Within the framework of the project to combat trafficking in the Republic of Congo, the IBCR completed a mapping exercise which provided a census of the actors who are or who should be involved in fighting child trafficking. This work allowed the IBCR to gain a broader understanding of the current situation of child trafficking in Congo, including the mandates and activities of both State and non-State actors. The project then resulted in the production of an analysis of the needs of the gendarmes and police officers, as well as social workers, in order to establish a training program that is adapted to their specific needs and to the context in which they operate.
Following the police and gendarmes trainings, the IBCR will move on to the second part of this project, which consists of designing and facilitating a training program for Congolese social workers in order to improve and assure effective assistance to trafficking victims.
