Support for NGOs assisting victims of human trafficking

Local news, 26.02.2016

Switzerland supports partnerships between public institutions and private organisations assisting victims of human trafficking in view of providing the best services possible.

On 25 February 2016 a call for proposals was launched by the National Agency against Traffic in Persons (ANITP) to finance projects aiming at the improvement of the quality of the assistance of the victims of human trafficking.

For the first time, a partnership between public institutions and non-governmental institutions will be put in place since ANITP, as Executing Agency, will manage these funds.

The Swiss Romanian Cooperation Programme will support, through a grant of 1’200’000 CHF (85% Swiss contribution and 15% Romanian contribution), the NGOs which assist directly the victims of human trafficking. In this respect two calls of proposals will be organised during the coming three years.
