To ask the Secretary of State for International Development in which countries his Department provides funding for non-governmental organisations combating human trafficking.
Stephen O'Brien
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for International Development
The Department for International Development (DFID) currently funds the Salvation Army's Anti-Child Trafficking Project in Malawi. We are also planning a new regional programme aiming to reduce human trafficking in South Asia, which will include work with non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
As well as working with NGOs, DFID works to combat human trafficking with developing country governments and United Nations agencies. We are a leading financier of social protection programmes, which address short-term and long-term vulnerabilities that can put people at risk of trafficking.
