3. (SBU) I. APPLICANT:  Save the Children U.K. (SCUK) (Vietnam 
Office) 
REQUESTED FUNDING AMOUNT:  USD 200,000 
PROJECT TITLE:  Promoting the Protection of Children from Harm 
Associated with Human Trafficking in Places of Transit and 
Destination 
PROJECT DURATION:  Two Years 
PROPOSAL ABSTRACT:  At an April 2007 government conference in 
Vietnam, the Deputy Prime Minister noted that Vietnam had 
experienced a rise in women and child trafficking cases between 2005 
and 2006 and spoke of a "doubling" of cases over the period.  One of 
the key contributing factors is the absence of a comprehensive and 
appropriate child protection mechanism for children at local, 
provincial and national levels.  SCUK is proposing a two-year 
project to be implemented in the three provinces of Quang Ninh, 
Hanoi and Ca Mau, targeting those children who are vulnerable to 
human trafficking and abuse, trafficked victims and law enforcement 
personnel at different levels.  Expected project results include: 
1) a strengthened participatory community protection system in two 
provinces that responds effectively to the prevention and protection 
needs of children who are vulnerable to and affected by human 
trafficking; 2) a better developed capacity of legal and law 
enforcement officials in two destination provinces in Vietnam to 
provide appropriate support for protection and safe return of child 
victims of trafficking; and, 3) improved services in two transit 
centers in Quang Ninh and Hanoi to ensure the safe return and 
rehabilitation of the child victims of trafficking. 
 
II. APPLICANT:  United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), 
Vietnam Country Office 
REQUESTED FUNDING AMOUNT:  USD 203,400 
PROJECT TITLE:  Strengthening Vietnam's Criminal Justice Responses 
to Human Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants 
PROJECT DURATION:  One Year 
PROPOSAL ABSTRACT:  Capacity among legal and law enforcement 
institutions in Vietnam is still far from adequately equipped to 
draft new legislation and conduct investigations and trials.  And 
in-depth UNODC legal assessment report on the existing Vietnamese 
legislation, in comparison with the UNTOC and its Supplementing 
Protocols on Human Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants, has 
identified several gaps in Vietnam's existing legislation.  It is 
expected that Vietnam will ratify the UNTOC and its Human 
Trafficking Supplemental Protocol in 2007.  This proposed project 
will assist Vietnam in the development of legal frameworks on human 
trafficking and smuggling of migrants, including the development and 
implementation of bilateral MOUs and mutual legal assistance, 
especially with other ASEAN member states.  The project is based 
upon lessons learned from prior UNODC projects on human trafficking 
in Vietnam and will build on the materials developed and lessons 
learned from those projects.  The project is proposed to be 
implemented in conjunction with a larger three-year project aimed to 
strengthen Vietnam's criminal justice responses to human trafficking 
and migrant smuggling through enhanced border control capacities and 
international cooperation. 
 
III. APPLICANT:  The Asia Foundation - Vietnam 
REQUESTED FUNDING AMOUNT:  USD 249,049 
PROJECT TITLE:  Preventing Trafficking and Protecting the Rights of 
Trafficking Victims in Vietnam 
PROJECT DURATION:  Two Years 
PROPOSAL ABSTRACT:  Vietnamese women and their children who have 
been trafficked to other countries face a range of serious obstacles 
upon their return to Vietnam.  Government agencies may deny legal 
recognition and protection to returnees who have been out of the 
country for extended periods if they departed without notice.  In a 
growing number of cases, Vietnamese trafficking victims return home 
effectively "stateless," having given up their Vietnamese legal 
identity in order to apply for citizenship elsewhere, but ending up 
without any legal status in Vietnam or their country of residence 
because of divorce or separation from their new husbands.  This 
project has two objectives:  1) to prevent trafficking by promoting 
safe migration of Vietnamese migrants through legal education; and 
2) to enable returned trafficking survivors to claim their rights. 
The program will be implemented in four provinces with significant 
trafficking problems.  The Foundation will refine and deepen its 
work in Quang Ninh in the north and An Giang in the south, where it 
has established strong partnerships with local governments and 
 
HANOI 00000733  002 OF 002 
 
 
community organizations.  The program will then capitalize on 
resources and strategies already developed and being implemented in 
these provinces to expand legal education and legal aid services to 
Lang Son, a border province in the north, and to Tay Ninh, a border 
province in the south.  In implementing this project, the Foundation 
will continue to partner with the National Legal Aid Agency of the 
Ministry of Justice and the Vietnam Women's Union, and with other 
community-based organizations working on victim protection and 
re-integration. 
 
