Efforts to recover and return stolen assets are gaining momentum worldwide—but ensuring that returned assets are used transparently and for the public benefit remains a critical challenge.
Civil society organisations are increasingly recognised as key actors in monitoring asset return processes, strengthening accountability, mitigating corruption risks, and building public trust.
To support this role, CIFAR is launching Monitoring Returned Assets: A Toolkit for Civil Society Organisations, a practical resource that:
- Explains the asset return landscape
- Highlights the value of civil society monitoring
- Provides concrete, actionable methods adaptable to different national and regional contexts
We invite you to join our launch webinar and discussion forum, bringing together representatives from government institutions and civil society to exchange insights and experiences.
