Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour
Since 2002, the Special Action Programme to combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL) has spearheaded the ILO’s work by:
- Raising global awareness and understanding of modern forced labour
- Assisting governments to develop and implement new laws, policies and action plans
- Developing and disseminated guidance and training materials on key aspects of forced labour and trafficking
- Implementing innovative projects which combine policy development, capacity building of law enforcement and labour market institutions, and targeted, field-based projects of direct support for both prevention of forced labour and identification and rehabilitation of its victims.
