SUMMARY:National validation Workshop of pilot activities for measuring Illi
 cit Financial Flows (IFFs) in Egypt
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations integrated SDGs Financing project for Egypt 
 (INFF) aims to develop capacities and put in place simple systems to conti
 nuously measure\, map and compare financing flows. An important element of
  this project is identifying financing opportunities\, through the better 
 availability and quality of data\, in particular data on Illicit Financial
  Flows (IFFs). IFFs threaten countries’ ability to achieve the 2030 Agen
 da and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by diverting resources fro
 m development.\n\nCustodian agencies of SDG indicator 16.4.1\, United Nati
 ons Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and United Nations Office
  for Drugs and Crime (UNODC)\, released Conceptual Framework for the Stati
 stical Measurement of Illicit Financial Flows in October 2020. In May 2021
 \, UNCTAD finalised a draft of Methodological Guidelines to Measure Tax an
 d Commercial IFFs for pilot testing\, aimed at statistical and other natio
 nal authorities with a mandate to collect and access relevant information.
  UNODC are finalising the Guidelines to measure IFFs from extractive activ
 ities and illegal drugs markets.\n\nThis Validation workshop is organised 
 with two specific objectives:\n\n\nTo review\, provide feedback and inputs
  into refinement of the report on IFF risk assessment in Egypt to complete
  the background information on IFFs in Egypt\, in turn setting the nationa
 l context for further pilot-testing plan to measure IFFs in Egypt.\nTo ser
 ve as a platform to discuss forming a national technical working group\, i
 .e.\, expert group for statistical measurement of IFFs in Egypt. During th
 e workshop\, participants will be presented with the mandate\, workplan an
 d membership of the proposed expert group.\n\n\nTargeted participants of t
 he validation workshop are the same participants as in the previous kick-o
 ff workshop. Additionally\, statisticians and other experts at the technic
 al level are strongly encouraged to actively participate in this workshop\
 , including\, but not limited to\, persons responsible for filling-in the 
 SAQs and experts directly involved in IFF-related activities at various na
 tional institutions\, either data\, statistical\, or other expertise input
