USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

USAID/RDMA awarded Cooperative Agreement AID-486-LA-17-00001 to Winrock International for the implementation of USAID Thailand Counter Trafficking in Persons (USAID Thailand CTIP), the Associate Award (AA) under the USAID Asia Counter Trafficking in Persons (USAID Asia CTIP) and the Leader with Associates Award (LWA) mechanism on September 17, 2017. This five-year USD $10 million project aims to reduce trafficking in persons (TIP) and to better protect the rights of trafficked persons in Thailand. This report details project implementation; including activities, achievements and challenges, for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2019.

During this quarter, the project conducted a series of meetings with the Division of Anti- Trafficking in Persons under Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and expanded relationship with key governmental agencies including the Department of Fisheries, to ensure effective cooperation in combatting trafficking in persons in Thailand, specifically labor trafficking in seafood supply chains. In addition, USAID Thailand CTIP completed the subaward signing and onboarding process with all five grantees: Freedom Development Foundation (The Freedom Story), Foundation of Child Understanding (FOCUS), Raks Thai, Labor Rights Promotion Network (LPN) and SideKick.

The highlights of USAID Thailand CTIP activities under each Intermediate Result (IR) this quarter include:

Intermediate Result 1: Reduced demands and incentives for trafficked labor

• Building on the completion of the Rapid Partnership Appraisal (RPA), USAID Thailand CTIP proceeded to develop selected private sector partnership opportunities with: 1) Energaia in supporting livelihood opportunities for TIP survivors through spirulina production; 2) FairAgora and PepsiCo in adopting technology solutions to improve labor transparency in the sugarcane industry in Thailand; 3) roundtable series for building CTIP business cases with companies operating in Thailand. • Two companies were identified to implement technology-related and market research activities under the partnership with Mars Petcare, financed by the company. • A Project level Communication Framework was developed and finalized and will be used to guide the development of communication strategies by project partners, aid coordination of communication related activities, and make sure activities remain informed by the formative research and key insights.

Intermediate Result 2: Empower at-risk populations to safeguard their rights

• USAID Thailand CTIP worked with Freedom Collaborative to improve the design and functionalities of the Resource Toolkit ensuring effectiveness of the online learning and information sharing platform. • A formative research summary report was completed by BBC Media Action (BBCMA) and will be used in communication training with grantees. • Labor Migration Policy Status Review was commenced.

• USAID Thailand CTIP successfully lobbied for the Trat Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking Committee to include counter trafficking in their 2019 provincial plan. All four provinces targeted in the project now have a completed TIP Action Plan.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION As a source, transit, and destination country, Thailand faces multiple manifestations of trafficking in persons (TIP), including forced labor and sex trafficking. These acts are fueled by growth and demand for low-skilled labor in sectors such as agriculture and fishing, tourism and hospitality, construction, and food processing. Trafficking is further enabled by a lack of regulation, enforcement and deep-rooted social discrimination. According to the 2016 US Department of State report on trafficking in persons (TIP report), Thailand has 3-4 million migrant workers, many of whom arrived undocumented from neighboring countries to find better paying jobs. More than 53% of unskilled migrant workers are youth. Large populations of ethnic minorities, highland persons, children from rural areas, stateless persons, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) individuals are also at increased risk for trafficking and exploitation due to difficulties they face resulting from discrimination.

Although the Royal Thai Government (RTG) has enhanced efforts to establish Counter Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) systems and processes, many gaps remain. Forced labor is reported in many sectors, but the number of victims identified remains low because of inadequate screening, combined with hard-to-reach sectors where many migrants work as well as a lack of self-reporting. Discriminatory attitudes toward migrants and lack of information and services make immigrants vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking. New national policies to legalize the status of undocumented migrants and protect survivors are not always understood and enforced at the local level and these groups are not empowered to access services. The RTG, private sector, and civil society all play major roles in curtailing TIP in Thailand, but better protocols, incentives, and collaboration are needed to achieve collective impact.

USAID Thailand CTIP has two purposes: to reduce trafficking in persons in Thailand and to better protect rights of trafficked person. To fulfill these purposes, USAID Thailand CTIP employs a 5C strategy — community engagement, change agents, communication, collaboration, and continuity. The project supports change agents from the private sector, government, migrant groups, at-risk communities and the media. In addition to the 5Cs, the project incorporates critical crosscutting factors into all activities. These include a gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) approach that mainstreams gender and social inclusion in all components and the use of innovative, data-driven solutions — both technical and programmatic — to address emerging issues, research and service delivery. USAID Thailand CTIP prioritizes areas with increased risk of human trafficking, including known trafficking routes and locations where migrants are most often found. Currently, USAID Thailand CTIP is targeting five different provinces in Thailand including Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Surat Thani, Sa Kaeo and Trad.

III. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES

A. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

Throughout this quarter, Winrock has been working closely with a legal counsel, USAID, and the Royal Thai Government regarding the status of the Thailand CTIP project registration. It is expected that the issue will be clarified and resolved in Q3.

Grantees

This quarter, USAID Thailand CTIP finalized the grantee contracting by completing the subaward process for the two remaining and previously selected grantees: Labor Rights Promotion Network (LPN) and SideKick (see Annex II and III for Scope of Work) There are now five grantees, allowing USAID Thailand CTIP to execute the project in all four target provinces.

As per Winrock’s grant manual, assessments of the grantees were completed both pre and post signing of the agreements, with assessments taking into account budgeting, finance, administrative and reporting obligations. Throughout the life of the project both the Grants Officer and Community Mobilization Specialist will conduct regular monitoring visits of each grantee to ensure timely implementation and support to grantees before any issues arise. It was also decided by the project that in Sa Kaeo, World Vision, who is already based there with the project, will be the partner to carry out the activities on the ground. USAID Thailand CTIP will continue to assess if more support is needed in Sa Kaeo in the following years.

LPN’s “Migrant Workers Project’s (CMT Project’s)” key activities include: 1) providing advice on labor issues and legal support to victims of labor trafficking in Samut Sakhon province; 2) supporting the establishment of the migrant workers’ network called “Migrant Worker is Promoting Rights in Thailand (CMT) and Watchdog Volunteers; 3) conducting a study to identify issues faced by migrant workers in Trat province; 4) delivering information sharing campaigns for migrant workers in Trat province to raise awareness of human rights, labor rights and labor rights protection; and 5) implementing change and awareness-raising among Cambodian workers in Khmer through dissemination of knowledge via social media platforms. SideKick is a Bangkok-based creative media agency that runs communications programs for social change. Using the Project level Communication Framework of USAID Thailand CTIP as a platform, SideKick will take the lead in building the capacity of grantees’ individual communications platforms and outputs, as well as providing mentorship throughout the process. SideKick will also use a ‘people-centered approach’ to develop a sustainable campaigning initiative focused the behaviors and attitudes of the Thai public. USAID Thailand CTIP grantees will be encouraged to employ these innovative communication strategies to raise awareness among the public and at-risk populations on the issues of labor trafficking, safe migration and contributions of migrants to the societies. The grantees will apply these communication strategies in their awareness-raising interventions to influence individual champions and anti-trafficking change agents in their communities.

Staff

During the reporting period, Winrock and implementing partners continued to onboard new staff and build the capacity of existing project staff. Due to personal reasons, the Deputy Chief of Party resigned effective April 19, 2019. Winrock advertised for a replacement, finalized the hiring process, and secured USAID approval of the proposed DCOP candidate in Q2, with the expected start date of April 22, 2019. In addition, Winrock hired two new staff for the positions of Social and Behavioral Change Communications Specialist and Community Mobilization Specialist. They joined the project team began at the end of Q2 and will be onboarded in the first weeks of Q3. During Q2, World Vision (WV) also hired two new staff: a Community Based Officer for Surat Thani and a Compliance Officer based in Bangkok.

