Project Overview

Main Project Approaches:

The project addresses trafficking in children and women preventively and holistically and is designed for and implemented at sub-regional level, incorporating five different countries. Sub-regional, national, provincial / district and community level are actively inter-linked in the project through regular cross sharing of information, and reporting on lessons learned in targeted sites in such a way that they inform future policy making:

Following project approaches are special features of the project and are applied in each of the countries:

  • Participation and Ownership: The project has emphasized genuine participation in all its forms right from the start, in particular the need to listen to key stakeholders and village beneficiaries in order to take on board their intimate knowledge of the local situation and the issues surrounding trafficking as they experience them. More…
  • Holistic and Integrated: A holistic and integrated approach has been intrinsic to the design of the project, which is addressing trafficking in children and women as a multi-faceted problem. More…
  • Replication, Mainstreaming and Empowerment: Replication is seen as essential for the project if the same problem exists elsewhere and can be addressed in those areas in a similar way or with some modification. More…
  • Multi-level Interventions: The overall aim of coordination at different levels within the project is to add value to each other's work, avoid duplication of effort and wastage of resources, and to create solidarity and strength in advocacy. More…
  • Information Sharing / Interagency Collaboration: Trafficking in children and women is a complex issue which has many social and cultural dimensions and is therefore of concern to many and varied institutions, governmental and non-governmental, which are active in similar or related fields. More…
  • Child-focused: The project takes an approach in which children are the focus of design, implementation and evaluation of project interventions and activities addressing their situation. More…
  • Integrated Gender Component: Measures to prevent trafficking in children and women have to address practical and strategic gender needs throughout the project. These relate to inadequacies in living and working conditions of the target groups as well as to inequalities between men and women. More…
