The Initiative Against Illicit Finance (IAIF) is a civil society organization based in Uganda, committed to raising awareness and investigating illicit financial flows (IFFs) and transnational organized crime. Our goal is to educate and engage communities, stakeholders, and authorities on the detrimental impact of crime-based illicit financial flows and transnational organised crimes on societies.
We strive to empower communities with knowledge, resources and strategies to effectively recognize, report, and combat crime-based illicit financial flow. We open communities to a broader understanding of illicit financial flows and transnational organized crime, emphasizing their impact on society as a whole encouraging them to take a stand against these illicit activities.
The IAIF is Shaping investigations into illicit financial flows and providing data-driven insights to advocate for effective policies and interventions.

Creating an environment that is self-protecting and safeguards against illicit financial flows and transnational Organised Crime
Tabitha , a writer and researcher deeply passionate about unearthing the shadows of globalisation founded The Initiative Against Illicit Finance with the objective of raising awareness about the mechanisms of transnational organised crime and crime-based illicit financial flows, along with the enablers that sustain these activities. The world we live in today is interconnected like never before, globalisation has opened new avenues for progress and prosperity but this interconnectedness also leaves us vulnerable and criminal networks exploit this very connectivity for their gains, leaving societies and economies grappling with the repercussions.
Through years of dedicated research and writing, we've come to appreciate the critical need to shed light on these pervasive issues. Crime-based illicit financial flows are a silent drain on economies, siphoning off resources that should be invested in the well-being of communities and nations. Transnational organised crime, on the other hand, knows no borders and preys on the vulnerabilities of societies around the world. At The Initiative Against Illicit Finance (IAIF), we stand united in our determination to mitigate these threats.
We envision a world where communities are equipped to stand resilient against the darkness that shadows globalisation. We invite you to join us in this mission. Together, we can drive positive change, influence policies, and create a world where the benefits of globalisation are enjoyed by all, untainted by the shadows of crime-based illicit financial flows and transnational organised crime.
