EXIT AND
SUSTAINABILITY
STRATEGY
This Exit and Sustainability Strategy aims
to ensure that the results of GLO.ACT are
sustainable in the longer-term. The project
operates in a highly challenging environment to
improve approaches to trafficking in persons (TIP)
and smuggling of migrants (SOM) in the face of
complex security, political, economic and social
considerations, as well as competing demands on
often very limited resources.
Many of the solutions to the problems addressed by
the project are thus inevitably long-term and unlikely
to be fully sustainable within the project timeframe.
GLO.ACT interprets sustainability in this context as:
1. Contributing to progressive achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals, particularly 16 –
the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies
for sustainable development, providing access to
justice for all and building effective, accountable
and inclusive institutions at all levels.
2. Pursuing approaches that promote institutional
change and can eventually be taken forward locally
with available technical and financial resources.
3. Genuine engagement with key government and,
as appropriate civil society key stakeholders, culminating
in a clear plan for close-out or continuation
of key activities at project exit.
GLO.ACT is also committed to ensuring that sustainability
is not interpreted in a way that limits longterm
effectiveness in the response to TIP and SOM.
The project’s approach is grounded in 7 inter-related
principles as described in the following table.
If possible, an assessment will take place 6-12
months following project completion to review the
effectiveness of this strategy and identify opportunities
for future improvement.
