A five‑day capacity‑building seminar opened on 8 June 2026 in Brazzaville under the auspices of the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF). The programme, supported by the SecFin Africa project and financed by the European Union, the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), CIVIPOL and the International Development Cooperation Agency (FIIAPP), aimed to enhance ANIF’s ability to detect and counteract financing of terrorism. Participants included ANIF staff, financial analysts and law‑enforcement officers who received instruction on risk‑based approaches, forensic financial analysis and international best practices for combating illicit fundraising. The training emphasized the importance of inter‑agency collaboration, data sharing and the application of targeted sanctions to disrupt terrorist networks. By strengthening technical expertise and operational protocols, the initiative seeks to safeguard the Republic of Congo’s financial system, prevent the abuse of financial channels for extremist purposes, and reinforce national security. The event reflects a broader commitment to align Congo’s financial governance with global counter‑terrorism standards.
