Training expert in training engineering – Smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons

In the perspective to support the government of Egypt in addressing the risks of transnational organised crime associated with the evolving and complex migration landscape in the country and the wider region, CIVIPOL in partnership with ONUDC is implementing the project “Partnership to Counter the Smuggling of Migrants and Trafficking in Persons in Egypt (PACSOM)”. This project seeks to contribute to improved, rights-based, and gender sensitive national responses to counter the smuggling of migrants (SOM) and trafficking in persons (TIP), and has four areas: 

• Area I: Improve the detection, identification and investigation capacities of frontline law enforcement actors

• Area II: Improve the prosecution, and adjudication capacities of prosecutorial and judicial criminal justice actors

• Area III: Improve the identification, referral, assistance and protection of victims of human trafficking and smuggled migrants

• Area IV: Strengthen strategic and policy frameworks to address both smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons

In line with its four focused areas, the programme will work to achieve four medium-term outcomes, as follows :

Outcome 1. Frontline law enforcement actors (Ministry of Interior and Administrative Control Authority), forensic experts (MoI) and forensic specialists (MoJ) in Egypt effectively detect, identify, and investigate an increased number of SOM and TIP related crimes using a human-rights-based, gender-sensitive and victim-centred approach. 

Outcome 2. Ministry of Justice and Public Prosecution officials demonstrate increased capacities to successfully prosecute and adjudicate an increased number of smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons per cases using a human right based, gender-sensitive and victim-centred approach.

Outcome 3. National actors identify, refer and protect victims of human trafficking and the rights of smuggled migrants using a human rights-based, gender equal, trauma-informed and victimcentred approach. 

Outcome 4. Egyptian authorities effectively and efficiently implement evidence-based strategies and policies in relation to the smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons.
