IOM Turkmenistan organizes online training for NGOs in the field of anti-trafficking

Today representatives of about 10 NGOs – partners of IOM – are participating in an one-day online training to develop their organizations’ capacity building strategies that can help them adapt their activities to the new operational realities that emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The training will focus on changes that the NGOs have to introduce in their internal organizational processes, on new approaches to the provision of services to victims of trafficking and on new formats of conducting communication and advocacy activities to prevent human trafficking.

Among other things, the participants learnt how to organize remote work more effectively, which preventive measures they should take while working in the office, how they can use video conferencing to communicate with beneficiaries and partners, how to leverage communication and advocacy work, and which opportunities are there to introduce more information and communication technologies in their operations.

In the end of the training, each organization was introduced with a capacity building strategy that can help adapt activities to the new working conditions.

The training is organized in the framework of an IOM project supported by the Government of Norway.
