Guyana
We support Guyana in the implementation of its National Drug Strategy Master Plan 2016-2020. This accompaniment has focused on the fight against drug trafficking and organised crime and, in particular, on strengthening capacities for the exchange of financial and asset information related to money laundering crimes.
How do we support the country?
Fight against drug trafficking and organised crime
- 11 analysts and technicians from the National Police and the Financial Intelligence Unit trained in new money laundering risks derived from the use of virtual assets.
- 1 technical guide for the Regulation of Virtual Assets and Virtual Asset Service Providers.
Drug demand reduction
- 1 social innovation laboratory aimed at prevention and harm reduction to improve the response to drug use and prevention in minors under the care of the State.
- 2 study visits to learn about models of care for problematic drug use in community treatment facilities in Uruguay and Colombia. The visits have served to design a pilot project in Valparaíso aimed at creating a community work department in the territory that can be articulated with existing prevention and treatment programmes.
Fight against drug trafficking and organised crime
- 1 study to improve the registration of final beneficiaries of money laundering, which are being hidden through legal or financial structures to give the appearance of legitimacy to these assets.
- Updating the Financial Investigations Guide, including the systematisation of good practices for information exchange, since in many cases the financial networks of drug trafficking are not limited to one country.
