Within the project’s framework, a new set of training documents on combating human trafficking and protecting victims will be developed for frontline officers. The documents, which updates information on new laws, crime trends and specific cases, will be used for 16 training courses for more than 600 frontline border guards on crime prevention, control and immigration control nationwide.

The project is expected to create opportunities to promote cross-border cooperation between the Border Guard force and regional partners, enabling the exchange of effective handling methods, professional knowledge and practical experience that have been successfully applied in the investigation and prosecution of cross-border crimes.

Besides, the project provides communication skill training for frontline staff to better popularize information about safe migration, reducing illegal migration in vulnerable communities in border areas.
