The aim of the support to FIC is to strengthen their technical and operational capacity in line with international standards and thereby enabling FIC to function effectively, and to enhance theirs and key stakeholders' capacity for inter-agency cooperation on AML/CTF;
The aim of the support to the Ministry of Justice of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is to enhance understanding and compliance of government officials in Ethiopia through training and awareness raising regarding AML/CFT.
A single Technical Expert Provider will be appointed to assist in the delivery of a support package to be provided by Denmark to the Ethiopian Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) and the Ethiopian Ministry of Justice. The support is based on the wish of these institutions to develop their operations effectively and efficiently and in line with international best practice on AML/CTF.
