  • #Moldova 🇲🇩 Advancing on Non Profit Organisations Sector's Risk Assessment with EU Global Facility support In the past weeks, the #EUGlobalFacility experts have been actively assisting the authorities of Moldova in finalising the interim report on the Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) Sectoral Risk Assessment, as part of the partner country's commitment to the 3rd Enhanced Follow-up Procedure at MONEYVAL. What is this report and why is it important ❓ As part of its process of compliance with international #AMLCFT standards, Moldovan authorities are currently undertaking a full assessment of the terrorist financing risk to NPOs. This risk assessment, which is designed to be compliant with the update Recommendation 8 and associated guidance, should be completed in 2025. As requested by the 3rd Enhanced Follow-up Procedure at MONEYVAL, Moldova was required to submit an interim report on their progress by December 2024, which has thus been produced to reflect the current understanding of the terrorist financing risk to NPOs in Moldova. 📂 This report combines official data from reports, quantitative data obtained from official sources (i.e. evidence of that threat being eventuated) and qualitative data from a range of stakeholders. Where did the EU Global Facility come into play ? 🫱🏽🫲🏻 In line with the project's initial proposal, which was accepted by Moldovan authorities, the interim report was drafted through online consultations with EU GF experts and the onsite presence of the Key Expert on Justice/CSOs Mamuka Jgenti Following this submission, the broader Sectoral Risk Assessment exercise will continue as planned, contributing to the country's long-term AML/CFT efforts.
