🎯 About the Conference
The Africa Governance, Risk, Compliance & Financial Crime Prevention Conference is a three-day, high-level stakeholders convening bringing together senior leaders from government, regulatory authorities, central banks, financial institutions, corporates, development partners, and global organisations.
Hosted in Lusaka, Zambia, the conference is designed as a secure, invitation-led and professionally curated platform for strategic dialogue, collaboration, and leadership on the most critical governance, risk, compliance, technology, cyber, and financial crime challenges facing Africa today.
This is not a general conference. It is a transformational, decision-maker-level forum for those shaping Africa's governance and integrity agenda.
📜 Conference Theme & Philosophy
Trust, Resilience and Sustainable Growth
Advancing Governance, Risk, Compliance and Financial Crime Prevention in Africa
A global approach to building resilient institutions, strengthening governance, and advancing next-generation risk management in an increasingly digital and interconnected economy. The theme reflects the understanding that:
- Financial crime prevention is an outcome of strong governance
- Compliance is effective only when embedded within enterprise risk management
- Sustainable growth requires institutional trust, resilience, and accountability
