Pacific RISE-CTIP

The Pacific Regional Initiative and Support for More Effective Counter Trafficking in Persons (Pacific RISE-CTIP) focuses on domestic and regional trafficking in persons issues in the Pacific Island countries. The objective of Pacific RISE-CTIP is to combat trafficking in persons in the Pacific Island countries through reduction in the incidence and vulnerability for trafficking, enhanced mechanisms and strategies to prevent trafficking, improved protection services to victims, and increased access to legal services and remedies. The activity will achieve this objective by applying a holistic and multi-sectoral approach taking into consideration the priorities across the four pillars of the USG counter trafficking strategy - prevention, protection, prosecution and partnerships, the USAID Trafficking in Persons Policy and the recommendations for the Pacific Island countries as stated in the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons.
