Background

		In the framework of its activities to address migration traffic-related issues in Kyrgyzstan, the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek continues supporting the Government of Kyrgyz Republic in improving co-operation among different state officials and non-governmental actors and in enhancing their professional capacity and skills. Each year, the POiB organises training sessions and capacity-building activities for state bodies on preventing and combating CTHB with the involvement of implementing partners. The POiB will need additional expert support during training sessions, seminars, conferences, and other types of activities related to CTHB. In particular, the POiB requires the services of an experienced expert for the conduction of the national simulation-based training exercise on CTHB. In 2020 the OSCE POiB hired an expert for the preparation of the National Simulation-based Training Exercise on CTHB. Due to the situation with COVID-19 in the country, the host State decided to postpone the conduction of the exercise to 2021. This year, the OSCE POiB is planning to hire the same expert for finalising the organisation and leading the conduction of the national simulation-based training exercise. Over the last years, the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek has been assisting the host state with the launch and implementation of National Action Plan (NAP) on CTHB for 2017 – 2020 by supporting anti-trafficking stakeholders in improving their professional capacity and inter-agency co-ordination.

In 2021, the SMS will need additional expertise to finalise the NAP and to draft other policy documents, including an emergency protocol on THB. Finally, 2020 the OSCE POiB is supporting the host state in tackling migration-related issues by facilitating dialogue and co-ordination among stakeholders and specialists in the field of migration both at a national and at an international level. In 2020, the POiB organised an online conference on migration, where an expert on THB was involved as speaker and moderator in the session regarding the link between THB and migration. This year, the POiB is planning another regional conference in Osh. The expert required by the POiB will need to contribute to the organisation of the conference in quality of moderator and will hold a presentation in quality of independent expert.
