EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) extended the four-year Cambodia Countering Trafficking-in-Persons (CTIP) Program in October 2019 to intensify, sustain, and consolidate selected models of prevention and protection related to reducing forced labor and human trafficking in and from Cambodia. In particular, CTIP committed to: • Strengthening the project’s savings group model; • Adjusting the content and improving the reach of the project’s soft skills trainings for at- risk populations; • Establishing market linkages to empower vulnerable populations and sustain efforts to reduce TIP; • Testing and implementing a sustainability strategy for the Bongpheak job-seeking platform to continue the provision of employment opportunities for Cambodian workers; • Engaging private sector to improve the identification and monitoring of systems to reduce the risks of TIP; and • Engaging government, private sector, and civil society organizations in sustaining services for vulnerable households and victims of human trafficking. In year 5, Cambodia CTIP implemented its interventions with increased attention to ensuring the sustainability of results, attainment of targets and documentation of lessons learned. Following the declaration of a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization, Cambodia CTIP implemented a modified, revised implementation plan through the end of the project in compliance with prescribed USAID, Winrock International, and government guidelines to safeguard the health and safety of its staff, communities, and stakeholders. This annual report highlights the main accomplishments, challenges, lessons learned, and sustainability features of the Cambodia CTIP program during Year 5.

The project aimed to achieve Outcome 1: Intensified implementation, consolidation, and dissemination of selected sustainable livelihood models for TIP prevention.

Despite to modifications necessary to comply with health and safety precautionary measures for the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambodia CTIP achieved moderate achievements this year. The strengthening
