By KTM Metro Reporter
September 14, 2010: the US Agency for International Development in Nepal (USAID/Nepal) has announced the launching of its $6.8 million worth of five-year anti-human trafficking program called Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) in Nepal. The Asia Foundation (TAF) and its eleven partners will implement this program in six high-risk trafficking districts: two Tarai districts such as Banke, and Rupandehi, and four hill districts such as Makwanpur, Kathmandu, Kavre and Sindhupalchok.
The CTIP is for preventing trafficking, protecting victims, and prosecuting traffickers; so it dubbed as three Ps. It will increase action to combat to human trafficking.
The program is for working on national policy, institutional capacity building, and community-based service delivery at the national and local levels simultaneously to close the critical gaps between legal policy frameworks and effective implementation, victims and critical services, and traffickers and justice.
