Summary
In Bulgaria, a policy lab (14/01) explored European models of independent National Rapporteurs on trafficking, focusing on monitoring, data analysis, and evidence-based policy. Experts highlighted the need for independence from policy coordination, access to reliable data, engagement with civil society and academia, and adequate resources to ensure credibility and effective oversight. Attention was given to the applicability of these models in Bulgaria, where civil society has been lobbying for an independent anti-trafficking Rapporteur.
