UFA benefits from new voluntary funding support from Chinese Taipei

20 January 2015

The UFA welcomes continuing support from Chinese Taipei.

On 19 January  2015, the Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Sydney, Australia, Mr Douglas C. T. Shen, presented the first instalment of a two-year AUD$122,100 grant to the UFA.

The purpose of the grant is to strengthen security in the region by assisting priority Pacific UFA members to build and/or enhance their capability to combat ML and TF.  The  project  will  support  the  development  of  improved  AML/CFT compliance  levels  among  Pacific  members  through  targeted  capacity  building  programmes  and opportunities to participate in core UFA business activities.

On behalf of the UFA Co-Chairs, the UFA is very grateful for Chinese Taipei’s voluntary funding and for its strong support for the work of the UFA.
