As more governments take action against trafficking in persons, there
has been a call to improve data collection and analysis, recognising its essential role in contributing to an evidence-based response.
Governments, academics, and NGOs collaborate with IOM and UNODC in crafting the International Classification Standard for Trafficking in Persons (ICS-TIP).
This innovative standard revolutionizes administrative data collection, offering a safe, standardized, and comprehensive approach. With a focus on individuals, events, and organizations involved in trafficking cases, ICS-TIP strives to generate high-quality statistics, enabling effective interventions and informed policymaking at global, regional, and local levels.
In this aim, IOM and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have developed the International Classification Standard for administrative data on Trafficking in Persons (ICS-TIP), working in consultation with governments, academics and NGO partners. The aim of the ICS-TIP is to facilitate the production and dissemination of high-quality administrative data on trafficking in persons.
The ICS-TIP conceptualizes the characteristics of the individuals, events and organizations involved in a trafficking in persons case, with a view to producing easily aggregated statistics for a range of government uses and for sharing and reporting at the national, regional and international levels.
ICS-TIP Guidelines
The guidelines for the practical use of the ICS-TIP, including recommendations on the collection, governance, sharing and reporting of administrative data on trafficking in persons, are included in the companion manual.
