It really matters who owns what.
Recently in Manila, CIPE convened nearly 70 leaders from government, business, civil society, media, and international partners to explore how Beneficial Ownership Transparency (BOT) can strengthen integrity, competition, and security.

Do you know what ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) means?
🇵🇦 Panama has published UBO data for dozens of vessels in its international fleet, revealing who ultimately controls or profits from their activity, and setting a new standard for fisheries transparency.

As Africa intensifies efforts to curb illicit financial flows (IFFs), beneficial ownership transparency continues to be a critical pillar for strengthening accountability, protecting public resources, and enhancing domestic resource mobilisation.
Speaking at the side session, "Who Really Owns Africa's Resources?", held during the Joint 9th Session of the African Union (AU) Specialised Technical Committee (STC) on Finance, Monetary Affairs, Economic Planning and Integration and the 5th STC Session on Trade, Tourism, Industry and Minerals in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, on 21 July 2026, TJNA's Executive Director, Ms. @chenaimukumba, highlighted that beneficial ownership transparency is far more than another transparency reform; it is a strategic tool for identifying the real individuals behind companies and legal arrangements used to facilitate money laundering, tax abuse, corruption, and other illicit financial activities.
"The High-Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows from Africa called on us to 'track, stop and get' illicit financial flows. Beneficial ownership transparency is central to this agenda because it enables us to identify the natural persons behind illicit financial activities, pierce the veil of complex corporate structures, and close the loopholes that facilitate illicit financial flows."
Ms. Mukumba emphasised that strengthening beneficial ownership frameworks will help African governments deter tax abuse, improve transparency, and build more resilient economies capable of financing the continent's development priorities.

Day 3 in Lusaka: hands-on #OCDS training for e-procurement managers.
Publishing open data is a policy commitment. Making it work takes technical skill: mapping, quality checks & data people can actually use.

1/ Three days in Lusaka. A lot of honest conversation about what it actually takes to make digital procurement work, not in theory, but in practice.
Last week, we co-hosted a regional workshop with @UNODC_ROSAF, @OpenOwnership and @ZambiaPublic.

Public procurement accounts for around 17% of GDP across Africa. Too much of it never reaches the people it is meant for.
That brought 12 countries to Lusaka this week to ask: what would it actually take to make this work at home? 🧵1/4

Illegal fishing costs billions each year. Hidden vessel ownership is one of the reasons why.
A new brief from Global Fishing Watch explores how #UBO transparency can expose illicit activity, protect seafood supply chains and strengthen enforcement. 🌊
