INTERVIEW - ILLICIT FINANCIAL FLOWS IN AFRICA: Challenges-Drivers & STRATEGIES!’ Strategic Approach

Описание: Illicit Financial Flows in Africa: What’s at Stake and How Do We Respond?

Africa is rich in natural and human potential, yet still portrayed as structurally dependent on external aid. In this interview, Kah Walla, CEO of STRATEGIES!, speaks with Alice Malongte about a blind spot that rarely makes headlines: the massive loss of value leaving the continent every year through illicit financial flows (IFFs).

In 39 minutes, they unpack what illicit financial flows really are, how much Africa is losing, where these flows come from, why they persist, and how they directly undermine states’ ability to finance education, health, infrastructure and the Sustainable Development Goals. Far from a technical issue, IFFs are shown as a central question of economic sovereignty and state functionality.

The interview then presents STRATEGIES!’ holistic, results‑oriented approach:
– linking domestic resource mobilisation and the fight against IFFs,
– articulating five key pillars of action,
– clarifying the roles of the three key architects – the State, civil society and the private sector – in building coordinated, credible responses.

If you are working on governance, public finance, anti‑corruption, development or private sector engagement in Africa, this conversation is for you. Discover how STRATEGIES! turns the fight against illicit financial flows into a concrete lever for building functional, sovereign African states.
