Khulisa Management Services, in partnership with LASER PULSE Purdue University, the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), conducted a national Trafficking in Persons (TIP) study in South Africa between 2020 and early 2022. Today the team released the study’s final multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary report on the scope and nature of human trafficking in South Africa.

The goal of the study was to provide evidence on the nature and magnitude of TIP in South Africa to policymakers in the Government of South Africa (GOSA) and to development partners, implementing partners, and service providers. The evidence will elevate data into a more prominent role in public-policy debates and amplify South African institutional capacity to participate in and lead this process through partnership with US institutions and engagement with the GOSA.
