The ACP-EU Migration Action is seeking concept notes for its funding program under the topic “Counter-Trafficking in Human Beings and/or Counter-Smuggling of Migrants” in the Caribbean, Southern Africa and the Pacific Region.
Both THB and Smuggling of Migrants constitute prosperous and difficult to trace multi-billion businesses of which the scale is hard to quantify reliably.
