Madagascar - Egypt: Peer-to-peer learning to strengthen AML/CFT/CFT frameworks
SAMIFIN - FIU Madagascar is conducting a peer-to-peer learning exchange with its Egyptian partner institution #EMLCU from February 2nd to 6th, 2026. The initiative focuses on identifying and sharing best practices adaptable to respective national contexts, with the aim of improving the effectiveness and impact of AML/CFT/CFT frameworks.
This initiative is part of a strategic approach aimed at contributing positively to the results of Madagascar's mutual evaluation, which began this year, while also supporting Egypt's preparations for its own evaluation, scheduled for 2028. Discussions focused on:
- strategic and operational analysis,
- assessment of ML/TF/CFT risks,
- virtual assets and virtual asset service providers (VA/VASPs),
- targeted financial sanctions (TFS/CFS),
- preparations for the mutual evaluation, and national and inter-institutional coordination.
Alongside the technical activities, this mission was also marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
This initiative benefited from the support of the EU SecFin Africa program, reaffirming the importance of international cooperation and peer learning for the sustainable strengthening of national AML/CFT/FP systems.
