Support to the Capacity of the Tanzanian Government and NGOs to Assist Victims of Human Trafficking

The Government of Tanzania, in accordance with international obligations of the United Nations Protocol on Trafficking in Human Beings (2000), enacted an Anti-Trafficking law in 2009. This project, developed upon the request of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare/ Department of Social Welfare (DSW), focuses on facilitating the implementation of the new anti-trafficking legislation. This will involve increasing internal and external coordination within the DSW including with NGOs, in order to ensure a reliable and safe network for referral and attention to victims of human trafficking.

The project will support the Tanzanian civil society to deliver direct assistance to victims of trafficking.
