A seminar on fighting money laundering and terrorism financing takes place in Dar es Salaam today.
The Treasury is conducting the event and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is coordinating it.
It is part of a programme to sensitise participants on the Anti-Money Laundering Law which became operational last July.
Finance and Economic Affairs minister Mustafa Mkulo is scheduled to open the seminar.
''Under the law, FIU is required to create training requirements and provide such training for reporting persons, judicial and law enforcement officers,'' the unit noted in a statement.
''It is for this reason that the FIU has found it necessary to mount this awareness sensitisation programme for all the stakeholders to understand the requirements of the law.''
The law is aimed at creating a strong anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing framework in the country.
The seminar targets to instill the participants with the knowledge and skills as part of the strategy to implement the law.
The Anti-Money Laundering Act, whose section 4 created the FIU, was passed by Parliament in November 2006.