Finally, throughout this quarter, Winrock has been working closely with a legal counsel, USAID, and the Royal Thai Government regarding the status of the Thailand CTIP project registration. It is expected that the issue will be clarified and resolved in Q3.

C. PROGRESS OF ACTIVITIES

During this reporting period, Winrock and implementing partners continued implementing activities as outlined in the Year Two Work Plan. More details on the activities conducted over the past quarter are reported below, first by cross-cutting activities, including engagement with the Royal Thai Government, grantees and external communications, followed by activities under individual IRs.

Royal Thai Government Engagement Throughout this quarter, USAID Thailand CTIP continued to collaborate with the Division of Anti-Trafficking in Persons (DATIP) under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS). Also, USAID Thailand CTIP began engaging the private sector to pilot an initiative on skills development and income generation, targeted to TIP survivors staying in government-run shelters.

During Q2, the USAID Thailand CTIP Project team met with the new Director of DATIP and its delegation to refresh the communication and discuss the jointly planned workshop on victim self-identification to be held in Chiang Rai. During this meeting, the new Director expressed his appreciation of USAID Thailand CTIP efforts in supporting RTG in tackling TIP issues and agreed to allocate funding to co-organize this workshop, planned for Q3. The workshop will serve as a pilot joint initiative that aims to assess the gaps and challenges in self-reporting of victims as well as in countering TIP in Thailand, eliciting recommendations for subsequent interventions to address these problems. The workshop will bring together officials from the RTG and other key stakeholders for discussion including: the current TIP situation in each target province; issues related to lack of self-identification by survivors; lessons-learned and determine mechanisms to work more effectively together. United Nations Action for Cooperation against Trafficking in Persons (UNACT) initially committed to financially contributing to the workshop, but, due to funding constraints, they will now provide technical input and strategic recommendations. During Q2, the USAID Thailand CTIP Project team met with the new Director of DATIP and its delegation to refresh the communication and discuss the jointly planned workshop on victim self-identification to be held in Chiang Rai. During this meeting, the new Director expressed his appreciation of USAID Thailand CTIP efforts in supporting RTG in tackling TIP issues and agreed to

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report allocate funding to co-organize this workshop, planned for Q3. The workshop will serve as a pilot joint initiative that aims to assess the gaps and challenges in self-reporting of victims as well as in countering TIP in Thailand while also eliciting recommendations for subsequent interventions to address these problems. The workshop will bring together officials from the RTG and other key stakeholders to create a provincial multi-disciplinary team tasked with discussing the current TIP situation in each target province, issues related to lack of self- identification by survivors, lessons-learned and determine mechanisms to work more effectively together. United Nations Action for Cooperation against Trafficking in Persons (UNACT) initially committed to financially contributing to the workshop, but, due to funding constraints, they will now provide technical input and strategic recommendations in line with existing mechanisms.

Also, in Q2, USAID Thailand CTIP supported the ongoing implementation of the Mars Partnership agreement through the engagement of key governmental counterparts, including the Port In - Port Out (PIPO) Controlling Center of Songkhla, the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare in Songkhla, the Department of Fisheries, the Royal Thai Navy, and the Marine Department. During series of stakeholder consultations, USAID Thailand CTIP gathered information to be used in setting targets and defining project strategies. Furthermore, Winrock developed the Government Engagement Plan (see Annex IV) to serve as a guidance for the project to strategically approach and engage the RTG.

Communications USAID Thailand CTIP participated in the International Women’s Day global campaign by publishing a story of a Burmese migrant through social media and Winrock’s website1 (full story in Annex V). Using the 2019 International Women’s Day theme of “Balance for Better” to encourage equal rights for women, Winrock and a local grantee, The Freedom Story, interviewed Ma Win Yee, a migrant living in the Chiang Rai province who manages a small charity group to financially support migrants in her community and is an advocate for education for all migrant children in the future.

In addition, USAID Thailand CTIP provided content for the Winrock International Instagram page (winrock_international) to introduce a positive view of migrants interacting with their host Thai community.2 From research findings about Thais attitude towards migrants, the Instagram post described how migrants and Thai people come to share spaces at the temple to make a merit. USAID Thailand CTIP will continue to gather and share stories to increase the project visibility while introducing the project beneficiaries’ inspirational stories to a wider audience.

Finally, during this quarter, USAID Thailand CTIP featured an article in the USAID Asia Counter Trafficking in Persons Project Newsletter, highlighting the grantee workshop from Q1 called “Collaborative, Working and Learning Workshop” (Annex VI).

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

INTERMEDIATE RESULT (IR) 1: REDUCED DEMANDS AND INCENTIVES FOR TRAFFICKED LABOR

During Q2, the USAID Thailand CTIP project, following input from RDMA, finalized the RPA as well as identified important opportunities to partner with local organizations in order to support the livelihoods of TIP survivors, increase labor transparency, and to hold businesses accountable for their operations throughout Thailand. USAID Thailand CTIP led stakeholder consultations with major NGOs in the region, alongside the Thai government on behalf of the Mars Petcare partnership to better understand challenges they face in reaching their objectives, potential incentives for stakeholders to take part in partnership activities or other insights that would be beneficial to implementation. The project is also conducting research to analyze current migration and trafficking-related laws and decrees in Thailand to better inform conversations with stakeholders as well as with the Thai government in the matter of anti-trafficking.

Sub-IR 1.1: Improved ethical standards and practices in workplaces and supply chains

During this reporting period, Resonance finalized the Rapid Partnership Appraisal (RPA) (See Annex VII) report which contained the RPA methodology, key learnings, and six partnership prototypes conceptualized through the RPA fieldwork conducted in December 2018. After the review it was agreed that the project will continue to explore and develop the following three selected partnerships:

• Energaia Partnership: Supporting livelihood opportunities for TIP survivors through spirulina production; • FairAgora+PepsiCo Partnership: Technology solutions to improve labor transparency in sugarcane in Thailand; and • Building the business case for CTIP roundtable series for companies with operations in Thailand.

Development of Energaia partnership During February and March 2019, the USAID Thailand CTIP further developed the Energaia partnership concept note and explored options to pilot spirulina vocational training with shelters for TIP survivors in Thailand. Grantees were approached to explore opportunities to leverage their networks and expertise in support of this partnership. The project also used these consultations to support knowledge sharing through workshops around Private Sector Engagement (PSE) and partnership development with grantees.

In addition, the project shared an overview of the Energaia partnership model and raised pre- identified feasibility questions, particularly those around access to targeted beneficiary groups (TIP victims or at-risk populations) in order to solicit input and advice from the local grantees. The information gained from discussions suggested that there is higher feasibility (both legally and logistically) to pilot the training model with TIP survivors in shelters, rather than among survivors integrated in the general community. USAID CTIP Thailand also found that the migrants and at-risk populations residing in communities are usually bound by the scope of work permits and not allowed to participate in additional income-generating activities. Based on this information, the project will aim to pilot the Energaia activities within TIP shelters run by LPN and then explore opportunities with RTG run shelters.

In quarter 3, the project will engage with both LPN and Energaia to move forward with next steps and partnership activities such as gathering additional information on feasibility through

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report interviews, developing the training model, and conducting a needs assessment among workers in the LPN assisted shelters.

