PAN: Improving the Ability to Trace and Tackle IFFs - Phase 2 Panama is a hub for foreign and domestic illicit revenue streams where criminal networks are able to launder and conceal proceeds of criminal activities with ease primarily through the use of opaque legal entities. An industry has been built around the promise of secrecy and anonymity requiring strong action by the Panamanian government to empower regulators to compel all the reporting entities, including the Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) sector, to disclose information about their clients. The project aims to assist Panama’s “Superintendencia for Non-Financial Services” (SSNF) to enhance their capacity to superintend non-financial reporting entities across various areas of deficiencies.  Through a detailed diagnostic assessment completed by ASI under Phase 1, we reviewed the SSNF’s organisational mandate, processes, capacity, and relationships to prioritise and develop tailored technical interventions to build organisational effectiveness. Thus, under Phase 1, ASI with its partners provided technical assistance to the SSNF to enhance and strengthen its operations. Under Phase 2, leveraging on our excellent working relationships with the executive leadership, senior managers and mid-level managers, we have continued to provide strategic support and mentoring to critical departments within the SSNF to upgrade their capacity across a number of functions and support the institution to continue to adopt significant organisational changes across People, Process and Systems. The primary objectives of this assignment are twofold:
1. [Objective 1] Develop and assist in the implementation of an operational-level project management support unit within the SSNF to improve the overall performance and effectiveness of the institution.
2. [Objective 2] Support in the implementation and improvement of processes for the adequate function of the Beneficial Ownership registry in Panama.
3. [Objective 3] Support ongoing SSNF outreach activities for Beneficial Ownership training and ensure access by competent authorities and other relevant stakeholders to beneficial ownership data
Sustainable Energy and Economic Development (SEED) Programme The Sustainable Energy and Economic Development Programme (SEED) will provide £37.5 million over seven years (2018/19 – 2024/2025) to support provincial economic development and sustainable energy in Pakistan. It will support the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), to plan and finance the infrastructure and investment it needs for growth, jobs and prosperity. The programme will also address Pakistan’s energy crisis by providing innovative financial solutions to industry for the adoption of sustainable energy practices. The Supplier will act as the lead technical assistance provider to implement Component 1 ‐ Improved Economic and Urban Planning in KPK Pakistan of SEED programme. The total budget for services to be provided under this contract will be £15 million. Pakistan is growing but is performing worse in terms of economic development than its South Asian and lower middle‐income country peers. Investment is just 16% of GDP compared to 25% in these other groups. Pakistan is urbanising fast – but urbanisation is not delivering higher levels of investment or increasing productivity. Provincial governments’ capacity to plan and manage investments effectively and an unreliable, expensive and unsustainable energy supply are two fundamental constraints to inclusive economic growth. Following a constitutional amendment in 2010, there is an increasing role for subnational governments in delivering economic and urban development. KPK is fragile economically and socially but also presents opportunities. The demands on its resources are also growing, with the recently announced merger with the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). KPK needs early support to integrate itself with Pakistan’s growth centres – Punjab and Sindh – and to benefit from China Pakistan Economic Corridor investments. KPK’s yearly development budget in core economic development sectors alone is larger than FCDO’s programme in Pakistan. We can support the KPK Government to meet these challenges by strengthening the systems and institutions responsible for promoting the province’s economic development. Driven by stronger institutions, and a growing economy, KPK will be better able to converge, economically and socially, with Punjab. The impact of the programme will be higher growth, jobs, and incomes in Pakistan. The outcome of the programme will be public and private investments generate greater economic, social, and environmental returns. At an output level, the programme will: - deliver provincial economic development plans and sector strategies - Build institutional capacity for economic and urban planning in KP by establishing systems and protocols for coordination, project design, selection, appraisal, and implementation. - Leverage funds from non‐government sources for core infrastructure projects in KP. The primary recipient of the technical assistance will be the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
PAK: UPSCALE 2 Serious and organised crime poses a serious threat to UK and Pakistan and undermines the security, governance and economic growth of both countries. Funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the UK-Pakistan Serious Crime and Law Enforcement (UPSCALE 2) programme is intended to improve the UK’s and Pakistan’s ability to share information to curb transnational crimes. Following an extension and thematic expansion of the programme, we are now looking to 
select a supplier to lead on the UPSCALE-2 project from 2023-2025. The contract is 
anticipated to start early March 2023 and run until March 2025 with a possibility of extension 
for an additional two years at yearly intervals depending upon the Authority’s approval and 
availability of funding. The programme will use a mix of ODA and non-ODA funded 
interventions, delivering mutually supportive improvements to both the environment for UK 
operational work and Pakistani systems. The ODA-funded work will be delivered through 
this contract and will focus on improving Pakistan’s willingness, specific institutional capacity 
and systemic ability to cooperate with the UK and a range of law enforcement issues1
. This 
will take an adaptive approach, which continually recognises that the Pakistan and UK 
interpretations of priority threat areas are often not the same and cooperation can require 
sensitive handling. The supplier will focus on areas where there is clear operational demand 
from Pakistan to the UK.

KEN: Kenya – Somalia – Ethiopia borderlands Programme The Kenya-Somalia-Ethiopia Borderlands project is a £10m three-year initiative funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), running through to 2026. The project (Deris Wanaag, meaning “good neighbourliness” in Somali), is implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI) in partnership with the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

The project’s target locations – the border areas between Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, namely Mandera, Garissa, Wajir and Lamu counties (Kenya), Jubaland (Somalia) and Dolo Ado, Somali Region (Ethiopia) – are areas of high poverty, few economic opportunities, limited government reach, porous borders and conflicted identities, which inform communities’ human and social capital, resulting in both elite capture and economic, political and social exclusion. The prevalence of and dependence on pastoralism, combined with few alternative livelihoods, renders borderland communities particularly vulnerable to the impact of climate change, and in particular the deteriorating droughts. Somalia’s ongoing conflict with al Shabaab has spilled across borders and has resulted in waves of displacement, putting pressure on populations, structures and resources. Al Shabaab capitalises on this instability, and exploits the marginalisation that results from these conflict drivers
SOM: CSSF CTPF Somaliland - Counter Terrorism Capacity Building and Training The Somaliland CTPF Capacity Building & Training Programme builds on the long-standing UK support to the Somaliland security forces in the field of counter-terrorism. The project aims to improve the effectiveness of Somaliland in thwarting the activities of Al Shabaab (AS) and IS-Somalia (IS-S), through capacity-building, high-level engagements, and judicial diplomacy. The project aims to: 
- support development of a Somaliland-led capability that disrupts AS/IS operations and planning, through improved capabilities; 
- improve intelligence sharing  through increase internal cooperation and the effective intelligence sharing mechanisms. and
 - increase the quality of CT investigations and prosecutions, as the prosecutorial evidence benefits from greater use of Somaliland’s own resources, as well as strengthen the CT legislative framework.
