Tether has partnered with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to bolster cybersecurity and promote safe cryptocurrency use across Africa. This initiative focuses on educating youth and vulnerable groups to mitigate crypto fraud risks, aligning with the UN's Africa 2030 vision for secure digital finance. The collaboration addresses the rising threat of crypto-related fraud, highlighted by recent Interpol findings of $260 million in illicit digital and fiat currency activities.
The partnership, led by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and UNODC Regional Representative Sylvie Bertrand, emphasizes education and innovation. It includes mentorship, micro-grants, and bootcamps to enhance digital literacy and economic inclusion. Key projects, such as the Senegal Project, aim to educate youth on cybersecurity, while the Africa Project supports civil society organizations aiding human trafficking victims in several African countries. Additionally, the initiative extends to Papua New Guinea, promoting financial inclusion and blockchain solutions for crime prevention.
