Project Information
| Project Name: | Combating Child Trafficking in Togo through Education (COMBAT) |
| Project Description: | |
| CARE's COMBAT project joins in the elimination of child trafficking in Togo, particularly among girls in Central and Maritime regions, through improved and extended programs of education and social support. COMBAT targets children 5-14 years old and is implemented in collaboration with the two local organizations that were CARE's partners in PEP (above) and the international group Terre des Hommes. COMBAT contributes to a multidimensional effort against trafficking; complements the government's efforts to create a policy and enforcement environment; mobilizes communities as the key actors in the social-cultural change required for effective prevention; revitalizes the education system as a cornerstone of prevention and re-integration; deploys NGOs as effective intermediaries and complementary service providers; facilitates coordination and collaboration at all levels; and works with and under the auspices of national and international efforts such as International Labor Organization and International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor. | |
