Berlin, 22 May 2025
We are pleased today to launch our Annual Report for 2024, alongside our 2024 Financial Statement.
The year saw some important highlights in our work. Of note was the second Global Forum, which was held in December. This remains the only global meeting of civil society working on asset recovery and is a key moment for us to discuss developments and identify priorities collectively with our partners.
Alongside this, we produced innovative and informative research and tools, and used this to support partners advocate for national reforms. A focus this year was on the Common African Position on Asset Recovery (CAPAR), where we supported the launch of six CSO assessments, which partners used to engage governments to strengthen asset recovery frameworks. A particular thematic focus was on asset returns: with research into best practices for independent mechanisms and support to partners from Angola to assess previous returns.
Moving into 2025, we can expect the situation to be challenging. The start of the year has already demonstrated the volatility in funding that is likely to be the hallmark of the anti-corruption field for the coming years. We are however convinced that we will weather these challenges to continue our work to advance civil society and public participation in stolen asset recovery.
