4. Project Context and Scope
This project’s overarching aim is twofold: raise community awareness about online trafficking in Fiji and Vanuatu, and bolster law enforcement’s capabilities to effectively tackle this scourge. Partnering with Vanuatu Police Force, IOM has conceptualized two primary strategies. Firstly, the pressing need to bolster the investigative, prosecutorial, and management abilities of these forces concerning technology-based trafficking. This will entail not only skill and knowledge enhancement but also revamping online systems, procuring necessary equipment, and fostering a conducive environment for information sharing. The second facet of the strategy is expansive awareness-raising.
At its core, the project seeks to fortify regional law enforcement capacities and shield vulnerable populations from online threats. The project looks at:
- Conducting swift evaluations of police and relevant law enforcement agencies’ capacities concerning technology-based trafficking.
- Providing specialized technical assistance to instruct officers and aid in investigations.
- Collaborating with pertinent governmental bodies to disseminate information about online safety, cybersecurity, and trafficking-associated risks in communities and educational institutions.
In summary, this initiative offers a comprehensive approach to countering the mounting challenges of online trafficking and cybercrimes, striving for a safer digital space in the Asia-Pacific region.
The consultancy is based on a project implemented by IOM in partnership with the Vanuatu Police Force and relevant state actors. The overall objective of the project is to strengthen states’ capacities and enhance community awareness to prevent and respond to online or technology facilitated trafficking in Fiji and Vanuatu.
The Cyber Security Specialist will play a crucial role in supporting the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MoIA), more specifically the Vanuatu Police Force (VPF), Cyber Unit, National Intelligence Unit and Interpol Unit by providing expertise in cybersecurity measures, frameworks, and emerging technologies.
The Cybersecurity Specialist will contribute to produce an assessment report, aligning with VPF’s objectives, missions, and goals. This includes developing the questionnaire, conducting the assessment, developing the report and providing recommendations on tools that could support the development of an online reporting system for Vanuatu Police Force.
