However, some actions are carried out by the Ministry for Social Affairs in partnership with the Ministry of Justice and NGOs in the fight against trafficking in Pointe Noire. In Congo, the phenomenon of child trafficking was formally established following the situation analysis conducted in November 2006 and published in July 2007 with the support of UNICEF. Approximately 1,800 children are affected by trafficking. The aspects entail cross-border trafficking in Pointe Noire mainly from Benin, and in Brazzaville from the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as domestic fostering international adoption. Therefore, a local action plan has been implemented in Pointe Noire in partnership with the Consulate of Benin, the city of Pointe Noire, the Departmental Directorate of Social Affairs and the Family and the NGO Commission Justice et Paix and ALTO. One team of activities coordination has been set up by memo No. 0232 / MASSAHF / DGASF April 22, 2008. The following activities were carried out: rolling out of an awareness campaign through the media, churches, mosques and markets, training 13 religious leaders and 34 workers, producing a DVD, installation of two listening spaces, identification of seven foster families and locating three care centres.. According to the action plan 2009-2010, the following activities were organised: (i) training of 30 facilitators on outreach sensitisation in July 2010; (ii) sensitisation of communities through banners (10) theatre (2), door to door (30), community meetings (2), spots / radio and television programmes (4); (iii) production of a DVD, (iv) care of 21 trafficked children including 16 who were repatriated, 02 were placed in foster family and 03 rehabilitated locally. The existing inter country trafficking in Pointe Noire coming essentially from Benin, the Government of the Republic sent in 2009 to its Benin counterpart, a draft bilateral agreement between the two States on human trafficking, especially children. This preliminary draft mainly addresses the prevention and suppression of child trafficking, strengthening mutual assistance in this area. It also regulates the protection, repatriation, rehabilitation and reintegration of children in accordance with the existing legal instruments. In anticipation of the major Joint Cooperation Committee Benin - Congo 2009, a delegation of the Ministry for Social Affairs visited Cotonou (Benin) from 26 March to 2 April 2009) to sensitise the relevant authorities of Benin and discuss with them the terms of the draft. The Benin party requested time to better reflect on the document. It is understood that they will send their counter proposal through diplomatic channels. During the work of the joint commission held in late 2009, both parties have agreed to implement more stringent action on the ground in order to fight against this problem. 114
