An Anti-Human Trafficking Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) was set up in 2022 with focal points from each Ministry in order to identify and implement anti-trafficking actions and work on shared challenges. The IMC explores ways in which ministries could improve their coordination in the field of trafficking in human beings, and serves as an essential tool for Malta’s efforts to meet its coordination, reporting and monitoring obligations under European and international frameworks.
The Committee also serves the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) implemented in collaboration with the European Commission and the Council of Europe to set-up the relevant tools and structures and launch the National Strategy and Action Plan on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings in Malta (2024-2030).
The validation process of the draft national THB Strategy and NAP 2024-2030 document was coordinated through the IMC to ensure its endorsement by all Ministries, departments, authorities and entities.
