This project examines the contextual factors underlying human smuggling and trafficking into, within, and from Ghana. It aims to strengthen the capacity of relevant institutions to detect, prevent, arrest, and prosecute perpetrators while safeguarding the rights and rehabilitation of victims. The project contributes to Ghana’s efforts to comply with the minimum standards of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and to achieve SDG Target 8.7, which seeks to eradicate forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking, and the worst forms of child labour.
