Module 2: “Responding to Trafficking and Exploitation” (August/September 2018) Participants will deepen their understanding of the nature of trafficking/exploitation, including current real-life cases and emerging trends. Participants will also more deeply explore how best to respond to trafficking and exploitation by examining considerations for effective responses, identifying existing resources and gaps in response, and evaluating how their organization can increase the effectiveness of their programs.

Module 3 and following: “Excellence in Response” (September 2018 - April/May 2019) Participants will engage with principles and tools of community development, program development, organizational development, and leadership development essential for effective responses to trafficking and exploitation, and apply what they have learned to improve the success their own projects/programs as well as innovate more strategic responses.
