1 TERMS OF REFERENCE TECHNICAL CONSULTANT FOR THE STRENGTHENING COOPERATION ON TIP ENFORCEMENT IN THE WEST AFRICA REGION AND THE MAURITANIA. Background The ECOWAS Commission, in collaboration with the ILO funded through the FMM West Africa project, initiated a process to support the strengthening of the Law Enforcement within the ECOWAS region to combat trafficking in persons. In 204, a quick scan of the status of law enforcement on counter-trafficking in the Member States revealed limited capacity as one of the biggest gaps in law enforcement. Limited human and financial resources in the Member states prevent focal institutions from acting upon information when they get it. In addition, lack of cooperation amongst law enforcement operatives challenges effective anti-tip responses. In view of the identified gap, the project engaged two consultants in the development of relevant tools to support Member States in establishing collaborative law enforcement mechanisms in West Africa and Mauritania. In line with the Terms of Reference for the consultancy, the study was conducted and the draft report reviewed by a technical team comprising of ECOWAS, ILO and ICMPD technical officers. The draft study was also discussed with some key officers from NAPTIP s departments for their inputs. Afterwards, the Consultants reviewed the document based on the inputs provided at the technical meeting and the Member state. The final draft of the study, titled Tools to Strengthen Cooperation Mechanisms in the enforcement of Laws against Human Trafficking in West Africa and Mauritania has been submitted to ECOWAS for final approval and for further action. The report of the study and the identified tools was also presented at a meeting to strengthen sub-regional cooperation to fight against Trafficking in Persons in Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania and Senegal under the DDF component. The responses from participants on the study indicated the importance and relevance of the tool. One success story to be reported was the action taken by NAPTIP after the discussion with the consultant. NAPTIP decided to collaborate with UNODC, under another EU funded project, to develop a Standard Operating Procedure for coordination of Law Enforcement Agencies response on Trafficking in Persons in Nigeria. The report presents the findings of the desk study conducted by the consultants with the aim of developing practical tools that could be used to establish and strengthen collaborative law enforcement mechanisms addressing trafficking in persons (TIP) in West Africa and Mauritania. The tools are expected to support counter trafficking measures of the Economic Community of the West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, Member States and Mauritania; and hence foster effective law enforcement at the sub-regional and national levels. The assessment of collaboration practices at the ECOWAS level and globally is the foundation of the study. Hence, presentation of the finding of the study begins by exploring global collaborative law enforcement practices. This review notes that establishment of TIP specialized
2 agencies including multi-agency taskforces at the local level; establishing partnerships with victim protection and advocacy agencies; supporting coordination mechanisms through National Referral Mechanisms, Standard Operational Procedures, Memorandum of Understanding and Operational Protocols; capacity building and specialist training methods targeting police, other stakeholders and frontline officers and first responders as well as prosecutorial and judicial authorities are some of the key measures taken by promising practices in an effective law enforcement collaboration models around the world. The study further summarizes key features and lessons learned from effective collaboration structures and mechanisms. The review includes national and international level good practices across Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Latin America, South East Asia and Africa. The next section of the report gives an overview of the current and ongoing efforts and the challenges and gaps faced by ECOWAS Member States to collaboratively enforce TIP laws at the national and international levels. Accordingly, the report reveals various encouraging efforts undertaken by many countries to collaboratively address the problem of TIP including by formal and informal measures at the international level and by establishing National Taskforces, TIP dedicated and specialist investigative and prosecutorial agencies, adopting national referral mechanisms and standard operating procedures. The study also reviewed experiences of ECOWAS Member States in the provision of specialist training to police and other front line officers and first responders; in institutionalizing national referral mechanisms; and the implementation of collaboration mechanisms at the national and international level. In addition to reviewing commonly executed strategies and achievements and good practices, the report identifies the challenges and gaps Member States observed in relation to creating specialized agencies for investigation and prosecution of human trafficking and for the coordination of law enforcement efforts with victim support and other response measures. It then concludes that despite commendable efforts in recent years, many countries in the region still face various challenges in enforcing TIP laws and responding to TIP in a coordinated and collaborative framework. Moreover, the existing specialist structures and national taskforces are largely weak to take the responsibility of coordinating law enforcement initiatives with prevention, protection and prosecution responses and TIP information management systems. Finally, the report presents a list of measures recommended at ECOWAS and national level to address the major gaps and challenges in the enforcement of TIP laws and in establishing and enforcing collaborative law enforcement mechanisms. Recommendations proposed by the study include the following: Strengthening Specialist and multiagency agencies so that they play enhanced role in Law enforcement coordination; Standardizing coordination and collaboration mechanisms and Standardizing specialist training programs. To operationalize the report of the study, the ECOWAS Commission with the support from ILO, through the FMM project, plans to establish a regional coordination mechanism of Law Enforcement agencies in combating TIP. To achieve this, a consultant will be engaged to map out existing Law Enforcement Agencies working on eliminating Trafficking in Persons within the ECOWAS region and the Mauritania and also support the process of establishing a regional coordination mechanism and the three-day workshop for Law enforcement agencies.
