Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through International Organisation for Migration]

The aim of this project is to build the capacity of Niger to promote the investigation of trafficking crimes and prosecution of offenders, in line with international and regional legal instruments. Within this project, IOM will conduct an assessment of TIP in the country as well as a legislative review.

Following the assessment, IOM will implement a capacity building program for judicial and law-enforcement officials on trafficking in persons, with a train the trainers component to ensure sustainability through replication.

IOM will also involve Local Surveillance Committees in the project, by providing them with training on trafficking concepts and victim identification, and encouraging cooperation with authorities through victim referrals.
