Summary:

Human trafficking has been identified as a key threat to the EU which has committed itself to combat it, both within and beyond its borders. The audit examined the comprehensiveness of EU’s approach to fighting human trafficking and whether EU projects contributed effectively to the fight against human trafficking in South/South-East Asia.

Eradicating human trafficking is necessarily a long term process which demands addressing root causes and disrupting criminal networks. Given this, we found that the EU was partially effective in supporting the fight against human trafficking in South/South-East Asia.

We make recommendations to further develop the human trafficking strategic framework and to optimise the impact of projects by integrating them into a comprehensive framework.
