The evaluation gives in our view a balanced insight into strengths and weaknesses of the single largest collaboration partner for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this topic. During the period 2000-2010 IOM received approximately NOK 89 million to its counter trafficking work. IOM staff is regarded as “highly skilled” and “very supportive.” The report highlights capacity-building, awareness-raising, and victim support as areas where the organization has been successful. The work with victims has not only enabled the organisation to support structures to assist those in need, but has also provided insights into the trafficking problem which have informed other initiatives. This does not mean that there is no room for improvement. At this point, it is important, that IOM focuses on strengthening its internal processes including those relating to how progress is measured, which lessons are captured and feed into future programmed development and particularly those relating to ensuring that IOM’s expressed commitment to human rights consistently translates into practice. Furthermore IOM is recommended to increase collaboration with other organisations in order to reduce overlap between its counter trafficking activities and the work of other organizations. Although IOM’s internal view is that a major strength of the organization is being able to address all aspects of trafficking, staff of organizations outside of IOM did not agree and commonly expressed the concern that IOM’s attempt to address all areas of counter-trafficking exceeds IOM’s mandate. With regard to Norway, the major recommendation is to increase the timeframe of project funding. Today IOM’s work is funded on a project-by-project basis – referred to as projectisation – with only three percent of overall funds coming from core operational resources. One consequence of this form of funding is that IOM tends to create projects in response to donor requests, rather than having a more systematic frame or criteria for determining when and how to allocate resources to countries or programmes.
