The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the European Union and Interpol have launched a €1.3-million program in a joint partnership to fight money laundering. This is a part of the larger EU-sponsored €37.5 million program that was developed to combat piracy and increase maritime security in 2014.
The regional Maritime Security (MASE) program is implemented by COMESA, the East African Community (EAC), the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the Indian Ocean Community (IOC).
Interpol will be implementing one of the objectives of the COMESA component within the framework of an Implementation Agreement signed between the two organizations in 2015. Specifically Interpol will support investigative capacity building of law enforcement agencies in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) Region in the area of financial crimes at the national and international levels.
The COMESA Component will address the whole range of processes in the fight against money laundering. COMESA has been involved in building the analytical capacity of Financial Intelligence Units of the members that were most affected by Piracy.
