Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime]

UNODC will provide technical assistance for the Ministry of Justice in Burundi to draft national legislation that is in alignment with the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Palermo (TIP) Protocol.

UNODC will also conduct in-depth training to improve the capacity of Burundi law enforcement, criminal justice, and judicial agencies.

These trainings will focus on improving skills in identifying TIP victims and effectively investigating and prosecuting TIP offenses.

Trainings will also focus on improving the capacity of civil society organizations to address the rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration of TIP victims.

A final focus of the project will be to assist the Burundi Ministry of Defense in identifying and preventing trafficking activities among demobilized child soldiers.
