The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) kicked off a five‑day course in Nairobi titled “Countering Terrorism Financing and Money Laundering – Foundational Level.” The initiative aims to advance Kenya’s institutional preparedness in detecting and disrupting illicit financial flows that support terrorist organizations. The training brings together 25 officers from multiple government agencies for immersive, theme-driven instruction.
Speaking at the launch, General Officer Commanding CENTCOM, General John Nkoimo, emphasized that combating terrorism financing is a shared responsibility. He underscored that institutional coordination and effective global partnerships are essential to success. “Countering terrorism financing is a collective commitment,” he stated, stressing the strategic role the IMCTC-led training plays in fortifying Kenyan institutions.
Participants will dive into seven core thematic modules designed to build competence across the spectrum of anti-financial crime work. These include:
-National and international legal frameworks
-Sources and methods of terrorist financing
-Financial data analysis and detection tools
-Regional and global cooperation mechanisms
-Preventive strategies and awareness programming
-Promoting a proactive culture of reporting financial anomalies
By the end of the training, officers will have sharpened skills in identifying suspicious financial behavior, tapping into legal tools, and engaging in coordinated responses.
The practical goal of the course is to foster collaboration between local Kenyan institutions and regional or international partners. Trainees will learn how to share information securely, coordinate investigations, and integrate with global best practices—strengthening Kenya’s ability to respond swiftly to financial threats.
The course urbanizes the commitment of both Kenya and IMCTC to align with international counterterrorism and anti-money laundering standards. By training local officials in modern techniques and frameworks, the program represents a strategic investment in long-term institutional resilience against evolving illicit financial tactics used by extremist groups.