IV. APPLICANT:  Pacific Links Foundation (Oakland, California) 
REQUESTED FUNDING AMOUNT:  USD 309,140 
PROJECT TITLE:  Alliance for the Prevention of Trafficking (APT) 
PROJECT DURATION:  One Year 
PROPOSAL ABSTRACT:  Each year, thousands of women and children are 
trafficked from the southern Vietnamese provinces of An Giang, Dong 
Thap, Tay Ninh, Kien Giang and Tien Giang into Cambodia and then 
sold to other countries.  The World Human Rights Organization and 
UNICEF reported in 1998 that one third of the 55,000 prostitutes in 
Cambodia were under 18 and Vietnamese.  This project proposal is an 
expansion effort of ADAPT - the An Giang Dong Thap Alliance for the 
Prevention of Trafficking, a counter-trafficking program with the 
collaboration of three U.S.-based non-profit organizations including 
the Pacific Links Foundation (PALS), the East Meets West Foundation 
(EMW) and the International Children's Assistance Network (ICAN). 
ADAPT is implemented by PALS from September 2005 - August 2008. 
ADAPT's goal is to prevent the sex trafficking of young Vietnamese 
girls and women by enhancing their education and by expanding and 
improving their vocational choices through a web of support services 
in An Giang and Dong Thap, two southern provinces of Vietnam 
bordering Cambodia.  Drawing from PALS' experience in direct 
services in ADAPT, this project proposal represents an expansion of 
ADAPT to include Kien Giang, a border province that has also 
suffered greatly from human trafficking activities.  It also 
includes a public awareness and capacity building component to 
assist local communities deal more effectively with the issues of 
trafficking.  The project specifically targets poor families with 
daughters in the high-risk age group and trafficked victims and 
their families to prevent recidivism.  Communes and districts in the 
three target southern provinces are selected based on high poverty 
level, high risk and high potential impact to prevent trafficking. 
The proposal model focuses on three main components:  1) prevention, 
2) re-integration of victims and 3) awareness and capacity building 
for local partners, families and communities. 
 
V. APPLICANT:  United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human 
Trafficking (UNIAP) - Vietnam 
REQUESTED FUNDING AMOUNT:  USD 160,600 (TOTAL FUNDING:  USD 196,000, 
with USD 35,400 cost-share) 
PROJECT TITLE:  Human Trafficking Case Monitoring and Documentation 
for Improved Prosecution and Victim Protection 
PROJECT DURATION:  Two Years 
PROPOSAL ABSTRACT:  UNIAP was established to facilitate a stronger 
and more coordinated response to human trafficking in the Greater 
Mekong Sub-region (GMS).  It initially brought together six 
governments and select implementing agencies; this has now evolved 
into an extensive network of government, local and international 
NGOs, UN organizations and donors throughout the six countries, with 
links to similar networks beyond the GMS.  Vietnam's National 
Program of Action to combat trafficking in women and children has 
been in place since 2004 but with no significant improvements in the 
legal framework.  UNIAP proposes to take a new, more targeted 
approach to jump-starting positive change in the legal framework and 
its implementation on the ground.  This more operational approach 
involves case monitoring, documentation and analysis of human 
trafficking and labor exploitation cases (successful, failed, and in 
progress) by small, core GO-NGO mobile technical teams involving the 
most dedicated counter-trafficking officers in Vietnam - from the 
Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs; 
Ministry of Public Security; Vietnam Women's Union; the National 
Assembly Committee for Social Affairs and elsewhere.  While the 
activity is relatively small in scale, it aims to bring about 
several immediate results, including:  higher-level policy advocacy; 
practical, realistic training cases; improved, reliable systems for 
trafficking case monitoring; and improved government case handling. 
This program will also link up with the Worst Offenders Project, 
which is being implemented by the UNIAP Regional Office.  In both 
this project and the Worst Offenders Project, UNIAP will leverage 
its unique position to advocate for improved legal frameworks, at 
high levels and at the working/technical level.
