*Development Aid: the ‘development’ context*
The Australia-Asia Program to Combat Trafficking in Persons (AAPTIP) builds
on the experience and established partnerships developed through two
predecessor projects, Asia Regional Cooperation to Prevent People
Trafficking (ARCPPT: 2003-2006) and the Asia Regional Trafficking in
Persons Project (ARTIP: 2006-2013), both of which were managed by Cardno.
AAPTIP will continue the focus on the prosecution pillar of
anti-trafficking.
The overall goal of AAPTIP is to reduce the incentives and opportunities
for trafficking of persons in the ASEAN region. AAPTIP will operate at both
the regional and national level and will provide support to the Association
of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) by working with the ASEAN Secretariat
(ASEC); Regional Bodies in the domain of anti-human trafficking; and with
individual Partner Countries - Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Lao
PDR, Vietnam and the Philippines. AAPTIP will consolidate regional and
national capacity to sustain effective criminal justice contributions to
tackle trafficking in persons.

the program and the Trafficking in Persons Working Groups (TWGs) in each
