BRIEF PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Trafficking-in-persons (TIP) is the fastest growing criminal activity worldwide and takes several forms, including the exploitation of men, women, and children into bonded or abusive labor or the commercial sex trade. TIP is one of the largest sources of illegal income globally. Trafficking violates basic human rights; damages lives; feeds corruption; exerts an economic toll on governments and citizens; and harms society at all levels.

The six-year Bangladesh Counter Trafficking-in-Persons (BC/TIP) Program, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Winrock International, works in 20 trafficking- prone districts to address the trafficking problem. BC/TIP provides robust interventions in all four USAID areas of emphasis: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution, Partnership, and Child Marriage. The project connects local and national government representatives; non-governmental organizations; citizens and community leaders to prevent trafficking-in-persons; protect survivors and reverse the damage done to them; prosecute perpetrators; prevent child marriage; and engage at all levels of society as change agents in curbing the crime.

The BC/TIP program works collaboratively with stakeholders to reduce the prevalence of human trafficking and child marriage in Bangladesh by:

• Strengthening the capacity of communities to identify trafficking victims and take action; • Improving trafficking victims’ access to assistance; • Increasing the responsiveness of criminal justice actors to trafficking victims; • Facilitating effective and coordinated partnerships among stakeholders to combat trafficking; and • Increasing responsiveness of duty bearers and justice actors on child marriage issues The purpose of this report is to outline project achievements and activities undertaken in Quarter 1, Year 6 (October 2019 – December 2019). The report also includes information on the current political situation in Bangladesh and the challenges addressed by the BC/TIP project.

POLITICAL CONTEXT AND ENABLING ENVIRONMENT

Economic and human development:

Bangladesh has an impressive track record for growth and development, aspiring to be a middle-income country by its 50th anniversary of independence. Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in reducing poverty as a result of sustained economic growth. The country has also reduced poverty from 44.2 percent in 1991 to 14.8 percent in 2016/17. At the same time, life expectancy, literacy rates and per capita food production have increased significantly. Rapid growth enabled Bangladesh to reach the lower middle- income country status in 2015. In 2018, Bangladesh fulfilled all three eligibility criteria for graduation from the UN’s Least Developed Countries (LDC) list for the first time and is on track for graduation in 2024. On the other hand, the political and governance situation remains volatile with a culture of no tolerance against opposing views, and the culture of impunity for law enforcers and those belonging to the party in power. Loose control over financial institutions creates an enabling environment for money laundering.

BC/TIP Quarterly Performance Report: Q1 Year 6

Traffickers, in the guise of some of the unscrupulous manpower exporters, enjoy such an environment that influences the increase of trafficking incidents. Rohingyas: As of September 30, 2019, there are 914,998 Rohingya individuals in Bangladesh: 905,822 refugees identified in camps according to the RRRC-UNHCR Registration exercise (including 34,172 registered before August 31, 2017) and 9,176 in host communities in Teknaf and Ukhia.1 This population has an enormous need for humanitarian services, placing an immense strain on an already resource-constrained service delivery system. Given uncertainties and expected delays in repatriation, the Government of Bangladesh will continue to deliver humanitarian aid directly and through UN agencies and local and international NGOs. BC/TIP in Cox’s Bazar:

Given the above context, counter-trafficking experts have warned that exploitation in refugee camps and host communities of Cox’s Bazar can be tackled only if authorities, local and international agencies, and communities work together. Accordingly, BC/TIP implements TIP and safe migration activities in Cox’s Bazar and supports at-risk populations to address child marriage and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in host communities and Rohingya refugee populations. The BC/TIP program is implementing a carefully designed set of activities to address the issues of trafficking, child marriage and GBV focusing on prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership. The program is working in Ukhia and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar where the Rohingya camps are located and with Rohingya populations and host communities outside of camps. Anti-human trafficking – Bangladesh remains vulnerable:

