An Anti-Human Trafficking Inter-Ministerial Committee has been set up with focal points from each Ministry in order to identify and implement measurable actions within their purview and collaborating on shared challenges. The committee will explore ways how ministries and departments could improve their coordination in the field of trafficking in human beings: it will also serve as an essential tool for Malta’s efforts to meet its coordination, reporting and monitoring obligations under European and international frameworks. The Committee is part of the mechanisms of the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) project being implemented in collaboration with the European Commission and the Council of Europe to set-up the relevant tools and structures and launch the first National Strategy and Action Plan Against Trafficking.
