Homeland Security Digital Library Blog 2013-04-09
Summary:
In February 2012 United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched a new Counter-Trafficking in Persons (C-TIP) Policy to concentrate efforts to combat trafficking on concrete, measurable principles and objectives.
April 2013 USAID released a Counter-Trafficking in Persons Field Guide to provide practical guidance on implementing the USAID’s 2012 C-TIP Policy. “The Guide will also help educate USAID Mission personnel and partners about trafficking more broadly and includes recommendations for integrating C-TIP activities into larger development programs, tools for designing stand-alone activities, and evaluation techniques.”
The Field Guide is part of the Obama Administration’s efforts to combat human trafficking. Other Obama Administration C-TIP resources include:
The White House held a forum today to highlight the significant progress the Administration has made in combat human trafficking.
The President Obama delivered his seminal speech on the fight to end trafficking in persons at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in September 2012.
