Integration of C-TIP activities into broader development programs
Rigorous research on C-TIP programming through surveys and impact evaluations
Institutional accountability within USAID to combat trafficking
Investments in critical trafficking challenge countries
Increase C-TIP activities in conflict and crisis-affected areas
