A Counter-Trafficking
: Overview of ICMC Counter-trafficking Programming
South Eastern Europe
ICMC served on the Expert Coordination Team of the Stability
Pact Task Force on Trafficking in Human Beings (headed by OSCE)
for Southeastern Europe. On that team, ICMC was the coordinator
for the Victim Protection Programs. The Task Force and Expert
Team focused on developing national action plans and service packages
for each country in the region.
On behalf of the Stability Pact Task Force on Trafficking in
Human Beings, ICMC and IOM cooperated to establish a Regional
Clearing Point for national networks on victim protection and
assistance. The RCP opened its office in Belgrade in July 2002.
It aimed to contribute to regional anti-trafficking efforts, such
as:
- Increasing the capacity and effectiveness for victim assistance
and protection in the region;
- Furthering the understanding of the trafficking phenomenon;
- Enhancing the further development and coordination of national
referral mechanisms, shelters, and return and reintegration
programs;
- Ensuring quality standards of return, reintegration, and
shelter projects;
- Assuring relevant information exchange.
The First Annual Report on Victims of Trafficking in South Eastern
Europe (September 2003), is available.
