Benefiting Member States
Saint Lucia
The objective of this project is to strengthen Saint Lucia’s capacity to assist victims of trafficking and sensitize the broader Saint Lucian public about trafficking in persons.
This project will build on the opportunity to create synergies between the activities of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) – European Union (EU) Migration Action programme and this project.
Drawing on recommendations provided by specialists, this project aims to deliver an operational database to manage and process trafficking cases, and a full-scale national campaign to raise awareness about trafficking in persons. It will equally support a series of training workshops with a focus on identification, referral and protection of victims of trafficking complementary to those encompassed under the ACP-EU Migration Action programme, and directed at key front-line officials, diplomatic personnel, health providers and civil society stakeholders.
Finally, by including the identification and training of a designated focal point within the Ministry of Home Affairs and National Security, the project hopes to achieve widespread capacity building among key stakeholders by enabling the Government to continue training activities beyond the lifetime of the project.
