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:
Main Approach
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.

  • 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…

  • 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…
