Duties and Responsibilities

Organized crime and trade in illegal markets generate billions of dollars in illicit flows every year. The proceeds of these crimes may be channelled abroad, laundered, and reinvested in legal markets, with estimates of illicit financial flows (IFFs) related to cross-border drug trafficking being comparable to the value of exports of licit markets. UNODC has developed the conceptual framework for the statistical measurement of IFFs, and since then supported different countries in its implementation for measuring the indicator 16.4.1 (total value of inward and outward illicit financial flows) from the Sustainable Development Goal 16. Building on the work done in the region under various UNODC research and other initiatives, UNODC is developing a new report on the analysis of trafficking flows and the associated illicit financial flows from opiate and methamphetamine trafficking along the Balkan route. The report will provide an overview of the magnitude of the illicit income generated in the Balkan region, the associated financial flows and the modus operandi used by organized criminal groups to generate illicit income from drug trafficking. The report will also analyse the different types of investments of illicit income, such as in real estate or other economic sectors (such as construction companies, trading companies, transport companies, among others). The Individual Contractor will be responsible for designing and laying out the Balkan route report (80-100 pages) in close coordination with the Statistician or his/her designated mandated representative(s).
