Global Forum on Asset Recovery

The Global Forum on Asset Recovery (GFAR) is an international platform that brings together governments, law enforcement, and civil society to combat corruption and recover stolen assets. Launched in 2017, it focuses on enhancing cooperation among countries to locate and return illegally obtained funds to their rightful countries, often from corrupt officials. GFAR promotes transparency, strengthens legal frameworks, and shares best practices for asset recovery. By fostering collaboration, the forum aims to make it more difficult for corrupt practices to go unpunished and to ensure that resources are available for development and public welfare in affected nations.
