Between the 19th to 23rd April 2021, the Centre in collaboration with African Development Bank and Basel Institute on Governance conducted a virtual training programme on Financial Investigations and Asset Recovery. Nineteen (19) investigators and legal officers from thirteen (13) countries attended the programme whose primary focus was to train officers on domestic and international anti-money laundering frameworks, financial investigations and asset recovery. Mutual legal assistance was also a critical component of the training programme.

Resource persons were Ms. Phyllis Atkinson (Head of Training, ICAR), Messrs. Thierry Ravalomanda (Senior Asset Recovery Specialist) and Tom Walugembe (Asset Recovery Specialist) who are experts from the International Centre for Asset Recovery, Basel Institute on Governance. Topics covered include Overview of Laundering, Mutual Legal Assistance, and Asset Tracing and Recovery mechanisms, Elements of the crime, Financial Investigative approaches and Indirect Method of proving illegal income. The five days training was conducted through presentations, practical exercises in the form of a simulated investigation (Group work/videoconference/break-out sessions) and eLearning assignments.

At the end of the training participants completed evaluation forms and confirmed that they were provided with the required guidance needed to conduct financial investigation with the goal of recovering assets hidden in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions.
