In 2023, the EU AML/CFT Global Facility received a request for technical assistance from Uzbekistan, which was approved by the European Commission.

In November 2024, the project conducted a scoping mission to Tashkent to define the scope of future engagement on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing issues. Topics to be tackled as part of the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT’s technical assistance will include Justice, Law Enforcement, Regulation and FIUs, Beneficial Ownership and Civil Society.

The first technical assistance activity was delivered online in February 2025.
