Project Description

Funded by the U.S. Department of State, Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking, this project aims to strengthen Tanzania’s national criminal justice system’s response to trafficking in persons (TIP) and to ensure access to justice and fair treatment for all TIP victims. In doing this, RTI International is conducting a review of current TIP regulations and laws in Tanzania and comparing them with international standards, proposing any rewrites or amendments of the current laws or drafting new laws to better protect victims and enhance national and international coordination. The results of the project are expected to lead to stronger laws and implementing procedures, better victim and witness protections, strengthened capacity within the government entities responsible for implementing the Anti-TIP law, and ultimately, the dismantling and deterrence of traffickers through more effective prosecution.
