Call summary

Overview

This project seeks to counter the ability of terrorist organizations, including ISIS-K, to exploit vulnerabilities in Tajikistan’s anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime to finance external operations targeting the U.S. Homeland and interests abroad. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has called attention to multiple deficiencies in Tajikistan’s AML/CFT regime, including terrorist financing investigations and domestic coordination capabilities. FATF has also highlighted Tajikistan’s ability to conduct parallel financial investigations is impeded due to limited ability to access and utilize financial data, legal system time constraints, and a lack of trained financial investigators. The project should provide technical assistance, a tailored curriculum, and case-based mentoring to strengthen Tajikistan’s ability to successfully investigate and prosecute terrorist financing cases, in line with FATF standards.
