As at now, two Task Forces have been set up in Bamenda and Buea; setting up operating standards for a national referencing system in the fight against the smuggling and trafficking in persons; organizing, in collaboration with the International Migration Organisation (IMO), of training sessions on the referencing of victims of sale, smuggling and traffic of human beings; the implementation of the support project to fight against the trafficking in human beings in Gulf of Guinea countries, in partnership with French Cooperation.
