Project Overview

Outputs:

The project focuses on internal and cross-border trafficking in children and women for labour exploitation, including sexual exploitation. Activities are being implemented in Cambodia, China's Yunnan Province, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Viet Nam, and at Mekong Sub-regional level.

The development objective of the project is to contribute to the elimination of labour exploitation of children and women, and in particular the trafficking of children and women in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, through the development, implementation and monitoring of effective and integrated sub-regional and national strategies and actions. Its three immediate objectives are (1) to develop national frameworks, structures, policies and processes to address trafficking, (2) to supplement the knowledge base relating to trafficking and labour migration in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region with new and updated information and develop a sub-regional platform for sharing information, and (3) to support government efforts to mainstream good practices in community-based prevention. The project will have eight major outputs:

  • National frameworks against trafficking developed and/or strengthened with functioning implementation plans and monitoring mechanisms;
  • In-country mechanisms for monitoring and information exchange developed and functioning;
  • Previous project experiences, lessons and technical products adapted and mainstreamed to national, provincial and local-level authorities through capacity building and training;
  • Gaps in research and information relating to trafficking, labour migration and exploitation, and responses to these identified and addressed;
  • Sub-regional platform for exchange of experiences and information sharing developed and functioning;
  • Sub-regional and country strategies developed to articulate trafficking within the labour migration framework;
  • Pilot programmes of community-owned prevention interventions refined, monitored for impact, evaluated, and mainstreamed into larger frameworks;
  • Workers and employers mobilized and sector-specific policies, programmes or projects against trafficking developed.
