Nature of the Consultancy

Capacity building for diplomats on combating human trafficking through trainings and development of consular manual on counter trafficking

Background Information:

IOM under its Enhancement of National Capacities to Combating Human Trafficking in Azerbaijan (ENCT) project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Azerbaijan in effectively countering human trafficking and protecting victims of human trafficking. Specifically, the project aims to enhance regional and international cooperation and partnerships to fight against human trafficking and protect trafficked persons. Skilled and trained personnel (including diplomats, administrative and technical/service staff) of diplomatic representations (i.e. embassies and consulates), in addition to law enforcement officers and customs officers either abroad or at home, play a major role in increasing identification, referral and protection of workers who could fall prey to exploitation and trafficking. It is, therefore, indispensable to raise awareness and capacitate personnel of diplomatic representations (PDRs) to equip them with adequate skills to identify and refer victims of trafficking. Furthermore, increased knowledge and understanding about the international, regional and national labour and employment legislation would also ensure full compliance of PDRs to enable better protection of migrants and vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
