Trafficking in persons continues to evolve with the times. This has elicited the good faith and intensified efforts of NAPTIP in fighting against it. This is evidenced by significant advances in understanding the challenges of the menace, developing strategies for identifying and counteracting it, developing good investigation and prosecution practices, carrying out public enlightenment campaigns against the ills of human trafficking, as well as counselling and rehabilitating victims and survivors of human trafficking.

The Agency has demonstrated firm commitment and unrelenting enthusiasm in fighting human trafficking by the re-enactment of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, on 26^th March, 2015. 

One of the immediate outcomes of the re-enactment was the identification of forward-looking and comprehensive capacity building as a sine qua non for combating trafficking in persons.

In order to develop a Training Framework to cater for the training needs of its personnel and stakeholders, the Agency inaugurated a Taskforce on the standardization of the Agency’s Training Policy, Curriculum, Manual and Trainers’ Guide.  

This Trainers’ Guide is a lucid, up-to-date reference material designed to present in a systematic and user-friendly way, information that will be immensely helpful to trainers and eventually trainees in a variety of ways. It also adopts the generic model of a trainers’s guide, which is specific, straightforward, concise and easy to use by all.

The Trainer plays a significant role in facilitating the learning process, in order to make training meaningful and relevant to the trainee. It is important to note that training is nothing but organized learning for a well-defined purpose and the trainer is key to effective learning. 

A cursory look at the chapters in this Trainers’ Guide shows that it is an exposé to provide trainers with requisite skills, competencies, and resources necessary to deliver quality training to trainees.

The Trainers’ Guide also addresses other training needs of the Agency, bearing in mind the multi-faceted nature of the Agency’s mandate.

This document presents its contents in simplified language, easily-understood chapters, and thought-provoking visuals.  It contains a wealth of insight into professional training and the conduct and skills of a trainer, and provides source materials for trainers, trainees, law enforcement training institutions, and the general public.

This document is divided into eight chapters for ease of presentation and they are as follows:

1.    Introduction

2.    Objectives of the Trainers’ Guide

3.    Characteristics of a Trainer

4.    Dos and Don’ts for Trainers

5.    Training Plan

6.    Training Methodology

7.    Training Responsibilities

8.    Recommendations and Review.

It is the expectation of the Agency that the adoption of this Trainers’ Guide will provide trainers with a standard document to deliver quality training to the Agency’s personnel and its stakeholders.

The objectives of the Trainers’ Guide are as follows:

      i.        To provide trainers with systematic and detailed information required to conduct a successful training programme on behalf of the Agency;

     ii.   To equip trainers to facilitate and deliver quality trainings as appropriate by acquainting them with the requisite skills, competencies and resources;

    iii.        To provide standardized training to officers in the practical application of learned information;

   iv.        To serve as a reference document for the evaluation of the trainers and the training delivered on behalf of the Agency.
