One way to begin formalizing a partnership is to draft a memorandum of understanding, or MOU. An MOU describes the cooperative relationship between organizations that wish to work together. It lists the responsibilities of each party, clarifies expectations, and prevents misunderstandings.

Appropriate measures require the collaboration of local and global communities in order to address trafficking at the source level. This paper considers the possibility of partnering with an international organization and assigning a $100,000 grant to fight human trafficking efficiently. Partnering with an International Organization Cooperating closely with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) guarantees its complete approach to combating human trafficking. UNODC focuses on enhancing capacities to prevent, respond to, and eliminate transnational crimes, raise awareness, and encourage partnership. As estimated by UNODC (2021), all their global campaigns encompass prevention, protection, and prosecution initiatives because eradication of human trafficking is a multi-sectoral approach process. When joining forces with UNODC, local initiatives receive international support and experience which brings additional strength to the fight against human trafficking. Allocating the Grant The $100,000 grant will be divided into two primary allocations: community education and victim rehabilitation programs. The first half of the funding will be directed towards awareness programs: workshops, online promotions, and public lectures for the targeted groups. These campaigns are intended to let a person know how a trafficking situation can be identified and avoided. In their studies, Massey et al. (2020) explain that prevention education reduces risk levels of trafficking in vulnerable populations. The rest will be used to provide victim support services such as shelters; counseling services; training and development of survivors to reintegrate into society. Financial support provided to the process of rehabilitation solves the problem of further feelings of the consequences of trafficking and maintaining sustainable recovery. Conclusion International NGOs such as UNODC strengthen anti-human trafficking actions activated by local governments. Clearly, funding issues were effectively addressed primarily when prioritizing education and such necessary improvements as the rehabilitation of victims. In this way, it not only eradicates the cause and stands with the survivors but also helps to empower the whole fight against human trafficking and increase the community's resistance against it.
