Change is the only constant when it comes to countering terrorism financing

Collaboration, Research, and Analysis Against the Financing of Terrorism (CRAAFT) is an academic research and community-building initiative designed to build stronger, more coordinated counterterrorist financing (CTF) capacity around the world. Led by the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at RUSI, CRAAFT’s research agenda is timely and responsive to the CTF challenges of today.

Missing Connections: Crime-Enabled Terrorism Financing in Europe

The interactions between crime and terrorism have long been a subject of interest for academics and policymakers. However, the nature and dynamics of these interactions in the EU have remained largely unexplored, particularly when it comes to terrorist financing.

Our work is shaping the debate around the world, from the Financial Action Task Force to deliberations of the UN Security Council.

CRAAFT has been on the pulse when it comes to tracking emerging terrorism financing risks and trends, and our back catalogue of research briefings reflects how dynamic the study of CTF really is.

Over 1600 participants attended the research paper launch webinars.


Outreach is central to the CRAAFT mission, and since 2020 we have delivered our workshop series across the EU and in MONEYVAL member states, tackling some of the top issues on the minds of local authorities.

Over 500 participants attended our workshops in 14 countries.
