Abstract
In 2021, the African Programming & Research Initiative to End Slavery (APRIES) at the University of Georgia’s Center on Human Trafficking Research & Outreach (CenHTRO) used mixed methods to conduct baseline community-based research in Kambia, Sierra Leone on child trafficking and child labor in collaboration with Sierra Leone-based research partner Conflict Management & Development Associates. The research estimates the baseline prevalence of child trafficking in Kambia, using both traditional survey methods and the Network Scale-up Method. It also describes the nature of the problem and identifies service and policy gaps regarding child trafficking.
