vehicles and financial instruments. The workshop followed
a scoping mission conducted by OCEEA, UNODC, and the
EAG which identified the technical assistance needs of the
Tajik national authorities in relation to combating money
laundering, terrorist financing and proceeds of crime, and
concluded with a draft action plan on developing the national
capacities in the mentioned areas. Meetings were held with

fostering co-operation in combatting corruption and money
laundering. The expert meeting was designed to enhance cooperation between the financial intelligence units (FIUs) and
specialized international organizations in the field, and to

money laundering. The meeting allowed participants to
conduct a “gap analysis” on the current capabilities and needs
of FIUs, in relation to detecting, investigating and disrupting
money laundering threats associated with offshore zones.
