MONROVIA – International direct-selling company QNET has endorsed the Global Public-Private Partnership Framework Against Fraud, reinforcing its commitment to combating transnational fraud as its collaboration with Ghana’s Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) gains international recognition as a model for tackling organized financial crimes.
The endorsement follows QNET’s participation in the inaugural United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)-INTERPOL Global Fraud Summit in Vienna, where the framework was officially launched as a global roadmap to strengthen cooperation between governments, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, technology firms, responsible businesses and civil society organizations in the fight against fraud.
The framework, introduced by the UNODC in March 2026, promotes stronger collaboration through intelligence sharing, fraud prevention, investigations, victim support and innovation to address increasingly sophisticated cross-border criminal activities.
QNET is among the organizations officially listed by the UNODC as endorsing the initiative, underscoring its commitment to supporting international efforts to combat organized fraud and protect consumers.
The announcement also coincides with growing international recognition of QNET’s partnership with Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), which was highlighted during the summit as a practical example of successful public-private collaboration against recruitment fraud, human trafficking and the criminal misuse of legitimate brands.
That recognition was further reinforced this month when EOCO, in collaboration with INTERPOL, hosted the Regional Case Coordination Workshop on “Model Q” in Accra. The workshop brought together investigators and prosecutors from across West Africa to strengthen regional cooperation against organized criminal networks involved in recruitment fraud, human trafficking and related financial crimes.
According to QNET, the developments demonstrate an emerging global consensus that organized fraud can only be effectively addressed through sustained cooperation between governments, law enforcement agencies and responsible private-sector organizations.
“The criminal networks behind today’s fraud schemes do not operate in isolation, and neither can the response,” said Mattias Mildenborn, Chief Executive Officer of QNET.
“Our experience working alongside authorities such as Ghana’s EOCO has demonstrated the value of trusted public-private collaboration in disrupting organised criminal networks and protecting vulnerable communities. Endorsing the Framework reflects our commitment to strengthening that cooperation internationally.”
EOCO Executive Director Raymond Archer also emphasized the importance of sustained collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the private sector.
“Our Memorandum of Understanding with QNET demonstrates how collaboration between law enforcement and the private sector can deliver meaningful results in tackling fraud and protecting citizens. Such partnerships are essential in addressing the evolving nature of organised financial crime,” Archer said.
QNET and EOCO formalized their partnership in 2025 through a Memorandum of Understanding centered on intelligence sharing, investigative cooperation, public awareness and victim support. Since then, both institutions have worked together to combat criminal networks that misuse the QNET brand through fraudulent employment offers, fake overseas recruitment schemes and human trafficking operations.
Beyond Ghana, QNET said it has expanded partnerships with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies across several jurisdictions to identify the criminal misuse of its brand, support investigations and strengthen consumer protection.
Mildenborn said the company’s endorsement of the UNODC-INTERPOL framework reflects a long-term commitment to international cooperation in combating organized fraud.
“Public-private partnerships are no longer optional in the fight against organised fraud—they are essential,” he said. “Our endorsement of the Framework reflects our long-term commitment to sharing practical experience, supporting investigations, protecting consumers and working alongside international partners to ensure legitimate businesses cannot be exploited by organised criminal networks.”