In 2019, Bangladesh received a waiver to remain on the US State Department’s Tier 2 Watch List for the third year in a row. Countries may stay on the watchlist for two years, after which time they are required to upgrade to Tier 2 or downgrade to Tier 3. Waivers are sometimes provided allowing countries one additional year on the Tier 2 Watchlist. However, to upgrade to Tier 2 in 2020, Bangladesh must not only demonstrate “significant efforts” but must demonstrate “overall increasing efforts” to combat human trafficking. The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) produced the National Plan of Action (NPA) for Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking 2018-2022 which, if adequately implemented, would demonstrate enforcement and implementation procedures enough to meet the Trafficking Victim Protection Act’s (TVPA) minimum standards. Should Bangladesh fail to meet these standards for the April 2019-March 2020 reporting period and be downgraded to Tier 3, the government risks losing non- humanitarian and non-trade related funding. Prioritized recommendations from the TIP report include increasing prosecutions and convictions (including cases involving Rohingya), eliminating recruitment fees for migrant workers, expanding victim services, enhancing training, and allowing the Rohingya freedom of

movement, access to education, and employment opportunities. BC/TIP is working with authorities to implement programs and procedures in support of these goals.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES

The following outcomes were achieved in Quarter 1, Year 6 under each intermediate result (IR):

IR 1. Prevention: Strengthened capacity of communities to identify and prevent TIP The BC/TIP program prevention component has a constant focus on increasing the ability of communities to identify and prevent TIP; take necessary action; develop the capacity of local government institutions to combat TIP; and make referrals to services for people at-risk of TIP and victims.

BC/TIP equips community members with tools, supports and innovative methods to inform and mobilize communities in terms of preventing TIP episodes/traffickers, protecting at-risks and victims, and connecting to service providers, addressing root causes of TIP, child marriage, and gender-based violence, and promoting safe and orderly practices of labor migration. Strategically, BC/TIP’s prevention component works on six core areas: i) strengthening peer leader volunteer groups, ii) mobilizing communities on root causes of TIP, iii) orienting potential migrants on safe and orderly practices and TIP related risks and vulnerabilities associated with migration, iv) motivating CTCs at various levels, v) sensitizing incumbent government counterparts, private TTCs, and other service providers to combat TIP, promote safe and orderly practices of labor migration and vi) availing support and services for the people at risk of TIP and victims/survivors of TIP.

In Q1 of Y6, BC/TIP prevention component organized training programs and follow-up- coordination meetings for peer leader volunteer groups. Peer leaders also identified people at-risk and victims of TIP and referred them to services and conducted community awareness sessions at various levels. BC/TIPBC/TIP’s prevention component implemented multiple public awareness and mobilization activities and disseminated innovative messages to community people. BC/TIP and its sub-grantees organized and facilitated pre-decision and pre-departure training for potential migrant workers so that they can make informed decisions before going abroad. Additionally, BC/TIP and its implementing partners observed International Youth Day, International Human Rights Day and International Migrants Day with a view to aware community people on TIP, safe migration and migrants’ rights.

One of the major focus of BC/TIP has been strengthening of CTCs at various levels. Accordingly, BC/TIP sub- grantees organized several activities including capacity building training, activation meetings and follow- up discussions on their progress. These trainings and meetings were aimed at making their perception clear of TIP and related issues. The program also mobilized CTC members to work at the community level to prevent TIP episodes, protect people at-risks and victims, identify traffickers and promote safe and orderly labor migration. As a result of the trainings and meetings as outlined above, CTC members became activated and started functioning in terms of organizing regular monthly meetings, identifying people at- risks of TIP and survivors, participating in BC/TIP activities, conducting awareness activities at community level, and providing TIP related reports to the concerned persons/authority. Previously, BC/TIP faced obstacles in mobilizing licensed recruiting agencies towards promoting safe and orderly labor migration, as they have been reluctant to develop collaboration with BC/TIP and its sub- 7

grantees. In this reporting period, BC/TIP addressed the issue by engaging in dialogue with them that enabled BC/TIP to organize training for the owners and officials from 16 licensed recruiting agencies. BC/TIP expects to create an opportunity to develop further collaboration and cooperation with those and other recruiting agencies to promote fair, ethical and responsible overseas recruitment practices in Bangladesh.

