SEYCHELLES PARTICIPATES IN REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON CHEMICAL SECURITY IN AFRICA.

Seychelles was represented at the Regional Workshop on Strengthening the Implementation and Enforcement of Chemical Security Legislation in Africa, held from 6 to 8 October 2026 in Rabat, Morocco. The Seychelles delegation comprised of Mrs. Yvette Campanella Rumbos of the Seychelles Revenue Commission, together with representatives from the Trade Department and the Attorney General’s Office.

Organised by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW); in cooperation with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), the workshop aimed to support African States Parties in strengthening national legal frameworks, enhancing enforcement mechanisms, and improving coordination among authorities responsible for chemical security.

The three-day workshop brought together representatives from National Authorities, law enforcement agencies, customs authorities, regulatory bodies, and judicial and prosecutorial institutions. Through technical training, scenario-based discussions, and tabletop exercises, participants explored practical approaches to addressing chemical security challenges, including cross-border enforcement and the prevention of the diversion of toxic chemicals for criminal or terrorist purposes.

Seychelles’ participation provided an opportunity to exchange experiences with regional counterparts and strengthen inter-agency cooperation in support of the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540(2004).

The workshop contributed to ongoing efforts to translate international commitments into effective national enforcement practices and strengthen chemical security across the African region.

SRC Continues Enforcement Awareness Campaign with SALS Students

On Tuesday, 6 October 2026, the Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC), through its Enforcement Section and Taxpayer Education and Service Delivery (TESD), conducted an awareness and education session with students at the Seychelles Advanced Level Studies (SALS).

The session introduced students to the role of the Enforcement Section in promoting tax compliance and addressing cases where taxpayers fail to meet their obligations under Seychelles’ tax laws.

Students learned about the importance of meeting their tax responsibilities, maintaining accurate records and complying with tax requirements. The discussion also highlighted how tax compliance contributes to government revenue, which helps fund public services and supports national development.

Through engagements such as these, the SRC aims to equip young people with a better understanding of their tax responsibilities before they enter the workforce or establish businesses of their own.

This initiative forms part of the SRC’s ongoing Enforcement Awareness Campaign and its wider efforts to encourage voluntary compliance and promote a culture of responsible tax behaviour across Seychelles.
