International Organization for Migration (IOM) – curriculum on Trafficking in Persons in the South African context
Trafficking in Persons is a bigger problem than most people realise, and SA is committed to reducing/eliminating this crime. Various departments need to be familiar with and adhere to new laws and procedures in this regard. Intelesi developed new manuals (following work done in 2009), and provided train-the-trainer workshops for each of the four departments (DHA, DoH, DEL, and DSD) on Trafficking in Persons. The extensive training that took place subsequently contributed to SA’s improved rating of Tier 2 on the US Watchlist in 2020. Sadly, SA was downgraded to the Tier 2 Watchlist in 2021, due to changes within the NPA, and the impact of COVID on departmental activities.