FairAgora and PepsiCo partnership PepsiCo faces labor challenges in its sugarcane supply chain such as limited labor rights monitoring at the farm level and lack of a grievance mechanism for workers. Based on these articulated challenges by PepsiCo, USAID Thailand CTIP project and PepsiCo discussed the following draft partnership activities: 1. Feasibility study to understand migrant corridors in relation to mills on the border of Thailand and neighboring countries. 2. IT Development and implementation of pilot activities 3. Integration of communication feature/ social platform to improve workers’ voice 4. Report on the social, business, and environmental impacts of the pilot (what worked and how it could be improved) to be presented at Bonsucro Global Week or a similar event.

As a next step, the project will further develop the partnership concept note and share with FairAgora Asia, PepsiCo and RDMA for additional feedback and agreement to move forward with the partnership opportunity.

Building the Business Case for CTIP Another opportunity stemming from the RPA that USAID Thailand CTIP is currently exploring is a roundtable series aimed at building the business case for CTIP among companies with operations in Thailand. The project brainstormed a variety of potential roundtable themes and developed a one-pager to disseminate to company contacts to gauge their interest in participating in roundtable events. As a first step, the draft one-pager was sent to a select group of trusted company contacts to solicit their feedback and recommendations regarding the proposed roundtable format and topics. The next step is to receive feedback from these companies which will be compiled and analyzed to inform roundtable planning and coordination in the coming reporting period. Learning from the USAID Asia CTIP LAB will also be taken into consideration when developing this activity. (visit https://www.winrock.org/document/usaid-ctip-learning-action-brief-2/) Potential roundtable themes include: 1. UN Guiding Principles in Action – Learn from experts about practical ways to comply with the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), including best practices and lessons learned on conducting a human rights impact assessments and due diligence procedures. 2. Navigating Thai Labor Policy and International Standards – Learn from experts how to navigate ever-changing Thai labor laws and the forthcoming National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights, as well as international standards essential to your business. 3. Fair Labor Tech Showcase – Learn from social enterprises that offer fintech, traceability, and transparency tech solutions that can improve social outcomes and business interests for both suppliers and buyers. Get an edge on the competitive business environment and be a change leader. 4. Quantifying the Business Case for Fair Labor – Learn from experts how to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and other practical guidance in quantifying sustainability investments vs. risks. 5. Creating an industry precedent for supplier compliance – Learn from experts how to flow fair labor and human rights values down to suppliers, focusing on a collective action approach among industries to create an even playing field.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

Mars Petcare: Partnership and Engagement of Thai government Throughout this quarter, Resonance has advanced partnership discussions with Mars in a series of consultations. On 22 – 30 January 2019, the USAID CTIP projects conducted consultations with key stakeholders representing Thai government and NGOs in Songkhla Province on behalf of the Mars.

The key stakeholders that participated in these consultations are listed in the table below:

Date Organizations/Representatives Type of Stakeholder 22 Jan. Stella Maris: NGO Songkhla Ms. Nattaya Petcharat, Project Coordinator and her team

23 Jan. International Transport Workers’ Federation + NGO Songkhla Fishers’ Rights Network: Mr. Jon Hartough, Thailand Project Lead and Ms. Ussama Kaewpradap, Coordinator

24 Jan. Port-In and Port-Out Control Center (PIPO) + Thai government Songkhla Department of Labor Protection and Welfare (DLPW): Mixed representatives from the Thai Navy, Port Authority, and Department of Labor Protection and Welfare

24 Jan. Fish Marketing Organization: Thai government Songkhla Mr. Kamron Suwanna 29 Jan. Marine Department: Thai government Bangkok Mr. Suphat Srinang 30 Jan. Department of Fisheries: Thai government Bangkok Dr. Suttinee Limthammahisorn, Director Coastal Aquaculture Research and Development Division, Mr.Prachongsak Wong- sa-nga, Director of Special Projects and Disaster Alleviation and their teams

A lesson learned from the pilot project between the USAID Oceans project, Thai Union and Mars Petcare was that it is essential to engage the Thai government and local stakeholders early on in the partnership process in order to gain their buy-in and support. Therefore, the USAID CTIP projects have made a concerted effort to do this early on through the Mars Petcare partnership.

Through these consultations, stakeholders shared with USAID CTIP how they work to protect fishermen/workers, how they use Internet technologies, challenges they face in reaching their objectives, potential incentives for stakeholders to take part in partnership activities or use the developed technology model, their advocacy agendas, and other points. The key learnings from this consultation will directly inform the development and implementation of collaborative activities with Mars Petcare.

The key highlights of the stakeholder consultations in Songkhla Province are: • Despite progress and improvements in terms of sustainable fishery management practices, challenges remain on the vessels, including: no visibility of labor and working conditions, lack of affordable and stable Internet, lack of transparency

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

regarding recruitment of migrant fishermen, debt bondage/fees and labor exploitation (especially for medium and small vessels); • In terms of worker protection, it is essential to be mindful of the power dynamic between boat owners, captains, and fishermen; to integrate labor rights and empowerment; and to promote trust and safety so that fishermen feel comfortable sharing their experiences; • All stakeholders believed that incentives can lead to success, especially when they benefit all key players. For instance, boat owners and captains are interested in incentives that help them easily track data about their catch for traceability purposes or the working conditions, including health and safety, of the entire crew; • Representatives of the Thai government acknowledge the importance of protecting fishermen from labor exploitation and are open to collaboration, but their support will be influenced by the upcoming Thai government election in March 2019, so they will engage after that time; • Thai civil society and NGOs that work with fishermen are concerned that the momentum in terms of protection of fishermen may stall, as the European Union has lifted its ‘yellow card’ for illegal, unreported and unregular (IUU) fishing.

Mars Petcare: Market research and technology feasibility assessment To support upcoming activities as part of the Mars Petcare partnership, the USAID CTIP projects will engage a technology firm to conduct an assessment of maritime Internet technologies and a marketing research agency to gauge perceptions of human trafficking and CTIP initiatives among stakeholders within the fishing industry in Thailand. During this reporting period, the project completed a competitive process including assessment of applicants’ submitted proposals, follow-up interviews with applicants, and discussions with Mars Petcare. The process concluded with the selection of two companies for the respective assignments: Geeks Without Frontiers and IC Net. These assessments will be fully funded by Mars Petcare, by transferring funds to Winrock international for the contracts.

Mars Petcare: Development of monitoring and evaluation indicators During this quarter, the USAID CTIP project worked together with Mars Petcare to draft the monitoring and evaluation framework for the partnership activities. The framework focuses on the three pillars of the partnership: (1) connecting workers at sea to the response system; (2) establishing an effective response protocol for industry, and (3) building ethical recruitment capacity of industry. In addition, the framework integrated the initial feedback from the Songkhla stakeholder consultations, Mars Petcare, and indicators from the International Labor Organization (ILO) that focus on vulnerability factors and exploitation. At the end of March, the draft Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) framework was sent out to both Winrock and Mars Petcare for feedback and is expected to be finalized in Q3.

USAID Oceans Collaboration During the reporting period, the USAID Oceans team provided technical assistance in selecting the technology consultant for the assessment under the partnership with Pars Petcare by reviewing submitted proposals and providing technical insights to help weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each applicant. The recommendations made by the USAID Oceans team helped reach the decision on the selected firm: Geeks without Frontiers. The USAID CTIP projects and USAID Oceans will continue to explore potential opportunities to collaborate on the Mars Petcare partnership in the final year of implementation of the USAID Oceans project.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

Sub-IR 1.2: Changed consumer attitudes and awareness of trafficked labor

During Q2, BBC Media Action finalized the formative research report “Countering Trafficking in Persons - Understanding Target Audience for Communication Strategies” (see Annex VIII) based on the results of research undertaken by SUPA 71 in Year One. The formative research was designed to inform social and behavior change communications activities to improve Thai public attitudes (IR1.2) and increase awareness and understanding of rights among at-risk populations (IR2.1). Winrock will explore with RDMA ways to publicly present the report findings in Q4.

