Time: 10:30 to 11:30

Over the past decade, organised crime markets in Africa have grown and consolidated, and the dynamics between criminal actors have ebbed and flowed. In contrast, resilience to organised crime has consistently remained lower than the criminality average.
The 4th edition of the Africa Organised Crime Index showcases these patterns, drawing on more than eight years of data. The index is unique in its assessment of 15 criminal markets, five types of criminal actors and 12 resilience indicators for all 54 countries in Africa.
This hybrid launch is co-hosted by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) and INTERPOL.
Simultaneous English-French interpretation will be provided for this event.
Moderator: Prof Luka Kuol, Managing Director, Sudd Institute & ENACT Advisory Board Member
