Zambia is hosting a two-day Pilot Anti-Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) Policy Tracker Assessment in Lusaka.
The assessment has brought together key institutions and experts to strengthen the country’s response to illicit financial flows.
The Policy Tracker is an African Union mandated tool designed to help member countries assess their national systems for combating tax related illicit financial flows.
Speaking at the opening session, Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) Commissioner General Dingani Banda, reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to building a strong, coordinated, and intelligence led national response to illicit financial flows.
Mr. Banda, in a speech read on his behalf by ZRA Director-Investigations Patience Siame, said combating illicit financial flows requires a united, collaborative approach among key institutions to effectively support Zambia’s Domestic Resource Mobilisation drive.
Financial Intelligence Centre Director General Clement Kapalu said the initiative offers a structured, evidence based framework to examine existing policies and identify gaps and vulnerabilities in the system.
He urged all competent authorities to unite in strengthening domestic revenue protection by aligning strategies against illicit financial flows.
At the same event, respresentatives from African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) both described the Policy Tracker as a governance instrument that helps countries identify policy gaps, track implementation progress, and strengthen institutional coordination.
The Anti-Illicit Financial Flows Policy Tracker was developed by Tax Justice Network Africa in collaboration with ATAF and the African Union Commission (AUC).