During this quarter, the project Communications Framework was finalized by BBC Media Action (see Annex IX). The Communications Framework is a plan that enables grantees to have shared communication objectives and strong coordination between communication outputs at all levels (media, digital, community and inter-personal). The Framework also provides key research insights that partners can use to address specific information needs of both Thai and migrant populations as it is based off the formative research.

Upon signing with USAID Thailand CTIP, SideKick presented feasible approaches and methodologies in the form of a plan to engage traditional media outlets as well as alternative media agencies (See Annex X). Together, SideKick and the project staff created a work plan for the next year, including trips to visit all grantees. Beginning in late April 2019 onwards, SideKick, BBC Media Action, along with the USAID Thailand CTIP Social and Behavior Change Communication Specialist will begin a series of field visits to familiarize SideKick with project staff and activities. These visits will also serve as an opportunity to develop tailored communication plans in each location for target groups such as migrants. To conclude, follow-up visits will be organized to mentor and monitor grantee’s activities throughout the year.

In addition, BBC Media Action, Winrock and SideKick will work together to explore youth networks to identify potential ways to leverage existing networks, starting by reaching out to Bangkok-based universities to engage students studying communications. The project, through SideKick and World Vision will also support grantees to identify youth networks in target provinces to work with through cultivating creative awareness and advocacy for CTIP. The type of guidance provided by USAID Thailand CTIP, level of engagement, and actionable next steps with youth networks, will be tailored to each grantee.

Sub-IR 1.3: Increased engagement on labor and migration policies by key stakeholders

During Q2, Winrock completed the selection process for an external consultant to review the Thai labor migration policies, signed the agreement and commenced the research. It will outline and analyze current migration and trafficking-related laws and decrees in Thailand, and other legal instruments issued by the RTG such as policy, regulations, action plans, constitutional amendments, strategy and regulation, as well as declarations and conventions to which the RTG is a signatory. The policy review will also gather stakeholder feedback implementation of the government policies, including that of civil society, private sector, and at-risk populations. Also, the research will provide an analysis on gender equality in employment, labor protection, access to social services and access to justice, social integration, non-ethnical discrimination, and gender diversity in Thailand labor migration policy. Moreover, the research will examine the roles of Thailand in promoting safe migration through bilateral discussions with sending countries and through multilateral

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report discussions in the sub-regional and regional levels. In conjunction with these discussions, Winrock will identify platforms to host and update the summary of the policies in English, Thai and the languages of sending countries so both migrants and CTIP organizations, including counterparts in Cambodia and Laos, as well as the private sector, are able to access the most recent information. It is expected that this research will be finalized by the beginning of Q4.

INTERMEDIATE RESULT (IR) 2: EMPOWER AT-RISK POPULATIONS TO SAFEGUARD THEIR RIGHTS

During Q2, the USAID Thailand CTIP project focused on onboarding and orienting five grantees, who began recruiting relevant staff, preparing community-based activities and collecting data on their target areas. To enable an effective implementation of activities in the provinces, Winrock project staff visited all grantees to discuss about their workplan and introduce monitoring and reporting tools. Grantees’ activities will seek to identify, build upon and expand trusted local networks and support systems that support at-risk populations to build collective voice and be empowered to safeguard their own rights. This will include but not limit to a series of effective outreach activities on rights awareness for vulnerable populations; dissemination of useful information through social and print media; and inclusive dialogue with local stakeholders to ensure constructive cooperation on anti- trafficking efforts.

Sub-IR 2.1: Increased awareness and understanding of rights among most at-risk populations

As per the Year Two Work Plan, USAID Thailand CTIP project seeks to foster greater coordination both within its areas of operation as well as across the region. The project will leverage relationships with regional and source country stakeholders to create a network for sharing knowledge and best practices to strengthen and inform programming. Under this stream in Q2, World Vision aimed to boost information concerning safe and legal migration available to future migrants and to reduce the vulnerability to exploitation through information sharing with existing programs in source countries. WV plans to leverage their existing Anti-trafficking in Persons (ATIP) program in Myanmar to share resources from the USAID Thailand CTIP resource toolkit, with at-risk populations – especially around the Mae Sai border area. However, due to the now resolved U.S. Government shutdown, this activity has been postponed until funding was replenished. World Vision continues to monitor this closely and will resume efforts to distribute CTIP material via this channel when available and once the toolkit is finalized.

Following on from Q1, during which feedback on the Resource Toolkit was received from partners and grantees, the project worked together with Freedom Collaborative (FC) to develop an action plan laying out next steps to launch the toolkit in Q3. (See attached action plan in Annex XI). After finalizing the action plan, USAID Thailand CTIP staff reviewed and re-categorized all the documents and materials currently in the Toolkit, while FC worked on the technical interface creating a positive user experience. The soft launch of the revised Resource Toolkit is expected to launch in May with training by FC on site management and admin oversight to be conducted by Freedom Collaborative in the following months. Also, during this quarter, grantees continued preparation for upcoming activities to increase awareness and understanding of rights among at-risk populations including working directly on building trust with local community members and beginning provincial level baselines to inform their activities.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

Featured activities of grantees in Q2 in increasing awareness of rights are as follows:

FOCUS With the support of World Vision, FOCUS visited potential target communities in Chiang Rai in order to introduce the project, meet community leaders and begin baseline interviews with community members. Based on this information FOCUS selected 4 high-risk communities to implement the project: 1) Baan Lai Ngao, Wiang - Kaen District, Chiang Rai 2) Baan Saew, Chiang – Saen District, Chiang Rai 3) Koh Sai, Mae – Sai District, Chiang Rai 4) Baan Pak Ing, Chiang – Kong District, Chiang Rai

Along with these 4 communities, FOCUS will also work directly with at-risk youth based in both Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. During Q2, FOCUS contacted both universities in Chiang Rai 1) Program in Multimedia Technology and Animation, Mae Fah Luang University and 2) Program in Digital Multimedia, Chiang Rai Rajabhat University to arrange and organize workshop with student to brainstorm ideas of how media can be utilized in order to: attract the attention of at-risk youth; educate them on their rights; and encourage them to be champions of rights-information so that they are able to empower their community to safeguard their own rights. By Q3 of Year Two, FOCUS plans to complete the needs assessment of their target populations which will in turn guide their activities and corresponding outputs.

Freedom Story In Chiang Rai, along with establishing relationships and assessing needs within the target communities, the Freedom Story (TFS) began to assist in providing legal advice to migrants. This legal advice is specifically related to legal status cases for both stateless and foreign citizens and included the following: the process of applying for birth certificates and marriage registrations; accessing social welfare benefits as per the labor law and explaining entitled benefits. TFS observed that this support was both needed and welcomed by the community members and created a sense of trust between the communities and the project. Specifically, during Q2, TFS held an event targeting Burmese migrants in Chiang Rai where information on social security and social welfare benefits was disseminated. 91 Burmese migrants joined this event.

Also, in Q2, TFS began a needs assessment in the different targeted communities where they work. Based on this assessment they gathered information to inform their activities such as the fact that migrants are unaware of both their basic rights and benefits and also the difficulties they have in changing employers.

Raks Thai In Surat Thani, Raks Thai conducted a site mapping and vulnerability needs assessment with migrants working in fishery, seafood processing, agriculture, and construction sectors. Based on this need’s assessment, knowledge gap in rights, media consumption habits, and preferred learning materials will be summarized and shared in Q3. This information will guide activities for Raks Thai in the coming years.

