successes of past USAID supported activities and advance three inter-related objectives that work to reduce the risk of human trafficking and unsafe migration and build resilience to trafficking-in-persons (TIP) at individual, community and national levels.

Key components of this three-pronged approach of the Cambodia CTIP program will focus on expanding economic, vocational, educational, and other livelihood opportunities for at-risk populations; improving the identification and protection of human trafficking victims; and increasing the likelihood of successful prosecution of perpetrators through legal aid and security sector training.

Through the Cambodia CTIP program, USAID will coordinate closely with key stakeholders, including other U.

government (USG) agencies and donors, while placing a particular emphasis on prevention, protection, and prosecution activities as well as building and strengthening partnerships to ensure effective implementation of the program and broader CTIP efforts.
