Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime

The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI) is an independent, civil society organization which seeks new and innovative strategies to highlight and reduce the impact of organized crime and illicit markets. Its work spans a wide variety of areas, encompassing all criminal markets – drugs, people, arms, environmental commodities, violence – and their impacts. Debates on organized crime and illicit markets have become increasingly complex, crossing multiple sectors and requiring a wide array of expertise to understand and respond to them. With a network of more than 500 experts, including prominent law enforcement, governance and development practitioners, and its global focus, the GI has a strong comparative advantage. The GI shares its work through reports, podcasts, newsletters, events and more. This page will share the latest campaigns and analysis in response to transnational organized crime from the GI and its partner organizations.