LPN In Trat province, LPN completed a need assessment for 108 migrants located in 3 districts and targeting the fishery and agriculture sectors. This assessment helped identify issues communities are facing around migration and TIP and preliminary results showed that there

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report is still a lack of understanding among migrants about labor rights and protection. These findings will guide implementation activities in these communities.

In Q2, LPN also created a Facebook page targeting Cambodia migrants in order to build a network and also to share relevant information among migrants. More than 400 users have joined the page so far (visit: https://www.facebook.com/Cambodia-Migrant-Labour-Group- CMLG-407604776706896/). During the media and communication training for grantees planned in early Q3, SideKick and BBC-Media Action will share its expertise with LPN regarding social media and content management to help enhance the Facebook page.

SideKick In Q2, SideKick worked closely with BBC Media Action to finalize trips and trainings with all grantees in target provinces. These trainings, to take place in Q3, aim at the development of a tailored communication strategy for each of the grantees looking at each of the different target groups in each of the different provinces. Sidekick will work with each of the grantees to tailor activities to fit under the wider project communications strategy as well as have a strong element of Social and Behavioral Change Communications.

Sub-IR 2.2: Improved access to support services by at-risk populations

This quarter, Winrock concluded the selection process for the baseline consultant (see MEL section for detail on the baseline). The baseline activity for data collection will start in Q3 and will include service provider mapping in all districts where the project is implemented. In conjunction with the baseline mapping activity, grantees will also be mapping support services in their target districts. It is expected that by the end of Year Two the project will develop a robust and comprehensive directory of service providers in the targeted provinces. As part of the service providers mapping, Winrock also worked with grantees to monitor and follow up on migrant legal cases including obtaining compensation and unpaid wages. Through LPN, the project was able to provide legal assistance and services to a total of 19 victims of forced labor cases in this quarter. Details of the cases assisted are as follows:

− Forced labor case in Pathum Thani province: LPN helped remove a Cambodian couple who were forced to work in construction, were physically abused and held in degrading conditions by their employee. LPN worked closely with the Embassy of Cambodia in Bangkok on this case, and the victims have already gone through the litigation process and have been provided with the damage compensation. The employer was made to compensate the 2 victims however the case is still pending in court as it involves both exploitation and physical abuse. LPN also engaged private sector in improving protection of victims and this couple has been hired by CP ALL PCL to work in a factory in Saraburi province.

− People trafficked to Malaysia from Myanmar: LPN was asked by Royal Thai Police to help assist an investigation into a car accident involving 21 people who were illegally crossing the Thai-Myanmar border at the Kra Buri District in the Ranong province, Thailand. Of the original 21 people crossing the border, 17 survived the accident. LPN provided technical support to the investigation team and all 17 were identified as trafficking victims who had been recruited from Myanmar by a Thai man promising jobs, including work on fishing boats for the men and work as domestic helpers/maids for the women, in Malaysia. The victims disclosed that they had paid this agent between THB 19,000-20,000 (USD 600-630) to be smuggled across the border. Although they had not yet arrived at the destination country, the facts

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

demonstrated that all people were trafficked into forced labor. The smugglers and traffickers have been arrested and prosecuted while 17 survivors were provided with legal assistance from LPN, who prepared them for the court process.3

Finally, the RPA was completed this quarter by Resonance (under IR 1.1). Throughout Year Two, USAID Thailand CTIP and Resonance will select a variety of partnership models proposed in the RPA to implement activities in target provinces for vulnerable populations. Resonance will work closely with Winrock project staff and grantees to ensure that these initiatives suit the needs of target populations within the community and align with the project’s grantee objectives in the provinces.

Sub-IR 2.3: Strengthened voice of at-risk populations

A potential candidate for the Capture Change Story consultancy (previously called Most Significant Change) was identified in Q1. However, the recruitment process is currently suspended due to the resignation of the Social and Behavioral Change Communication Specialist (SBCC). In addition, the necessity of the consultancy needs to be thoroughly reviewed to ensure it is the most appropriate approach to capture long term impact of the USAID Thailand CTIP project. Winrock will explore alternative approaches before proceeding with recruitment.

Regarding the communication training for grantees mentioned in IR 2.1 section, SideKick will incorporate topics about basic story-telling techniques into the communications training (SBCC context). This will equip the grantees with essential skills to capture and portray stories to create an impact meaningfully. In addition, SideKick will brainstorm with grantees to tailor a communication strategy for each grantee in all target provinces. This strategy will be used by grantees to implement IR2 activities.

INTERMEDIATE RESULT (IR) 3: PROTECTION SYSTEMS STRENGTHENED

During Q2, through World Vision, the USAID Thailand CTIP project engaged with provincial Multi-Disciplinary Teams in target provinces to identify best practices and gaps in the identification of victims of trafficking and areas of improvement at the operational level. USAID Thailand CTIP now has greater opportunity to influence counter trafficking efforts in Chiang Rai due to its implementing partner’s appointment as chairperson for the Committee for Coordination of grantees for protection of Children and Counter Trafficking in Persons, a provincial level child protection and CTIP NGO working group. Another success this quarter was the adoption of CTIP Action Plans in all four districts where World Vision operates for the USAID Thailand CTIP project. Moving ahead, Winrock will continue to explore issue of complaint mechanisms for migrants and TIP victims in Thailand as well as facilitate the adoption of the Victim Case management Tool (VCMS) by service providers in Thailand.

Sub-IR 3.1: Improved identification of trafficked persons

To improve the identification of trafficked persons, throughout Quarter 2 of Year Two World Vision actively engaged with provincial Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDTs) in target provinces to identify best practices in identify victims of trafficking, gaps in identification

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report and areas of improvement at the operational level. In Chiang Rai, World Vision was appointed as the chairperson for the Committee for Coordination of grantees for protection of Children and Counter Trafficking in Persons, a provincial level child protection and CTIP NGO working group. This appointment provides the USAID Thailand Counter Trafficking in Persons project with a greater opportunity to influence counter trafficking efforts in Chiang Rai, especially with senior provincial officials. This includes advocating for increased government funding for counter trafficking initiatives (3.2.2) and increased youth inclusion in CTIP activities (2.1.2).

Also, in Chiang Rai, World Vision was invited by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to participate in a “trainer of trainers” workshop for MDTs which focused on the newly launched JICA’s guidelines on “Social Reintegration of Thai Victims of Trafficking in Person”. Participants at this event received practical information to improve skills and knowledge to better assist trafficked victims for successful social reintegration. Following this training, JICA and Winrock held conversations at the national level to discuss how to amend these guidelines to be used for migrants. Once amendments are completed, these migrant-centered guidelines can be used to train MDT’s and other key provincial authorities.

In Trat, World Vision continued to provide ongoing support to provincial government entities to develop and implement a suitable CTIP action plan. During Q2, WV attended the Provincial Anti-Human Trafficking Committee meeting in Trat where the USAID Thailand CTIP project was presented and some of the activities incorporated into the newly written Action Plan for 2019 were subsequently adopted by the CTIP Committee. With the adoption of the CTIP Action Plan in Trat, all four districts where USAID Thailand CTIP is working (Trat, Surathani, Sa Kaeo and Chiang Rai) have now adopted CTIP Action Plans.

In Sa Kaeo, World Vision engaged with government entities, grantees, local communities and service providers on the issue of trafficking and local reporting mechanism. In Q2, World Vision was invited by the Trat Provincial Social Development and Human Security (PSDHS) department to host a training session on the importance of TIP case reporting in the prevention of TIP. It was attended by a mix of both Thai community leaders and PSDHS members. During this training participants discussed services available in their communities including hotlines and other informal channels for reporting TIP cases. It is anticipated that community leaders will use the information and knowledge gained from this session to better assist in identifying and recording cases. It was also agreed that a follow-up meeting to present any development on TIP to PSDHS will take place every two months.

