Establishment

ARIN-EA was conceptualized on 4th July 2013 at a side event during the 4th Global focal Point Meeting on Asset recovery held in Bangkok, Thailand.  The network was launched with the support of StAR Initiative/World Bank of 6th November 2013 in Kigali, Rwanda during the 7th East African Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (EAAACA) Annual General Meeting (AGM).

ARIN-EA is the first informal network of practitioners in the Eastern Africa Region to tackle the proceeds of all crime.  Creating such an innovative network will increase the possibility of stopping criminals from enjoying the illegally acquired wealth.
