The NPO Working Group has been actively monitoring changes in legislation related to the recommendations set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) regarding anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. We have continued to partner with key stakeholders and remain informed on any changes that could negatively impact the South African nonprofit sector.

We invite all interested parties to a webinar on the 25^th of January, from 10:00-12:00, titled "Navigating Challenges related to money laundering and terrorist financing regulations. Updates and insights from the NPO Working Group”.  These regulations are designed to address serious global concerns but have had unintended consequences for civic space and human rights globally, when governments misinterpret or misapply the recommendations set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The webinar will provide updates and insights from the NPO Working Group and various contributors, along with a call to action. It will offer a platform for participants to engage with speakers and delve into the presented topics more deeply.
