It is a specialised institution of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) responsible for facilitating the adoption and implementation of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) in West Africa.
It is also a FATF-Styled Regional Body (FSRB) working with its member States to ensure compliance with international AML/CFT standards. GIABA – Welcome !
The Director-General of GIABA commends the commitment and resilience of the staff, which reflected in a successful programme implementation in 2025.
The two-day seminar saw programme planning completed for another engaging and impactful year of offering services to GABA member states in the fight against Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Proliferation.
