Assessing South Africa’s organized crime risk
ESA-Obs, SA-Obs
The South Africa Organized Crime Observatory (SA-Obs) works to gather granular data on illicit economies and criminal networks, strengthen societal responses to organised crime, facilitate engagement between government and civil society and disrupt organised crime. Launched in October 2023, SA-Obs is a response to high levels of violent organised crime in South Africa, as measured by the Global Organised Crime Index. SA-Obs will build on GI-TOC’s Strategic Organised Crime Risk Assessment of South Africa, which identified 15 criminal markets that cause the greatest harm and pose an existential threat to the country’s democratic institutions, economy and society.
