The conference is organised in line with African Union Decisions and Instruments adopted by African Heads of State and Government.
These include the AU Special Declaration Assembly/AU/Decl.5 of January 2015, the Nouakchott Declaration on the African Anti-Corruption Year and the Common African Position on Asset Recovery adopted by the AU Summit in February 2020.
During the two-day exchanges, participants will discuss CAPAR, the need for enhanced transparency and accountability, stricter regulations and increased international cooperation in the extractive industry. In addition, they will address the impact of illicit financial flows and the common occurrence of corruption in commodities trading.
It is worth noting that CAPAR is a policy advocacy instrument aimed at assisting AU Member States to trace, identify, repatriate and subsequently effectively manage their assets, including items of cultural heritage, in a manner that respects their sovereignty and for the benefit of African peoples who are ultimately victims of illicit financial flows.
