U.S. Agency for International Development Policy on Countering Trafficking in Persons   [open pdf - 3MB]

From the Executive Summary: "The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Policy on Countering Trafficking in Persons (C-TIP) strengthens our ability to address the scourge of human trafficking, a massive humanitarian and development challenge which affects millions of people of all ages. This Policy adopts a collaborative and inclusive approach to the '4Ps' paradigm of Prevention, Protection, Prosecution, and Partnerships. USAID deems the protection and empowerment of trafficking survivors a high priority. All USAID staff must play an active role in C-TIP, whether through integrating C-TIP into their sectoral programming, abiding by the Agency's C-TIP Code of Conduct, and/or enforcing C-TIP provisions in awards with implementing partners."
