The Australia-Asia Program to Combat Trafficking in Persons (AAPTIP) is a five-year (2013–2018) AU$50 million
initiative of the Australian aid program that aims to reduce the incentives and
opportunities for trafficking of persons in the Association of South East Asia
Nations(ASEAN) region.
AAPTIP builds on Australia’s long-term
support for programs to strengthen the criminal justice response to human
trafficking in Asia. These programs include the Asia Regional Cooperation to
Prevent People Trafficking (ARCPPT; 2003–2006), and the Asia Regional
Trafficking in Persons (ARTIP; 2006–2013) project.
AAPTIP focuses on the prosecution pillar of
anti-trafficking at the national and regional level. Support will be provided
to the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC), and partner countries Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao
PDR, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
AAPTIP will strengthen the criminal justice
response to trafficking by: enhancing regional and national investigative and
judicial cooperation on trafficking cases; strengthening legislative
frameworks; providing adequate support for victim-witnesses; and expanding the
evidence base for policy development and decision-making.
