TIP is the first in a series of projects that CCLP is coordinating with the US State Department on how technology can be utilized in foreign policy and global affairs.
The Mekong Sub-Region is an area which comprises Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Yunnan China and Burma and has high levels of TIP and modern day slavery. Within the region, the team will focus research on Thailand and Cambodia.
The main goal of this trip is to begin the preliminary development and design of a TIP Information Sharing Platform (ISP), a mobile and web-based system to help NGOs, social service providers, and victims of trafficking connect and share information about available resources. This system could link databases of information that already exist in the region and connect with the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative Against Trafficking (COMMIT) Process.