BC/TIP prevention component will reinforce these endeavors in the days ahead with a , and focus on the articulation of results of interventions. IR 2. Protection Outcomes: Improved access of trafficking victims to assistance The BC/TIP Protection component works to provide holistic assistance for survivors. It also includes shelter homes and reintegration support, building a comprehensive referral system, promoting survivor leadership and establishing community-based reintegration support. Within Bangladesh, the ranges of support measures available to victims of TIP include:

• Provision of shelter accommodation • Immediate health care assessment and treatment • Psychological assessment and counseling • Interpretation of procedures in the first language of the victim • Legal advice and support • Livelihoods support

BC/TIP promotes the understanding that all trafficking victims should be offered high-quality individualized assistance, supported in regaining control of their lives, and empowered to make informed decisions about the options available to them. IR 3. Prosecution Outcomes: Increased responsiveness of criminal justice actors to trafficking victims

BC/TIP Prosecution component activities are based on the conviction that an effective criminal justice Response to trafficking is essential to end impunity for traffickers and ensure security and justice for trafficked persons. Key elements of an effective Response include: a strong and realistic legal framework; adoption of provisions of the Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking Act 2012 (PSHTA) and Rules 2017 and National Action Plan (NPA) 2018-2022; capable frontline and specialist investigators; informed and sensitized committed judges and public prosecutors; a working system for quick and specific identification of victims and referrals to services; and mechanisms to encourage cooperation between criminal justice agencies and NGOs providing services to victims to ensure access to justice.

In Q1 of Y6, BC/TIP continued to build the capacity of criminal justice actors, including judicial officers (Judges, Magistrates), police, public prosecutors, and district legal aid panel lawyers. In total, six events including training, workshop and awareness-raising session have been conducted. The events included one training for Judicial Officers (Judges, Magistrates); two trainings for first responding police officers; two workshops for police-prosecutors at the district level; and one training for the public prosecutors.

Additionally, BC/TIP attended a meeting with additional DIG, Forensic training Institute (FTI) and explained the importance of incorporating BC/TIP training module in to FTI’s regular curriculum. Besides, the prosecution team attended meeting with DIG, special crime management division, Police Head Quarters,

and Secretary, Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs for organizing training with police monitoring cell.

During the reporting period, BC/TIP followed up cases filed under PSHTA and for arbitration in BMET. The team also worked closely with the Judicial Administration Training Institute (JATI) to include trafficking-in- persons as a topic in their curriculum.

To ensure a coordinated approach across the prosecution component, BC/TIP continuously focuses on coordination and cooperation with other prosecution-related organizations, such as Justice and Care, Justice Watch Foundation, NLASO, JATI, Solicitors Wing under Justice Division of Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (MoLJPA).

IR 4. Partnership Outcomes: Effective and coordinated partnership among stakeholders to combat trafficking The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) launched the NPA for Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking 2018-2022 in December 2018, supported by BC/TIP. The GOB announced in September 2019 it would accede to the United Nations Palermo Protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children. United Nations organizations, United States Government and CSOs, including BC/TIP, jointly advocated for the GOB to accede to the protocol. BC/TIP continued its partnership with private sector entities including TTCs for training and with private recruiting agencies to promote fair, ethical and responsible overseas labor recruitment practices.

IR 5. Child Marriage Outcomes: Effective and coordinated partnership among stakeholders to combat trafficking During Q1 of Y6, BC/TIP partners conducted seven trainings with marriage registrars on child marriage issues to raise awareness and prevent registration of underage marriages in their localities. They also conducted six orientations with UP members, VAW prevention committee members, CTC members and 10 orientation for other stakeholders including SMC, Local Leaders, Teachers, and Local Journalists to make them aware of the importance of stopping child marriage and subsequently engage them in preventing child marriage. The peer leaders and ANIRBAN members, in association with BC/TIP’s sub-grantees, conducted 125 community sessions on child marriage. The sub-grantees identified 50 child marriage victims and 64 girls that are at risk of child marriage. They also provided the victims with different support and services. The program also provided the at-risks and victims of child marriage with one batch of life skills training to make each of them capable of acting as changemakers in their respective communities. In addition, BC/TIP developed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) on child marriage issue, and its subgrantee RDRS in collaboration with a community radio broadcast the PSA. In addition, BC/TIP developed a Public Service Announcement (PSA) on the child marriage issue, and its subgrantee RDRS in collaboration with a community radio broadcast the PSA. The program through the same partners also telecast nine magazines and talk shows on the same issue.

