We Need a Network to Fight a Network

Main Text

Criminals operating in the illicit trade space are working in networks – not limited by laws or borders. They should be fought in the same way, creating connections across nations and between international law enforcement. We must continue to build cross-sector and public-private coalitions that are able, and willing, to make an impact.

This is why PMI IMPACT was created. Find out more about the global initiative and how it’s countering the negative consequences of illicit trade for individuals, their families, and communities.

In June, 2021, PMI IMPACT announced the launch of its third funding round. The program is open to project proposals from public, private, or non-profit organizations, including governmental organizations, international organizations, associations, academic institutions, and private companies.

In the wake of COVID-19, PMI IMPACT will also be open to evaluating projects aimed at limiting the threats of counterfeited and substandard vaccines, medicines, medical supplies, and personal protective equipment.
