The area of sports in Ghana has been characterized by episodes of human trafficking, where young individuals find themselves in situations of exploitation or migrate irregularly with the hope of pursuing opportunities in football or other sports clubs outside their home country. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), more than 15,000 children are trafficked from West Africa into Europe every year, many with false hopes of making it as professional footballers. Although the Government of Ghana has confirmed cases of young Ghanian athletes that have been found to be victims of human trafficking abroad, there remains a need to analyze the nature and scope of this issue. Likewise, the opportunities provided by regular pathways often turn out to be unclear. For this reason, this 24-month project aims to contribute to the Government of Ghana’s efforts to address sports-related human trafficking, particularly among youth, through improving the evidence base and expanding on regular pathways for youth in sport. The project has four Outputs: To conduct an assessment to better understand the dynamics, challenges and risks involved in sports-related human trafficking (Output 1.1); The development of a communications strategy and plan to raise awareness on sports-related human trafficking targeting youth and vulnerable communities (Output 1.2); Strengthening the capacities of stakeholders at the national, regional and local level to identify and address the issue (Output 1.3); and to begin implementing the communications strategy by organizing three sports tournaments, which will leverage the power of sport to bring awareness to the risks and challenges in human trafficking in sports (Output 1.4).
