Abstract - The general objective is to examine the contextual issues embedded in incidents of human smuggling and human trafficking from, within and into Ghana, and to build the capacity of requisite institutions to detect, prevent, arrest and prosecute perpetrators while safeguarding the rights and rehabilitation of victims with the overarching goal of reducing incidence of trafficking in persons and protecting victims. The project will contribute to efforts to ensure that Ghana reduces  incidence of trafficking in persons and protection of victims by complying with the minimum standards of  the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and to deliver SDG target 8.7: 'take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.'
