Description
OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann will open the morning session of this conference, to which all GACIF participants attending onsite are invited to join.
Please note that the lunchtime and afternoon sessions, starting at 1.00pm are closed-door, by invitation only.
As criminal networks increasingly exploit global supply chains, cross-border money-laundering schemes, and digital tools to expand and diversify their activities, the threat they pose to society and the economy – through corruption and coercion – has intensified. Building resilience to organised crime’s influence over the public and private sectors has therefore become a top priority for countries around the world. Meeting this challenge requires a strategic approach that goes beyond strengthening law enforcement capacity to include closer institutional cooperation and stronger anti-corruption tools. This conference will explore how countries can design and implement policy responses that address the complex dynamics of organised crime-driven corruption.
