PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Better Migration Management (BMM) program is based on the third objective within the EU Trust Fund, namely “improved migration management in countries of origin and transit”. It is also contributing to the second objective of the EU Trust Fund that is “strengthening resilience of communities and in particular the most vulnerable, as well as refugees and displaced people”. The BMM program takes up these challenges through a regional approach. It provides capacity building to improve migration management, in particular to prevent and address irregular migration, including smuggling of migrants and trafficking in human beings. The intervention logic is based on four components: (1) support for policy and legislative development and harmonization for better migration and border governance (2) capacity building in the form of training, technical assistance and the provision of appropriate equipment to those implementing migration related policies; (3) support to the identification, assistance and protection of migrants in need; and (4) awareness-raising with regards to alternative livelihood options, including safe migration.
In line with the implementing strategy outlined in the Action Fiche for the implementation of the Horn of Africa Window T05 – EUTF – HoA – REG – 09, the final Description of the Action developed by GIZ as the coordinating agency, and in compliance with the overarching division of labour agreed among the consortium members, Expertise France (EF)’s contribution to the BMM project centres on the second and third specific objectives of the Action, namely:
EF envisages to strengthen the organizational development of inter-ministerial bodies in partner countries, strengthen their coordination roles, assist in the setting up and roll-out of robust systems and protocols, to which Government run Safe Houses should be part of. Given that EF foresees these reception facilities as a component of a boarder protection framework, EF is looking to deploy long term protection and coordination expertise (for a minimum of a 6 to 9 -month period of time) to Counter Trafficking Bodies.
As per the Kenya National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking, various studies have assessed the extent of trafficking in Kenya and have confirmed that Kenya is a country of origin, transit, and destination for trafficked persons.
For the purpose of BMM’s capacity building pillar implementation, EF is looking to second a counter trafficking and coordination expert to Kenya’s Counter Trafficking in Person Advisory Committee herein referred to as CTiP AC.
Two key documents guide the work of the expert: The National Plan of Action for Combating Human Trafficking (Strategic Framework 2013-2017) herein referred to as the NPA; and the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act (No. 8 of 2010) herein referred to as the CTiP Act.
The overall objective of the expert is to strengthen the role of the CtiP AC within Kenya’s National Referral Mechanism (NRM) system, and help achieve its objective to: “advise the Minister on inter-agency activities aimed at combating trafficking and the implementation of preventive, protective and rehabilitative programs for trafficked persons.“
The specific objectives of the expert are to provide the CtiP AC with a comprehensive approach to coordination, capacity building, data collection, information management and sharing, for the purpose of a strengthened victim centred approach within Kenya’s counter human trafficking framework. The expert will support output delivery under CTiP AC’s agreed work plan and will ensure that data collection at various level of identification, referral and assistance to Presumed Victim of Trafficking (PVoT) and Victims of Trafficking (VoT) is harmonized, and protects the rights of victims through a professional victim identification process, provision of better support and protection services, and establishment of programs for full recovery and rehabilitation as envisioned in the CTiP Act and as per NRM guidelines.
