Central Office for the Fight against Illicit Enrichment

What Central Office for the Fight against Illicit Enrichment does

OCLEI (Office central de Lutte contre l'Enrichissement illicite), translated as the Central Office for the Fight against Illicit Enrichment, is the national anti-corruption agency of Mali, established by law in 2015 and headquartered in Bamako. The agency's statutory mandate is to prevent, monitor, and combat corruption and illicit enrichment among public officials in Mali, including verifying asset declarations, investigating suspected corruption cases, and referring matters to judicial authorities. It operates an Online Asset Declaration System — an electronic portal where Malian public officials file wealth declarations, with a downloadable PDF template for offline submissions — and an Anonymous Reporting Portal that allows citizens to submit corruption allegations with attachments via a secure web form. OCLEI publishes annual reports (covering 2017-2018 through 2023) and specialized studies on illicit enrichment techniques, subsidy analysis, and corruption case typologies, which it disseminates via its website, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube), and high-level conferences such as the Bamako Conference on Corruption in Africa.

The agency is structured as a government state entity under the direct authority of the Head of State, currently led by President Dr. Modibo SACKO (appointed February 2026 by General Assimi GOITA) with a Council including members from the gendarmerie and civil engineering backgrounds. It is not a commercial enterprise: there is no fee-for-service pricing, and operations are funded through Malian government budget allocations with possible technical and financial partner support. OCLEI maintains formal cooperation agreements with peer African anti-corruption bodies — including ASCE-LC (Burkina Faso), OFNAC (Senegal), ICAC (Mauritius), the Rwanda Ombudsman Office, and the African Union — and works closely with Mali's Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, and ARGASTC on judicial coordination. The agency employs 14 staff, conducts regional sensitization campaigns outside Bamako (e.g., Kayes in March 2026), and has recently signed a training partnership with the École de maintien de la paix Alioune Blondin Beye (EMP-ABB) to build anti-corruption capacity.

Direct peers

• ASCE-LC (Autorité Supérieure de Contrôle d'État – Lutte contre la Corruption): Burkina Faso's superior authority for state control and anti-corruption, with a parallel mandate to coordinate and supervise internal administrative control bodies and anti-corruption agencies. Directly comparable to OCLEI as a national-level francophone Sahel anti-corruption body, and an existing OCLEI partner.
• ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, Nigeria): Nigeria's federal anti-corruption agency empowered to investigate and prosecute corruption offences and enforce asset declaration requirements for public officers. Operates at a larger national scale but with a directly analogous investigation and asset declaration mandate.
• Office of the Ombudsman (Rwanda): Rwanda's constitutionally-established Ombudsman responsible for preventing and fighting injustice and corruption, including receiving and verifying asset declarations. Directly comparable to OCLEI's asset declaration and anti-corruption remit, and an existing OCLEI partner.
• PCCB (Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau, Tanzania): Tanzania's national anti-corruption bureau responsible for prevention, investigation, and prosecution of corruption offences. Comparable in mandate and African public-sector context, though operating in a different regional cluster from OCLEI.
• OFNAC (Office National de lutte contre la Fraude et Corruption): Senegal's independent national anti-corruption office responsible for receiving asset declarations, analyzing financial information, and conducting investigations. Shares OCLEI's asset declaration and investigation mandate and is an existing OCLEI partner, making it a directly comparable peer.
• EACC (Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Kenya): Kenya's constitutional commission mandated to combat and prevent corruption, enforce the Leadership and Integrity Code, and investigate misconduct in public office. A well-established African anti-corruption agency with a comparable asset declaration and investigation function.
• ICAC (Independent Commission against Corruption, Mauritius): Mauritius' independent commission mandated to detect and investigate corruption and money laundering, examine public institution procedures, and handle asset declarations of public officers. An existing OCLEI partner with a closely aligned asset declaration and investigation mandate.
• CHRAJ (Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, Ghana): Ghana's independent constitutional body that includes anti-corruption functions, asset declaration oversight, and investigation of public official misconduct. Shares OCLEI's combined mandate of administrative justice and corruption prevention.

Others

• Transparency International: Global civil society organization producing the Corruption Perceptions Index and supporting national anti-corruption bodies. Operates adjacent to OCLEI as a non-governmental evaluator and capacity-building partner rather than a direct functional competitor.

Regional players

• GIABA (Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa): ECOWAS-specialized body supporting member states on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, including typology studies and mutual evaluation. Overlaps with OCLEI's illicit enrichment and asset declaration work at the regional coordination level, and Mali is a member state.
