The Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) has launched an initiative on ‘Ensuring the Effective Implementation of Countering the Financing of Terrorism Measures While Safeguarding Civic Space'. This is being co-led by The Netherlands, Morocco and the UN Office of Counter-terrorism (UNOCT), and implemented by the Global Center on Cooperative Security. It envisages the development of a GCTF good practices memorandum on implementing effective and risk-based CFT measures that avoid negatively affecting civic space and humanitarian operations. Global multi-stakeholder consultations have been planned, and the NPO Coalition is monitoring this process and engaging with caution.

This is the summary of the virtual launch event.
