Activities: Trafficking in Persons
The U.S. Government is committed to fighting trafficking
in persons with an integrated approach based on prevention,
protection and assistance for victims, and prosecution of
traffickers. USAID plays a key part in this effort, principally
through its missions. The Office of Women in Development coordinates
USAID's anti-trafficking efforts, gathering and disseminating
information on the Agency's efforts, leading a USAID working
group and participating in interagency anti-trafficking work.
The WID Office provides two types of assistance to support
the anti-trafficking efforts of USAID missions and bureaus:
1) technical assistance for anti-trafficking activities and
research and 2) incentive funding for activities in the field.

Incentive Funding for USAID Anti-trafficking
Activities
Implementing Partners: USAID missions and
bureaus; non-governmental organizations.
Length of Activity: Varied.
Objective: The WID Office funds a limited
number of anti-trafficking activities in the field. Most of
these are jointly funded with USAID missions or regional bureaus.
The WID Office looks for anti-trafficking activities that
break new ground, build on other USAID work (such as girls'
education), have potential regional anti-trafficking benefits
or make an important contribution to USAID/USG anti-trafficking
efforts but would not otherwise be funded.
Activities:
2001
Central Asian Republics - public awareness,
hotline and workshop for legislators in Kazakhstan.
Latin America/Caribbean Bureau - regional
study on anti-trafficking, with Organization for American
States.
Romania - using labor resource centers to
increase awareness of child labor including child trafficking
for prostitution and pornography.
Uganda - rehabilitation for former victims
of abduction in northern villages devastated by conflict.
2002
Brazil - anti-trafficking outreach to workers
in the transport and tourism industry to complement USAID/Brazil's
comprehensive anti-trafficking work with Brazilian NGOs and
government officials.
Haiti - research on Haitian children trafficked
to the Dominican Republic, to complement USAID/Haiti support
for NGO outreach and advocacy for stronger and better enforced
laws against child trafficking.
Mali - community awareness and leadership
training, building on parent associations fostered by girls'
education activities of USAID/Mali and the WID Office.
Thailand - through a grant to World Vision,
fighting trafficking from Burma to Thailand by raising awareness
in the local community and helping develop capacity to design
and implement suitable community-based responses.
