| Policy Coherence/Harmonization |
Evaluation |
According to the report "several international organizations and NGOs are running their own anti-trafficking initiatives. Using differing definitions and miscommunication can create tensions and conflict between organizations. The lack of communication and information sharing, however, can lead to duplication of efforts. Many international organizations work on the ground through local organizations and many of them work with the same local partners. Often, international organizations require their local partners to report on what happens on the ground without communicating with each other." |
