Demand for ICAR training courses continues to grow
The International Centre for Asset Recovery training team has been busy with a series of training workshops in financial investigation, asset recovery and related themes in Romania, Ukraine, Tanzania and Namibia.
We have also kicked off a long-term training programme in Malawi. This serves a lead-up to the Malawi ICAR Academy, which is being conceptualised in the context of the DFID-funded and ICAR-implemented Tackling Serious Organised Corruption programme.
In addition to continuing to build capacity in core areas of asset recovery and financial investigation, we have had a positive response to our training in new modular topics such as money laundering using Bitcoin. The Bitcoin workshop was first delivered to law enforcers in Indonesia as part of our current longer-term capacity-building initiative there.
In line with our strategy of tailoring training courses to local needs, we have also developed a three-day version of our financial investigation and asset recovery training course for prosecutors in Peru, which is planned to be repeated later this year.
