Pretoria (South Africa), 4 December 2019 - It is estimated that from 1970 to 2008 Africa lost about US$ 854 billion in illicit financial flows (IFFs) and continues to lose US$50 - 148 billion every year [1]. The increased scale of IFFs leaving the African continent significantly undermines Governments' efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. It is against this background that UNODC, in partnership with the Southern African Development Community, organised a workshop on "Fostering International Cooperation in addressing Illicit Financial Flows and on Asset Forfeiture." .
