A directory of C-TIP in EA PDF Print E-mail

This directory of Counter-Trafficking in Persons (C-TIP)  in EA has been developed through the help of  Meen met een Missie (people in Mission) CMC Netherlands. The directory is a contribution towards building a collaborative knowledge amongst interventions addressing the problem of human trafficking of women and children in Kenya and Tanzania. This directory is accompanied by a study that focused on Human Trafficking of Women and Children for Purposes of Sexual exploitation whose objectives are:

  1. To make an inventory of the faith based initiatives, NGOs, Civic associations and CBOs active in the fight against human trafficking of women and children for purposes of commercial sexual exploitation.
  2. To know and understand what the needs of these organizations are in terms of financial needs, capacity building etc.
  3. To assist actors in Kenya and Tanzania share experiences, skills and information in order to promote general networking and collaboration hence avoiding wastage as a result due to unintended duplication.
  4. To stimulate interest to more organizations to join in the fight against human trafficking in the two countries.

 

The study focused on what is already being done to prevent, offer social support, legal and judicial support, reintegrate or help the victims and survivors of trafficking.  This directory has therefore benefitted much from the above study. While developing this directory we benefited much from other past efforts in this area by IOM. IOM Kenya and Tanzania shared with us documents which were a great help in our field work. IOM Kenya had infact developed a directory of actors which we just replicated here with some additions.

The directory is divided into two parts one covering Kenya and the other covering Tanzania. The major headings of the directory are:

  1. Governmental institutions at national and regional levels
  2. Faith based institutions at national and regional levels
  3. Trade Unions
  4. Networks, advocacy, capacity building and economic empowerment institutions
  5. Rehabilitation and other special services institutions   

The special services further include educational institutions, rescue operations, exposing bogus  agents, tracing and investigation services, targeted legal assistance, psychological counseling,  information provision, documentation and research, health services,  assisting prisoners and ex-prisoners, HIV/AIDS intervention, drugs rehabilitation, youth services and referrals.

To all those who provided assistance to us no matter how small, we appreciate so much and it is our wish that this directory may be a help to many people interested in assisting the victims and survivors of human trafficking in Kenya and Tanzania.
