The project contributes to the development cooperation programme in two ways: firstly, it aims to strengthen the independence of the judiciary and contribute to more uniform case law; secondly, measures to combat IFF and corruption are planned as part of the project. IFF are funds that are illegal due to their origin (e.g. from corruption), their use (e.g. for terrorist financing) or the nature of their transfer (e.g. money laundering). The contractor contributes to the achievement of the module objective "the judiciary and other state and non-state actors fulfil their role, in particular in strengthening access to justice for the Senegalese population and in combating illicit financial flows" and, in particular, to the achievement of output 3 (Number of reform steps implemented by relevant governmental and non-governmental actors in the area of combating illicit financial flows to strengthen the prevention, financial investigation, and asset recovery of illicit financial flows, including those resulting from corruption). Description of the services: The overall task for the contractor is the provision of high-quality technical and methodological expertise and advice in the field of combating illicit financial flows. To contribute to the achievement of the stated module objective and output 3, the contractor will perform tasks in the following work packages: Work package 1: Prevention of IFF: Develop a detailed activity plan in coordination with GIZ, CENTIF and any other entity GIZ and CENTIF agree to include.

The contractor shall also hold regular coordination meetings with GIZ updating GIZ on progress, challenges, and results as well as any support needs, GIZ may cater to. All activities should also be carried out in a development sensitive manner. Potential risks of unintended negative consequences such as shrinking spaces for civil society or financial exclusion of vulnerable groups should be taken into account and mitigated. It is also important that all capacity development activities are carried out on the basis of fictitious examples, past examples from other country contexts or generalizations. Involvement in activities relating to ongoing investigations or specific criminal cases in Senegal is to be avoided at all costs. Combating illicit financial flows can be a politically sensitive issue and the contractor is expected to communicate with partners with diplomatic sensitivity and to seek consultation with the GIZ project team in the event of any difficulties, questions or uncertainties.