IR 6. Knowledge Management and Learning Outcomes: Increased use of learning activities to improve performance and achieve results Starting in Q3, BC/TIP expanded activities of the M&E unit to include a structured Knowledge Management and Learning (KML) component. The KML component reinforces the Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) mechanisms used in BC/TIP’s work to scale up learning among BC/TIP staff and partners. The KML component also enhances the capacity of stakeholder groups for systematic change in the community, local institution and government service delivery for combating trafficking, child marriage, and countering violent extremism. BC/TIP continuously emphasizes evidence-based program implementation and a strong monitoring process through systematic M&E data management. In this quarter, BC/TIP developed and posted an RFP to hire international consultant firm to carry out KML activities and the end line survey, develop learning papers, and produce success stories. Digital Express (DE) completed its first contract for database development this quarter and is further contracted to pin BC/TIP’s working areas and program coverage in Google Maps to view and produce visual presentations of BC/TIP activities. BC/TIP also conducted refresher trainings on the mobile application for all users of web-based M&E software in four clusters of BC/TIP, updated its Microsoft Excel-based database of core performance indicators, and updated TraiNet. Finally, the consultant firm Catalyzer was contracted to carry out study on the implication of adoption section 19 in CMR Act 2017

IR 1. PREVENTION: Strengthen Capacity of Communities to Identify and Prevent TIP

To increase the capacity of targeted communities in preventing TIP and identifying at-risk people and trafficking victims, BC/TIP’s prevention component works through two approaches: i) increasing capacity of local people to identify and prevent trafficking, and ii) enhancing capacity of local institutions to prevent trafficking incidents.

Sub-IR 1.1. Increased Capacity of Communities to Identify and Prevent Trafficking

BC/TIP Quarterly Performance Report: Q1 Year 6

BC/TIP prevention component has a core concentration on strengthening the capacity of local communities to interpret and prevent TIP situations. In Q1, BC/TIP and its implementing partners worked to increase the capacity of peer leader volunteer groups. In order to raise awareness among communities, BC/TIP’s implementing partners conducted various community awareness programs. On the other hand, with an aim to prepare the potential migrant workers, BC/TIP sub-grantees and partners provided pre-migration orientations on informed decisions and safe practices of overseas recruitment focusing on TIP issues.

Sub-IR 1.1. Activity A: Peer Leaders Program In BC/TIP program, peer leaders work as key actors to disseminate awareness messages to communities and ensure sustainability of prevention interventions. It is expected that peer leaders will work as a change agent in their respective communities, particularly in post BC/TIP program period. In the first quarter of year 6, both BC/TIP and its sub-grantees conducted trainings and organized follow-up and coordination meetings to strengthen the capacity of peer leaders and engage them at community level interventions.

Sub-IR 1.1. Task A.1: Training of Peer Leaders and Survivors’ Voice ANIRBAN ToT for Peer Leaders on TIP and Issues

In Q1 of Y6, BC/TIP’s sub-grantee BITA conducted one basic training of trainers (ToT) for 22 (F- 06, M- 16) newly identified community-based peer leaders. BITA organized the training in Patiya Upazila under Chattogram district from November 12 to 13, 2019. Besides, BC/TIP sub-grantee RDRS Bangladesh provided a ToT where two newly selected peer leaders participated.

The objective of this training is to capacitate peer leader volunteers on TIP and other related issues to prevent TIP, protect at-risks and victims of TIP, made referrals to relevant service providers, conduct community awareness activities and promote safe and orderly practices of overseas labor migration.

Major agenda of these ToTs included concepts of TIP, people smuggling, forced labor, debt slavery, and their nexus with child marriage and gender-based violence, steps of safe and orderly practices of labor migration, laws and rules related to TIP and safe migration, leadership roles and facilitation skills to conduct community awareness interventions, cooperation mechanism with CTCs to prevent TIP and make referral procedure effective and to avail supports and services from government departments and other agencies.

Facilitators applied lecture, group discussions, group works and flipchart-based presentations in the training.

At the end of these training, peer leaders developed Training of trainers for peer leaders in Chattogram an action plan and implementation strategy to work in their respective communities.

Refresher Training for Peer Leaders and Members of Survivors’ Voice ANIRBAN

BC/TIP Quarterly Performance Report: Q1 Year 6

IR 6. Knowledge Management and Learning: Increased use of learning activities to improve performance and achieve results

BC/TIP Quarterly Performance Report: Q1 Year 6

BC/TIP continuously emphasized evidence-based program management and a strong monitoring process. This is in order to maintain high-quality standards for programming and to best support, the decision- making process through systematic M&E data management, adoption of collaborative learning, and monitoring field program. BC/TIP carries out different types of monitoring, evaluation, research and learning activities in the reporting period as follows. This ensures the quality of the results and that the changes brought to the beneficiaries’ lives are documented.

