CRDF Global, in support of the U.S. Department of State’s Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) CASE Program, is seeking a qualified Subject Matter Expert (SME) or organization with expertise in counterproliferation finance (CPF) risk assessments, anti-money laundering (AML), and sanctions enforcement with a focus on both cryptocurrency and traditional finance as well as providing guidance for national risk assessments on proliferation financing. The Contractor should have experience designing and delivering interactive in-person trainings for public sector audiences including financial intelligence units (FIUs), police, customs, ministries of foreign affairs, and ministries of transport. Under this engagement, the Contractor will develop and deliver a two-day, in-person training in Rarotonga, Cook Islands for approximately 20 private sector officials and then deliver two virtual follow-on sessions. The training will provide foundational knowledge of counterproliferation finance for the public sector. Travel to Cook Islands for delivery is required.

The Contractor will serve as the lead trainer and subject matter expert (SME) and will be responsible for developing and delivering a two-day, in-person training in Cook Islands focused on CPF training to help key stakeholders in government advance their proliferation financing identification and reporting through a combination of lectures, case studies, tabletop exercises that simulate interagency coordination. The contractor should be able to effectively discuss CPF policy and help Cook Islands contacts effectively incorporate proliferation financing into their national financial risk assessment framework along with AML/counterterrorism financing (CFT).

The Contractor will also participate in regular planning and coordination calls with CRDF Global and provide a post-engagement subject matter expert report outlining key observations, lessons learned and recommended next steps. The training will incorporate Cook Islands-specific case studies on virtual asset technologies and threats, as well as interactive breakouts and practical exercises.
