Main Project Approaches - Participation and Ownership :
Participatory approaches are the norm throughout the project, and particularly in research, training, planning, implementation, and project monitoring. Engagement of stakeholders started during the project preparation phase in 1998/1999 - prior to the start of the current project phase - by involving them in research in all five countries, by conducting needs assessments and stakeholder analyses, and by engaging them in national and sub-regional consultations. Such participation throughout the project life-time is thought to build ownership among local stakeholders. There are two types of ownership in the project. The first concerns national, provincial and district government ownership of the overarching structure of the project, and ownership of the issue of trafficking. The second concerns ownership by the beneficiaries - those at risk of trafficking - of the direct assistance' projects at village level.