Sub-IR 6.1. Increased Capacity for Evidence-Based Planning for BC/TIP, Partners and National Stakeholders

Sub IR 6.1. Activity A: Develop a Custom M&E Database To improve data collection and flow between partners in the field and BC/TIP, and to make information more readily available to inform program and management decision-making, BC/TIP rolled out a web- based M&E and mobile application in September 2019. BC/TIP contracted consulting firm Digital Express (DE) to develop the software in December 2018. To develop the web application, Laravel and MySQL and the mobile application, Android was utilized. BC/TIP rolled out the M&E web-based and mobile application software at the end of year five. Since rolled out, the subgrantees staff started entering M&E data in the software immediate after completion of activities, in most cases as a result, BC/TIP gathered 60-70% M&E data to produce the quarterly report using the software. BC/TIP and Digital Express, developer of the software, conducted a day-long re-fresher training in four clusters on mobile application visiting the sub-grantees location. The refresher training enhanced users’ skills to usage the tab for offline data entry as well as make them acquainted with some more functions.

Collaboration with the USAID Asia CTIP program In May 2019, BC/TIP and Winrock CTIP project staff from around the region convened in Bangkok to discuss standardizing the process for measuring CTIP work in the region. Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Specialists and Chiefs of Party (COP) from the USAID-funded CTIP projects and SDC-funded CTIP Project in Bangladesh worked together to more precisely define targets and expected results among USAID-funded CTIP Projects in Asia.

This quarter’s Technical Quarterly Exchange was on the USDOS TIP Report Recommendations: Country Response Evaluation, organized by the USAID Asia CTIP project.

CHALLENGES Prevention:

• Potential migrants who live in remote areas, in many cases, do not go for pre-decision/pre- departure training at the district level as this may cause a loss of income for them; they rather choose to migrate without training on safe migration, putting themselves at risk for human trafficking. • Many CTCs do not organize regular monthly meetings and public awareness campaigns because of limited/no budgetary allocations from the government. CTC members do not pay adequate attention to their duties because of the absence of any direct instructions (letter/office order) from their respective Upazila and District. • Government-run and private service providers are not sensitive about the urgency of immediate support for the people at risk and victims of TIP. Due to this, effective referrals become challenging. Protection: • Winrock has developed Survivor Service Guidelines for Comprehensive Survivor Services, which are yet to be adopted by the Ministry of Social Welfare due to frequent transfer of policy-related personnel in the ministry. • Obtaining approval from the NGO Affairs Bureau is difficult due to the backlog of files at the bureau which resulted in the delay of implementation of sub-grantees activities. • It is a challenge for ANIRBAN as an organization of trafficking survivors to comply with the multitude of requirements for obtaining registration from government entities.

BC/TIP Quarterly Performance Report: Q1 Year 6

• There are very few experts of trauma and psychosocial counselors in Bangladesh that hinder the appropriate reintegration of trafficked victims. • Sometimes a survivor does not meet the instructive prerequisite, as set by the service providers in receiving technical and vocational training, particularly the educational qualification prerequisite. • There are no government-run shelter services for male survivors of trafficking, which is a challenge in ensuring comprehensive survivor services for all survivors. Prosecution:

• There is limited cooperation among relevant stakeholders (justice sectors actors) to ensure justice for the survivors. • Sometimes survivors do not wish to serve as a witness to the investigation officers or police. KML:

• A lengthy procurement process slowed the implementation of research studies and lessons learned documentation. They will proceed next quarter.

• BC/TIP received 60-70% of the M&E data in the automated software from partners, requiring more than usual back and forth to produce the correct indicators table report.

Child Marriage:

• Delay in obtaining approval from the NGO Bureau Affairs due to the bureaucratic bottleneck has slowed down the implementation of the activities to some extent.

Cox’s Bazar Program

• Government directions such as fencing the camp area, restricted movement of program staff in the camp, and some fatal incidents among Rohingya people due to their internal conflict often delayed program implementation in the camp.

• The prolonged approval process of FD-6 for subgrantee YPSA and FD-7 for BITA hampered implementation of activities in due time.

• Sometimes agitation by the host community people against Rohingya community hampers to implement the program activities.

• Due to the tremendous vulnerability of Rohingya people, they to prefer material support over awareness- based support.

• Law enforcement and local political officers, especially police and the Chairman are very busy due to manage those forcibly displaced from Myanmar and it is difficult to get their support for activities.

• Due to the prolonged trial process and financial constraints, victims lose interest to continue cases which results in court negotiation of most cases.
