Clark Gascoigne is the Communications Director at Global Financial Integrity in Washington, DC.

Some very exciting news out of the Task Force conference:

Chaikou Yaya Diallo of the Guinea government, announces that he wants to convene a summit of African ministers to discuss the issue of illicit financial flows and the devastating ramifications they have on developing countries.

This is how progress happens.
