Our role
Itad is leading the consortium providing monitoring, evaluation and learning support to DFID’s SOSIN (Stamping out Slavery in Nigeria) programme. Itad’s work is improving the evidence base on modern-day slavery, in addition to supporting new and innovative approaches to tackling human trafficking, mainly in Edo State of Nigeria.
Objectives
The SOSIN programme represents DFID’s and the UK’s major response, aiming to strengthen Edo State’s response to modern slavery, support the response of law enforcement, improve support for victims in Nigeria, Albania and Vietnam, and pilot interventions focused on changing norms and behaviours in Edo State that are conducive to human trafficking and unsafe migration.
Over the course of four years, Itad’s MEL Unit aims to provide improved learning and accountability for the programme by supporting the careful collection of evidence and its application in programme adaptation. This will help us to monitor and improve the overall effectiveness of the SOSIN programme’s interventions, whilst also contributing to a stronger evidence base on modern-day slavery, both in Nigeria and globally.
