The inaugural meeting of the Consortium to Stem Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) from Africa will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 13 to 14 June 2016. The meeting is convened by the Secretariat of the High Level Panel on IFFs and will be chaired by Mr. Thabo Mbeki, Former President of the Republic of South Africa and Chair of the AU/ECA High Level Panel.

The meeting aims at initiating streamlined collaboration of global efforts to tackle IFFs in general. The series of global advocacy activities on IFFs completed recently by the High Level Panel indicate a growing and clear commitment among international stakeholders to effectively cooperate with African counterparts on the issue.
