  1. Asian Development Bank Mainstreaming Anti-Trafficking Concerns into Development: A Potential Partnership Model for ADB Overview: Key Findings and Recommendations of ADB’s Regional Study in South Asia Sonomi Tanaka, ADB 14 November 2002, Hawaii

  2. ADB – Overall Approach • Mainstream into loan projects with grant-based TAs and pilots • Links to ADB’s policies rationalizing involvement: • Poverty Reduction Strategy (1999) • Policy on Gender and Development (1998) • Social Protection Strategy (2001) • Good Governance • Regional cooperation

  3. ADB – RETA 5948 • Understand where a niche or value added might lie for ADB while contributing to capacity building • Considered three countries – Bangladesh, India and Nepal • Seek to apply findings to other regions where ADB operates

  4. Findings from RETA 5948 • Gender inequalities are central • Poverty – causal factor among others • Mobility - has positive potential but creates vulnerability • Stem demand for trafficked labor

  5. ADB Operational Strategy • Redressing gender inequalities and social attitudes to women

  6. ADB Operational Strategy cont. • Targeting those most vulnerable to trafficking in poverty reduction operations

  7. ADB Operational Strategy cont. • Targeting the vulnerable in mitigating adverse social impact and emergency loans • Encouraging safe migration through various indirect measures

  8. ADB Operational Strategy cont. • Stemming demand for trafficked labor (e.g. in civil works; social protection measures to observe core labor standards) • Strengthening local governance

  9. ADB Operational Strategy cont. • Linking regional economic cooperation with anti-trafficking

  10. ADB Operational Steps • Understanding the issues • Partnerships with anti-trafficking stakeholders • Commitment to monitoring ADB-supported activities • Raising concerns in policy dialogue

  11. ADB - Partnership • Government, NGOs and CS Organizations, Private Sector, Regional Cooperation Entities, Donors • Roles: • To implement components • To monitor mainstreaming and progress • To identify and advocate for linkages with anti-trafficking concerns

  12. ADB - Challenges • Trafficking - not see as ‘direct’ relevance • ‘Indirect’ linkages not enough for investment decisions • Sensitivity – political and moral • Rescue/repatriation not ADB’s area • Difficulty in outreaching ‘informal’ sector and mobile population • Difficulty in monitoring codes of conduct of contractors and subcontractors
