The Director FIU, Mr. David N. Borbor dilated on workplan already set in motion for 2020 but only remote assistance received now from U.S. OTA intermittent advisors Chris Wondra, Jeff Cooper and others.
The essence of the meeting was to discuss the following:
- To communicate what the Unit is currently doing and the challenges facing the FIU to combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Sierra Leone.
- To solicit support from the Embassy in providing technical assistance to the Unit especially in the area of ICT.
- To help strengthen the capacity of the FIU through training and mentorship programs.
The FIU continues to work with international partners including the U.S. Office of Technical Assistance (OTA) to build institutional capacity and enhance the effectiveness of financial intelligence operations in Sierra Leone.
