The Program to End Modern Slavery: A Review of State Department Oversight of Human Trafficking Grant Recipients
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Abstract
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs issued a Minority Staff report in which they investigated how the Trafficking in Persons Office at the State Department awarded $46 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars to The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery, a brand-new entity with no prior experience in managing U.S. grant funds, in order to combat human trafficking. The investigation uncovered that it is unclear if the $46 million awarded to the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery will make a long-term difference in the fight against human trafficking. Moreover, the Committee issued multiple recommendations to the Trafficking in Persons Office, including a recommendation for the office to develop a standardized policy for awarding future funding that includes grantee past performance.