In Q1, a Scope of Work (SOW) for a review of complaint mechanisms used by migrants and TIP victims in Thailand was developed and advertised. Unfortunately, Winrock has been unable to identify a qualified consultant to undertake this piece of work, therefore, this SOW will be re-advertised in Q3 with the finalized report expected early in Q4. This research will review and analyze the variety of hotlines and other complaint outlets used by migrants and victims of trafficking, including statistics, strengths and weaknesses. This analysis will be used to initiate discussions with RTG, grantees and the private sector to identify ways in which the current complaint mechanisms can be optimized. At the same time, USAID Thailand CTIP will explore alternatives to traditional hotlines that could be piloted in collaboration with private sector and grantees.

Sub-IR 3.2: Strengthened support services to better address trafficked persons’ needs

Alternative models of care for TIP victims In Year One and in consultation with MSDHS, USAID Thailand CTIP commissioned research on alternative models of care for TIP victims. During the end of Q1, a draft of the research was reviewed and sent to Winrock technical staff. It is expected that the report will be finalized in Q3. Preliminary findings from the research include, but are not limited to:

• Constraints exist around the ability of the traditional shelter-based model in meeting the needs of TIP survivors due to limited mobility, lack of proper psychosocial support and challenges of shelter management in providing occupational options; • External factors such as law enforcement procedures, victim identification and reintegration processes also compromise the quality of longer-term services.

Recommendations from the research include examples of alternative models of care that are better tailored to meet different needs of TIP survivors. The research also shows the ways in which these alternative models, such as the community-based model or non-residential care program under a government shelter, are more sustainable in the long-term. Key recommendations from the research will be shared with MSDHS to advocate for policy and practice changes and to guide USAID Thailand CTIP in designing activities around supporting services for TIP victims.

Strengthen case management and record keeping for grantees During Q2, USAID Asia CTIP led several discussions with all USAID CTIP projects, Liberty Shared and Freedom Fund to define a strategy for the wider adoption of the Victim Case Management System (VCMS) across Asia, including Thailand. The adoption is expected to to increase availability and harmonization of TIP victim data, improve services and follow-up through strengthened record-keeping and facilitate better cross-border repatriations and coordination among grantees. The USAID Thailand CTIP project will work closely with the USAID Asia CTIP project in Q3 to review how this system meets the needs of the Thailand project and roll it out to grantees.

Cross-border coordination At the beginning of quarter 2, World Vision organized the second Big C meeting in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaeo. Attendees included 8 Cambodian NGOs and representatives from the Sa Kaeo Department of Labour, Department of Employment, three Thai NGOs and two Khmer interpreters.

During this meeting NGOs shared both issues faced by migrants living along the border area and the support they need. A main outcome of this Big C meeting was a commitment by the Department of Labour to train representatives of Cambodian NGOs and community leaders on how to migrate legally and at minimal expense. Originally scheduled for Q2, this training is postponed until Q3 after national elections. (See Annex XII)

In Q2, USAID Thailand CTIP COP travelled to Cambodia to have discussions with Open Institute around the application of Bong Pheak in Thailand. Based upon these conversations, USAID Thailand CTIP project will conduct a study in Q3 on recruitment practices looking at both internal recruitment possibilities with migrants and also cross border recruitment of daily Cambodian migrants into Thailand. Following on from this study, USAID Thailand CTIP will potentially execute a pilot program with USAID Cambodia CTIP to test a model for ethical recruitment.

IV. USAID/RDMA DEVELOPMENT SCREENS

Gender Equality and Social Inclusion

During this quarter, the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Specialist worked closely with project staff and partners to ensure that GESI considerations are integrated in all project activities as planned, including but not limited to: the development of a methodology of a project baseline study; the development of a project communication strategy; the study on support services and alternative models of care; the design of the resource toolkit; a research methodology of a review of labor migration polices and complaints mechanism; and, the inclusion of GESI throughout the RPA process (see Annex XIII).

GESI considerations have also been highlighted in the RPA partnership model. Examples of initial GESI considerations for each partnership model include:

− Supporting Livelihood Opportunities for TIP Survivors through Spirulina Production: Vocational training for the TIP survivors will include both male and female shelters and will also align with Energaia’s development strategy which aims to encourage participation of more women growers and demonstrate that female farmers are as effective as their male counterparts. After the pilot, this partnership can also support the design of learning mechanisms and tools that capture how the partnership activities enable better reintegration processes for the participating migrants. − Technology Solutions to Improve Labor Transparency in Sugarcane: The technology that will collect social data at the farm level can be designed to include criteria pertaining to fair wages and equal pay between male and female workers. Throughout Q2, GESI activities focused on GESI orientation and Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) for grantees in target provinces. Firstly, the GESI orientation was conducted during the field visits on a one-to-one basis to ensure that grantees can integrate GESI into their programing while at the same time taking into consideration their specific project’s context and focus. This orientation included a session on GESI related monitoring and learning practices according to their work plan; preparedness in responding to emerging challenges and opportunities; reporting requirements and procedures and methods for working pro-actively with Winrock technical staff.

Overall, grantees have a good understanding of a GESI mainstreaming approach and were trained on how to apply GESI-related monitoring tools throughout. Several ideas on GESI that could be designed and include in project activities were also discussed and explored. Potential ideas include: GESI sensitive training on story-telling; cultural and diversity awareness workshop; empowering female youth leader through media and training; strengthening local capacities for GESI-sensitive referral services; and MDT training on GESI-sensitive victim screening, etc. However, due to an early stage of project implementation in target provinces, GESI specific objectives and activities have not yet been decided by the grantees. It is expected that once the baseline study and needs assessment by the grantees are completed and more information from the implementation on the ground is collected, the project will make the most suitable interventions and activities to fill the gaps emerged at target locations.

During Q2, the GESI Specialist met with grantees to identify needs and opportunities in relation to GESI outputs. The GESI OCA was developed to evaluate what policies, strategies

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report and procedures are in place to ensure that gender equality and social inclusion can adequately be included in all sub grantees mandates. It will also include the level of staff’s knowledge and understanding of gender equality and social inclusion in the area in which they operate. By the end of Q2, two grantees, FOCUS and the Freedom Story have gone through the GESI OCA and included a discussion on both technical and organizational aspects of the project as looked at through a GESI lens. Following this assessment, the following findings became clear:

• These two sub grantees have a basic understanding of what relevant GESI issues entail, but are limited in their capacity to analyze gender dynamics within a CTIP context; • Knowledge of gender analytical frameworks and tools is limited, and when organizations do use tools, they are largely not specific to GESI analysis; • General expectations of GESI components are merely concerned with gender statistics of “sex-disaggregated data” which in fact do not guarantee that a GESI dimension is fully mainstreamed and incorporated into activities. • The assessed organizations have policies and procedures in place to ensure a supportive working environment to implement actions towards a more GESI response, however, with limited human and financial resources, the organizations do not have a specific budget allocated or persons assigned to implement/oversee GESI specific activities.

