To support anti-trafficking activities in Cambodia
Strategic Objective (SO) 12: Improved Political and Economic
Governance part of the “Protect Human Rights” common program
component.
The goal is to reduce the number of people trafficked, bring
traffickers to justice and empower the survivors to recover from
trauma, poverty, and unemployment through:
1- Prevention activities are broadly defined as anything that can
reasonably be expected to prevent men, women and children
from being trafficked.
2- Protection activities give trafficking victims the shelter, care
and services they require after being pulled out of an
exploitative situation.
3- Prosecution activities focus on supporting investigations and
prosecution of criminal traffickers.
4- Reintegration activities help trafficking victims to integrate
back into society and give them the support and skills necessary
to lead productive lives.
Gender is a cross-cutting theme in USAID/Cambodia’s new
Strategy, and USAID promotes gender mainstreaming in all
programs. Applicant should discuss the most significant gender
issues involved in trafficking for labor and sexual exploitation.
Applicants are encouraged to review the draft “USAID/Cambodia
Gender Analysis and Assessment.
