Context:
The consultancy will support activities within the implementation framework of the Project – Strengthening the Capacity of the Justice Sector to Address Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants in the Edo and Delta States, implemented by the International Organization for Migration(IOM) with funding from the IOM Development Fund (IDF)
The project aims to contribute to Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)’s efforts to combat Trafficking in Persons (TiP) and Smuggling of Migrants (SoM) through Strengthening the Capacity of the Justice Sector to Address Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants in the Edo and Delta States in Nigeria.
While the underlying elements of human trafficking are difficult to understand, governments have an important role in ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice effectively and protection of victims is assured. When officials, throughout the criminal justice sector, have a precise understanding of its core elements, they are better equipped to serve victims and society.