In accordance with these findings, Winrock will provide technical support to the grantees to ensure that their staff are equipped with GESI lenses to implement activities in the field. Technical GESI training will be designed and conducted for each grantee based on organizational needs. These training will be scheduled simultaneously with all the grantees once the OCA is completed which is expected to be in Q3. Finally, throughout the next quarters, the GESI Specialist will work closely with grantees to identify key GESI priorities and main areas of applicability of new GESI initiatives. Specific interventions can be carried out to directly contribute to improved efforts in addressing the different needs of vulnerable groups. Science, Technology and Innovation In Q1, Resonance met with several technology providers to look at ways to leverage the use of technology and innovation through protecting and promoting human rights for at-risk populations. The technology companies included Kiu, a financial technology company, iRespond, Blockchain digital ID verification provider, and FairAgora Asia, the developer of sustainability analytic platform VerifiK8. As Resonance, together with the USAID Thailand CTIP team, prioritized and scoped down to a more specific partnership model with potential partners like PepsiCo, it became clear that the key challenge for the sugarcane industry is the traceability from farm to table using information gathered from key social practice data at the farm level. While Kiu and iRespond’s technology development are apt for operational management and traceability in general, the technology platform that we see as the most appropriate solution to tackle this specific issue for the sugarcane industry is VerifiK8. In this quarter, Resonance is exploring possibilities to collaborate with FairAgora Asia to leverage the VerifiK8 technology to help tackle TIP in the sugarcane sourcing supply chain in Thailand. Through partnership with the USAID Thailand CTIP project, VerifiK8 could be deployed to help farms measure their human rights performance through social metrics aligned with selected standards and

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report conventions. These social metrics may be customized to cover social data related to forced labor and TIP risk.

USAID Thailand CTIP, in partnership with Resonance and Mars Petcare, continued exploring the possibility to further strengthen Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) technology. Discussions focused on technology will cover the following points: to enable seamless, two- way communications; strengthen workers’ voice or act as an “SOS” button at sea; be financially sustainable and commercially viable; and that will support sustainability and traceability efforts. In Q2, Resonance completed the selection process for a firm to assess and advise on technologies that enable internet connectivity at sea and that are also financially sustainable and commercially viable – Geeks without Borders. The second selected firm is IC Net Asia, who will conduct market research and analysis to inform partnership/activity branding and strategies for optimal stakeholder engagement and to also advise on communications of the project in Songkhla in order to effectively reach and resonate with target beneficiaries and key stakeholders.

Partnerships

The USAID Thailand CTIP project team continued to reach out, with its implementing partners, to both the wider CTIP community and the private sectors. Throughout this quarter, Winrock staff and partners attended workshops, brokered partnerships and met with several NGOs. Below is a list of all the partnerships that are not included under the IR sections:

• Meetings with a variety of key stakeholders representing Thai government and NGOs in Songkla province on behalf of Mars partnership. Examples of these stakeholders include: Stella Maris, International Transport Workers Federation and Fishers’ Rights Network, Port-In and Port-Out Control Center (PIPO) and Department of Labor Protection and Welfare (DLPW), Fish Marketing Organization, Marine Department, and Department of Fisheries; • Meeting with HOOQ to discuss project collaboration around SBCC; • Continued meetings with a variety of stakeholders to discuss potential collaboration including: UN Women, Urban Light, Solidarity Center, Freedom Fund, Humanity United, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Open Institute and UNACT; • Ongoing meetings with IOM to discuss cross project collaboration; • Attended the Consultation on Efforts to Increase the Role of Women in Law Enforcement and Protecting Communities on 28 March 2019. The event was hosted by UNODC, in the framework of a joint program with UN Women, with an objective to enable meaningful discussion to support more women to participate in policing and border management by enhancing governance mechanisms and regulatory frameworks while strengthening the capacities, role and positioning and competence of women in policing and border management; • Attended the Asia Region Anti-Trafficking Conference Feb 25 – 1st March 2019 where TIP was discussed across the region. While there, USAID CTIP Thailand met with Liberty Shared to discussed ways to collaborate for the future; • Participated in the second Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability (SALT) PartnerLab on 11 – 12 February 2019 to provide guidance on improving labor and human right conditions as SALT continues to develop its recommendations for the industry. Also connected tech companies such as MYHR who develop the face scan application for the Marine Department, Global Fund to End Modern Slavery and

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

whom is looking for ways to develop a data analytic platform that assess labor risk in the Thai fishing sector. During this lab Resonance also met with Ocean Mind which is a not-for-profit organization working to increase sustainability of fishing industry and now working with Department of Fisheries (specifically looking at Vessel Monitoring System). Resonance have had follow up meeting with the first two to gain more information that might be relevant for the development of Mars Petcare Partnership. Resonance also met with Thai grantees working on improving labor welfare for fishermen e.g. Issara Institute and LPN; and • Attended the roundtable held on the 4 March 2019 by the Stock Exchange of Thailand brought together multiple representative of Thai companies. The project, through Resonance, participated in the discussion, observed private sectors' opinion and challenges, as well as connected with key stakeholders that are potential collaboration partners for USAID Thailand CTIP project.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

VI. MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

The following are M&E activities that happened during the reporting period:

Activity Tracking Table and TraiNET data requirements To establish and maintain the TraiNET data collection system, USAID Thailand CTIP MEL Specialist (MELS) considered all TraiNET data requirements in developing the USAID Thailand CTIP project's Activity Tracking Table (ATT). The ATT template was shared with all grantees in Q1 of Year Two and a one-on-one training was provided on the actual use of the ATT in Q2. As reported in Q1 the MELS began the entry of project data into the TraiNet system in Q2 and will complete this activity by the end of May 2019.

Update on Progress of Project MEL Systems

During Q2 of Year Two, the following MEL tasks and deliverables were completed: • Updated Project Indicator Tracking Table (Annex XIV) • Creation of a tailored MEL plan for each grantee that includes output and outcome indicators (Annex XV to XVIII) • Development of individualized Indicator Tracking Tables for all grantees and implementing partners (Annex XV to XVIII) • Support of World Vision in the creation and finalization of the USAID Thailand CTIP Organizational Self-Assessment Tool to be used to measure progress against IR3: “Number of targeted institutes on protection system with an increased organization scores –Composite score” (Annex XIX) • Assist GESI Specialist with the Pre- and Post- training GESI monitoring tools for grantees and implementing partners (Annex XX and XXI)

To complete the above, the MELS visited all 4 grantees in the field and provided tailored training/coaching which included: • How to use and fill out the ATT and ITT templates • Individualized Baselines support and the creation of baseline methodologies and tools • Support on community mapping regarding TIP and migrants

First Biannual “Pause-and-reflect” event An agenda for the first internal biannual “pause and reflect” event was developed, and the workshop will take place in quarter 3. The theme for the first event will be “Are we doing things properly?” and learning questions to ask attended project stakeholders during the event will revolve around this theme.

Updates of the Project Baseline study At the end of Q2 of Year Two, the selection process for a consultancy service for the Baseline study concluded, and Rapid Asia (RA) was awarded a contract. Over the coming months Winrock will work closely with Rapid Asia to develop tools and implement to the baseline research in all the provinces. At the end of Q2 of Year Two, the selection process for a consultancy service for the Baseline study concluded, and Rapid Asia (RA) was awarded a contract. Over the coming months Winrock will work closely with RA to develop methodology and tools to conduct the baseline in all the provinces.

VII. CHALLENGES AND PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

Though the following identified challenges posed significant roadblocks, Winrock and partners will accelerate efforts to complete activities as outlined in the workplan through working in close collaboration with USAID, MSDHS, related government agencies, and relevant partners.

