding effective implementation of AML/CFT/CPF preventive measures and best practices that will facilitate compliance by reporting institutions, and to raise awareness among the private sector on GIABA’s preparation for the 3rd round of evaluation.

A total of 196 participants from all member States are expected to attend the programme, which is targeted at Chief Compliance Officers of financial institutions and non-financial entities, heads of member FIUs, senior officials from the National Insurance Commissions, Securities and Exchange Commissions, and Central Banks across the region.

The West Africa Compliance Summit is an annual regional GIABA flagship program AND the AfDB Capacity Development Project on Anti-Money Laundering and the Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation (AML/CFT/CPF) in West Africa Transition States covers only 10 member States (Guinea Bissau, Togo, Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Comoros), hence the need for GIABA to cover the remaining seven member States as other cost elements of the Summit not covered by the AfDB funding.

As GIABA intensifies preparations for the 3rd round of mutual evaluation, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of the private sector and key regulatory authorities to proactively adapt and align their frameworks and programs with evolving risks and recent revisions to the FATF Standards and effectively support national AML/CFT efforts.

It is expected that the programme will lead to improved effectiveness in the implementation of AML/CFT/CPF preventive measures in the region, enhance the integrity and stability of the financial sector in member States, and increase awareness and preparation of the private sector for the new round of GIABA evaluation in the region.

The programme will be facilitated by international and regional experts, including GIABA faculty, through presentations, case studies, and panel discussions.

SELECTION OF A FIRM FOR THE AUDIT OF THE PAPEV GRANT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ECOWAS CENTRE FOR GENDER DEVELOPMENT (CCDG)

 

As part of its programme of activities for the year 2025, the ECOWAS Centre for Gender Development (CCDG), intends to select an accounting firm for the Audit of the accounts of the "Project to Support the Protection of Child Victims of Violations of their Rights" (PAPEV), which it is implementing.

 

The ECOWAS Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) invites interested firms to express their interest in providing the services described above. This Notice of Expressions of Interest is intended for: Duly constituted and approved firms (audit and accounting firms).

The Intergovernmental Action Group Againt Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) is to orgnise a regional workshop from 24 to 26 June 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria, to raise awareness among civil society organisations (CSOs) of the "Requirements for fighting against money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT)".

The objectives of this workshop are, among others, to advance the promotion of a relationship with civil society organisations (CSOs) involved in the fight against these scourges; to encourage CSOs to conduct outreach campaigns to influence the effective implementation of AML/CFT measures; to use their platform for the dissemination, publication and sharing of information on GIABA and AML/CFT; to effectively engage CSOs in the fight against these scourges, etc.

Combating the financing of terrorism and fighting against money laundering (AML/CFT) now more than ever requires the involvement of all stakeholders. Indeed, since 2011, GIABA's strategic priorities have included promoting strategic partnerships with the private sector, civil society and other key stakeholders. Consequently, it is crucial to raise awareness among CSOs about AML/CFT and the predicate offences with a view to adopting best AML/CFT practices.

This workshop will enhance public awareness and effective and sustainable pressure, which are essential factors in amplifying the efforts already made by GIABA at regional and national level. Experienced in the strategy of persuasion and relying on their mission of watch dogs, CSOs need to define their specific contribution to overcoming the threat of ML and the emergence of TF. In an environment where political leaders and decision-makers need to be sensitised and involved in the fight against ML/TF, civil society is the backbone for advocacy and change.

In a nutshell, CSO players will be made aware of the harmful effects of ML/TF; they will have a better understanding of GIABA's missions with a view to their increased participation in the process of lobbying decision-makers.

The meeting of CSOs will be facilitated by the GIABA Secretariat and other resource persons.

The Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), in collaboration with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), with the support of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), is organizing a 5–day Joint Assessors Training on Mutual Evaluation Exercises for ECOWAS Anglophone Speaking Countries from May 5^th – 9^th, 2025, at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra, Ghana.

The objective of the training is to build the capacity of the relevant officials to enable them to conduct mutual evaluations in accordance with the FATF Standards on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism & Proliferation, using the revised FATF Methodology for assessing technical compliance and the Effectiveness of AML/CFT systems.

 

A key aspect of GIABA’s mandate is to conduct mutual evaluation exercises of its member States to assess their compliance with the Standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF Recommendations) against money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (AML/CFT/CPF)(FATF Standards) and effectiveness of their AML/CFT/CPF systems.

The mutual evaluation process identifies the progress and constraints of assessed countries in implementing the FATF standards. The exercise is important to the assessed country as it provides information to the international community about its legal, financial and governance and facilitates the inflow of foreign direct investment. It also enables assessment bodies and technical partners to determine the type of assistance required by assessed countries to improve their AML/CFT/CPF systems.

The FATF has revised its standards to address new and emerging threats, clarify and strengthen many existing obligations, and maintain stability and rigour in the Recommendations. The FATF has also amended its assessment Methodology and commenced its 5th round of evaluations under this Methodology. FATF-Style Regional Bodies (FSRBs), including GIABA, are expected to progressively use the revised Standards and new Methodology for their next rounds of evaluations.

 

Towards ensuring a consistent high standard of training across the Global Network to enhance the quality of potential mutual evaluation assessors for the new rounds of mutual evaluations for the Global Network (including GIABA’s third round), GIABA, in cooperation with the FATF (through its Training Institute) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ), is organising a training for officials who will participate in mutual evaluations to be conducted by the FATF and FATF Style Regional Bodies (FSRBs) as assessors or reviewers.

The target participants of the training include officials from FATF and GIABA, as well as the Global Network, who possess first-hand AML/CFT/CPF expertise in the fields of legal, financial, and law enforcement, and nominated or potentially nominated as assessors or reviewers.

The themes for the Workshop will include, The Mutual Evaluation Process, Risk and Context, Assessing Technical Compliance & Effectiveness, Introduction to the Immediate Outcomes, Data and Statistics and Writing and Presenting Mutual Evaluation, including Key Findings, Key Recommended Actions (KRAs) and KRA Roadmap etc.

The workshop will be delivered by a team of experienced experts and practitioners from the

GIABA and FATF Secretariats, through presentations, experience sharing and a mock mutual evaluation exercise.
