Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 61
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Second, in order to ensure that preventive measures achieve the desired effect while enhancing the human rights of trafficked persons, such measures should be systematically monitored and evaluated on a regular basis. Some international organizations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and ILO have developed logical frameworks with specific performance indicators that measure progress towards goals in anti-trafficking programmes. However, there is a general lack of systematic monitoring and assessment of the impact and effectiveness of prevention measures, and many assessments commonly report only the project outputs, such as the number of people who have been exposed to awareness-raising activities or given livelihood opportunities. While such reporting may indicate progress towards project goals to some extent, it does not necessarily shed light on the qualitative impact in terms of reducing the incidence of trafficking in persons. Proper impact assessments require measuring the situation before and after the implementation of the preventive measures concerned and identifying how they affected the behavioural change in the communities concerned. In this process, it is also essential to take into account the views of the intended beneficiaries. ILO has developed a participatory monitoring system for its Project to Combat Trafficking in Children and Women in the Greater Mekong Subregion that involves relevant key stakeholders - government officials, project partners and families whose children are at risk of trafficking - in assessing the impact of its activities.
