Program goal and purpose. 3.1 The broad objective of this regional technical cooperation is to heighten awareness of national authorities and othe key social actors (i.e. legislators, judges, police, private sector and civic representatives, journalists and other opinion leaders) on the need to combat trafficking in persons with sustainable policies, initiatives and programs.
