This pro­cure­ment guid­ance is a key step in rolling out the imple­men­ta­tion of anti-traf­fick­ing mea­sures in OSCE’s own pro­cure­ment across its exec­u­tive struc­tures and align­ing the OSCE’s man­dates with its own process­es. The guidance’s aim is to sup­port pro­cure­ment and anti-traf­fick­ing staff in the OSCE with the back­ground knowl­edge to imple­ment anti-traf­fick­ing mea­sures in pro­cure­ment activ­i­ties; along­side train­ing work­shops, pro­cure­ment risk analy­ses and local action plans. Pre­vent­ing traf­fick­ing and labour exploita­tion in sup­ply chains is no easy task. By tak­ing these first steps, the OSCE is devel­op­ing fur­ther exper­tise, and is sup­port­ing OSCE par­tic­i­pat­ing States and the inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty in their ongo­ing efforts to pre­vent traf­fick­ing for forced labour in their sup­ply chains.
