Combating Trafficking in Person (CTIP)

(Nepal): To address the multi-dimensional issue of trafficking in Nepal, USAID adopted a comprehensive approach through its Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) project. USAID's $6.8 million program began in August 2010 and will end in July 2015. The CTIP Program aims to stimulate a sustainable, comprehensive, and integrated counter-trafficking initiative in Nepal. This will be accomplished by strengthening coordination and collaboration across a diverse group of Nepali government and civil society stakeholders. Based on the - Three P's approach - protection, prevention, and prosecution - the CTIP program will promote efforts by the government and non-government stakeholders across all the three components. CTIP's strategy is to work simultaneously at the national and local level to strengthen policy processes and implementation, capacity building efforts, and utilize new opportunities to optimize impacts under the ?three Ps.? The program will strengthen the policy framework for victim care, increase community engagement efforts to prevent trafficking and reintegrate victims, increase respect for the rights of victims among law enforcement and judicial officials, and expand and improve shelter and community-based services available to victims. The project will also engage the Government of Nepal (GON) to improve pre-departure migrant orientation systems and other safe migration policies, and expand the capacity of the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare and the National Committee to Control Human Trafficking to be more effective policy and resource advocates on Trafficking in Persons (TIP). The protection component will focus on a holistic process in rehabilitation and reintegration of TIP victims by formulating and implementing strong policies and improving implementation. Development of National Minimum Standards and Standard Operating Procedures with a victim-care focus will strengthen the protection and prosecution policy frame
