PGG III: Strengthening measures to prevent and combat economic crime in the Eastern Partnership region
Project Description
The primary focus of this initiative is to address gaps identified through the Council of Europe’s monitoring bodies, such as the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) and the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL), as well as other international mechanisms.
The project is implemented within the third Phase of the joint programme of the European Union and the Council of Europe “Partnership for Good Governance”.
