Summary:

In July 2016, the Government of Zimbabwe has launched a Trafficking in Persons (TiP) National Plan of Action (NAPLAC) to operationalize the Trafficking in Persons Act which was passed in 2014 to fight against human trafficking in the country.

Officially launched by Zimbabwe Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the plan was developed with technical support from IOM, UNODC and the SADC Secretariat. 

The government, through the Anti-Trafficking Inter-Ministerial Committee, developed the TiP NAPLAC as the country’s roadmap for the implementation of its obligations under the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons.

The plan is underpinned by the 4Ps:

  • Prevention (trafficking in persons is prevented)
  • Protection (identification, referral and assistance system for victims of trafficking is established)
  • Prosecution (an effective criminal justice response and legal framework is established) 
  • Partnership (coordination and cooperation at national, regional and international level is ensured)
