Alert
Vacancy
Background:
Under the OSCE Presence in Albania (hereinafter the Presence) Extra-budgetary Project “Action Against Human Trafficking in Albania”, funded by UNICEF with the support of the United Kingdom, the Presence will conduct capacity development for the Albanian law-enforcement and judiciary institutions to address trafficking in human beings. The project foresees the development of e-learning modules for the Magistrates School and Security Academy and the organisation of the first Albanian language anti-trafficking simulation-based training exercise. This training promotes an innovative approach to capacity building, whereby anti-trafficking practitioners engage in real-time simulated scenarios to identify and investigate human trafficking. During the training activities, practitioners from Albanian law enforcement, judiciary, labour inspection, migration authorities, NGOs as well as lawyers and human rights defenders will work in teams to investigate simulated cases of labour and sexual exploitation among migrants, including child victims of trafficking.