The challenges and problems encountered in this quarter are summarized below:

• Due to the departure of the former SBCC specialist, there have been some delays in the implementation of SBCC activities, including Most Significant Change stories; The replacement specialist was recruited and onboarded during the quarter and the progress will be sped up. • Level of interest and the priority of issues considered by the provincial government are different in each target province. While the provincial government in Chiang Rai is proactive in countertrafficking work, MDTs in other provinces such as Surat Thani require additional capacity strengthening and are unable to implement the related activities at the same level when compared to other provinces. Engaging these bodies Has taken longer then expected. Over the coming Quarter, WV will develop strategies tailored for each Province and corresponding MDT to address these issues and identify common themes and gaps across all the MDT’s; • A considerable amount of time spent on approving and signing grantees’ agreement resulted in a slight delay of some planned activities of grantees. It is expected that the activities will catch up during the rest of the year; • Throughout this quarter, Winrock continued to work closely with USAID and a legal counsel to liaise with the RTG regarding the status of the Thailand CTIP project registration. Additional registration avenues were explored. It is expected that the issue will be clarified and resolved in quarter 3; • At the beginning of the second quarter the USAID Thailand CTIP DCOP resigned with her last day being the 19th of April. We have advertised the position and expect to have a new DCOP in place by the 22nd of April which means there will be a very limited gap between the new and old DCOP. Although the project will not be without a DCOP, it will take some time for the new DCOP to be able to understand the project fully, possibly creating some expected delays in implementation, in particularly around engagement with the RTG.

• DATIP and Winrock will continue to meet/ update every 2 months on the progress of the project activities; • Under the Mars agreement, Winrock and Resonance will continue to liaise with key government agencies, namely the Port In - Port Out (PIPO) Controlling Center of Songkhla, the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare in Songkhla, the Department of Fisheries, the Royal Thai Navy, and the Marine Department both at central and provincial level; • Winrock will continue to work in close coordination with MSDHS to address issues related to lack of self-identification by survivors in target provinces by holding the first Victims of Trafficking self-identification workshop in Chiang Rai. This workshop will bring together both PSDHS and NGO’s in addressing the lack of VOT self-identification.

Baseline WI will work with RA to develop methodology and tools to conduct the baseline in all the provinces and begin to conduct the research in the target provinces.

Grantees In the next quarter, USAID Thailand CTIP will continue working with grantees to ensure that they remain compliant with USAID and Winrock policy. The Community Mobilization

Specialist will conduct regular monitoring visits of each grantee to ensure timely implementation of activities as planned.

GESI GESI will continue to be cross cutting across all activities and IR’s and the following will be initiated in the coming months to make sure that this happens: • GESI technical training to be conducted for each grantee in target provinces based on their needs; • Inclusion of GESI questions in the project baseline study; • Ongoing technical support for partners and grantees for GESI integration into their current activities.

MEL • First internal bi-annual pause and reflect workshop will be conducted and actions implemented; • Develop and finalize Indicator Tracking Table (ITT) template for the remaining grantees and partners including Resonance and SideKick as well as for the overall project including Winrock's project activities; • Ensure that adequate data collection systems for the 15 USAID Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are in place ensuring data quality.

Communications • Finalize the discussion with HOOQ for further collaboration on possibilities to produce media content e.g. series, short film, as part of project information outreach (SBCC context); • Discuss and seek approval from USAID to create and launch the project Facebook page to increase the level of project visibility. The Facebook page is currently suspended due to project registration issue; • Discuss and plan the launching of the BBC Media Action research “Countering Trafficking in Persons – Understanding Target Audiences for Communication Strategies to voice out key research findings to TIP stakeholders and raise awareness towards the project.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES BY IR:

INTERMEDIATE RESULT I: Demands and incentives for trafficked labor reduced

• In Q3, Resonance foresees a possible pilot launch of Energaia partnership in May 2019 and will continue the development of the Energaia partnership and FairAgora + PepsiCo partnership. The co-creative workshop for FairAgora + PepsiCo, whereby partners coming to the table to further define the concept and its activities, is expected to take place in June. Also, Resonance will continue to explore opportunities to coordinate the roundtable series with potential Thai companies, Thai private sector networks/platforms (e.g. the UN Global Compact Network Thailand) and multinational companies with operations in Thailand. • For Mars Petcare partnership, the consultant contracting process and service agreement signing with Winrock International are being finalized. The two consultants are expected to start respective activities in May.

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

• In June, Resonance will facilitate a Year Two partnership work-planning session which will be held in Bangkok. Partners will be brought together to discuss progress made in Year One and plan Year Two activities, as well as engage new stakeholders and align on key milestones. An upcoming activity that will warrant such engagement is a stakeholder mapping exercise in order to establish effective TIP response protocols on Thai fishing vessels.

INTERMEDIATE RESULT II: At-risk populations empowered to safeguard their rights

• In Q3, SideKick and BBC-Media Action will organize field trips to target provinces. These trips aim to provide media and communication training to equip the grantees with communication skills and tools that will allow organizations to engage and influence target audience at different levels. Moreover, to tailor a communication strategy for each grantee considering different groups of migrants will be developed during the visit. USAID Thailand CTIP SBCC Specialist will accompany the visits to ensure that SBCC elements are included in the grantee communication plan. The trips have been scheduled in early Q3 and the grantees have confirmed its participation. In combination to the training, SideKick will explore the communities to have first-hand experience and to sense the field dynamics. Also, SideKick plans to take this opportunity to conduct research on influencers and communication channels in four provinces (Trat, Surat Thani, Chiang Rai and Sa Kaeo) as well as identify local influencers and change makers to launch awareness campaign at the local level. • Grantees planned to reach out to their identified communities in the next quarter. Activities such as home visits and community observation to identify, understand and foster good relationship with the beneficiaries will be conducted. FOCUS will be working on preparations to start activities/training with youth and target populations. LPN will continue to provide support to victims of trafficking throughout the court process. • For the baseline study, grantees were informed about a baseline visit for data collection and will provide support in the form of providing information as needed and connecting the researchers with key informants in the field.

INTERMEDIATE RESULT III: Protection systems strengthened

In next quarters, the project will work closely with PSDHS, partners and grantees at national and provincial levels to ensure that support services are provided to victims of trafficking in persons and at-risk populations. Examples of activities include but are not limited to

• The Alternative Models of Shelter report will be finalized and shared with USAID, RTG and other partners; • World Vision continues to engage with MDTs to strengthen their capacity in victim identification; • The project, in collaboration with DATIP, will organize the Victim Self-Identification workshop in Chiang Rai on 17 May 2019; • In Q3, USAID Thailand CTIP will finalize a Review of Labor Abuse Complaint Mechanisms. This analysis will be used to initiate discussions with RTG, grantees and the private sector to find ways in which the current complaint mechanisms can be optimized; • WV will continue to advocate for the Case Management Meeting (CMM);

USAID Thailand CTIP FY2019 Q2 Quarterly Performance Report

• The project will continue to support provincial government stakeholders, PSDHS and MDTs, in developing and implementing their CTIP action plans; • The project will continue to advocate for improved budget allocation for MDTs and survivor services by encouraging CTIP communities at the provincial level to apply for national funding and support in the proposal writing process; • In close coordination with Resonance, USAID Thailand CTIP will also engage the private sector to build vocational skills training and create employment opportunities for trafficked persons as part of supporting reintegration efforts. Activities will be guided by the RPA partnership models and will be piloted to selected grantees in target locations.

IX. SUCCESS STORIES

The success story from Q1 was finalized and uploaded on USAID Thailand CTIP page on the Winrock International website. (visit: https://www.winrock.org/country/thailand/) During Q2, Winrock received one success story from its grantee, The Freedom Story, located in the Chiang Rai province. The story is about a Burmese migrant who became paralyzed because of an accident at the construction site where he worked. With support from the project, he and his family were able to receive a 3-year lumpsum dispensation, allowing them to return to Myanmar and start their new lives.

USAID Thailand CTIP grantees are required to submit at least two success stories per year to Winrock. These stories will portray how migrants (or their communities) successfully make a better change in their lives from the support provided by the project. Selected stories will be further developed, co-branded and shared with USAID and external audience.
