The UNCAC requires each State to implement necessary training programs for its officials charged with preventing and combating corruption. Suggested areas for training in asset recovery include: evidence-gathering and investigative methods; the preparation of MLA requests; measures to detect, trace, freeze and otherwise stop the transfer of illegal proceeds; effective legal and administrative mechanisms and methods for facilitating the return of illegal proceeds. ICAR and other organizations are adding training resources to meet the growing need for capacity building in developing States. These training programs strive to be responsive to unique circumstances faced by each country, taking into account the many factors, domestic and international, institutional and political, experiential and technological, that bear on the effectiveness of asset recovery initiatives. This section of the Knowledge Centre seeks to become a clearinghouse for asset recovery training, informing users of available training resources, providing useful training materials, notifying users of events and developments in the field and facilitating feedback and discussion on the direction and focus of future training efforts.
