Project Overview and Role
The Stamping out Trafficking in Nigeria (SoTiN) is a DFID Nigeria programme which aims to change or reduce the behaviors, attitudes, and social norms in Edo State that drive or enable human trafficking and unsafe migration.

SoTiN seeks to achieve the impact that more effective Government and non-Government institutions reduce the drivers and enablers of unsafe migration and human trafficking through three components:

• Strengthened Edo State Government response to preventing unsafe migration and human trafficking: more effective and innovative use of resources - human, financial, physical, political and network assets - supports a ‘whole of government’ approach to preventing unsafe migration and human trafficking through social and attitudinal change.
• Improved coordination, innovation, and quality of NGO response to preventing unsafe migration and human trafficking: better coordinated and more effective civil society tackling the drivers and enablers of human trafficking.
• A stronger evidence base for action in anti-slavery prevention, with learning platforms operating and informing policy and interventions: the use of evidence and sharing of best practices becomes embedded in ways of working, to deliver improved performance
