It increased the participants’ capacities in planning and conducting quality risk analysis.
The training focused on improving their knowledge of the methodological approach for the intelligence cycle and various stages of conducting strategic analysis (collection, collation, evaluation, reporting, and disseminating), developing their skills in conducting strategic analysis through dynamic and interactive case studies. It also shared best international practices on conducting strategic analysis and current trends as well as typologies in this area.
To be in compliance with the FATF effectiveness standards, the FIU requested the Council of Europe’assistance through the Central Asia Rule of Law Programme. The objective was to strengthen the national AML/CFT/PF framework by conducting strategic analysis training and developing guidelines on undertaking strategic analysis.
In that respect, a Technical Paper (Guidelines on Strategic Analysis), prepared and adapted to the context of Tajikistan by the Council of Europe experts, was translated into Russian and presented and discussed with the representatives of the FIU in a meeting on 27 March 2023 in Dushanbe Tajikistan.
