Liat Shetret of the Global Center on Co-operative Security has been working on the Global Center program on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Technical Assistance Support to the MENA Region, with focus on Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq. As part of that project, Global Center worked with the Iraqi Authorities to develop and draft its National AML/CFT Strategy which was finalised and adopted in 2017.
Following an initial workshop, a second workshop titled “From Strategy to Practice: Implementing the Iraqi National AML/CFT Strategy - Part II” was held in Amman to develop an action plan for the implementation of the National Strategy. Arvinder Sambei was invited to participate and facilitate the roundtable discussions and help shape the implementation plan.
