Terrorism Financing
CGCC has been at the forefront of efforts to consider how anti–money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) efforts interact with other regulatory and policy objectives. CGCC is working with the United Nations on a project designed to assess and raise awareness of the risk of terrorist abuse of the nonprofit sector in different regions around the world. CGCC has also engaged in efforts to improve regulation of remittances and to build AML/CFT capacity more broadly in East Africa and other regions.
