FAFT PROJECT

Project Summary

Civic Engagement on the Financial Action Task Force Evaluation of Nigeria was a project implemented between Y2016- Y2018 by the Nigeria Network of NGOs with the support of the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA).

The project focused on creating space for effective engagement of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the FATF evaluation of Nigeria while ensuring proper sensitization was carried out among CSOs on FATF recommendations and its impact on their work.

At implementation, research on Nigerian laws that affect the operation of the civil society sector was conducted, conferences that focused on awareness creation on FATF and its recommendations among CSOs were organised while NGOs were convened across two regions in the country for capacity building workshops and engagement with the FATF mutual evaluation process, among others.
