Summary
This third annual report on The State of Efforts to Combat Trafficking in Albania 2006 - 2007 provides an updated overview on anti-.trafficking policies and programs of the Government of Albania (national and local) and civil society between August 2006 and July 2007. It briefly describes the current state of programs and services for public awareness raising, prevention services for women and children vulnerable to being trafficking, and assistance and reintegration of its victims - both child and adult. Law enforcement and prosecution are also important areas in the coordinated effort to combat trafficking of persons. The CAAHT program supports close cooperation between local government and civil society actors with law enforcement officials. Two programs of the United States Mission in Albania - the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance (ICITAP) and the Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development Assistance and Training OPDAT - work specifically in these sectors. This report does not seek to assess the law enforcement and prosecution dimension of anti-trafficking efforts in Albania.
