Introduction
Country: PHILIPPINES
Description of the Assignment:
General Background
The transnational organized crime (TOC) landscape in Southeast Asia has evolved dramatically in
recent years. Trafficking in persons (TIP) for the purpose of forced criminality (FC) to commit online scams
and financial fraud, particularly occurring in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and other areas of Cambodia,
Lao Peopleโs Democratic Republic (PDR), and Myanmar (especially border areas controlled by armed
groups), as well as other destination countries (including Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand) has
emerged as a new and growing trend. TOC groups are capitalizing on rising young adult unemployment
and advances in information technology to expand these operations. Hundreds of thousands of victims
of TIP for FC from across the globe have been identified in scam compounds; overall, international NGOs
have identified over 66 nationalities of trafficking victims in scam compounds in Southeast Asia.
TIP victims are recruited through fraudulent job ads on social media platforms and online job search
platforms, where there is little to no vetting, nominal verification of jobs posted, and few warnings about
the possibility of victimization through false job ads. Victims report that the employment ads and the
hiring process all seem โnormal and legitimate,โ travel and work documents are organized by the new
โemployer,โ victims are met at the airport by members of organized crime networks, they are facilitated
through immigration, and then driven to the compound to start โwork,โ at times crossing international
borders from Thailand to Myanmar, Lao PDR and/or Cambodia. Upon arrival at the compound, passports
are taken away and soon it becomes clear that they have been trafficked.
While public awareness of online scamming is high, there is limited public awareness of widespread
forced criminal operations, the dangerous conditions and illegal activities in cyber scam centers, and the
TIP element underpinning these crimes.
Objectives of the Assignment:
The purpose of the assignment is to oversee and support the planning, implementation, and
evaluation of the awareness campaign on human trafficking for forced criminality in the Philippines. It is
anticipated that the regional campaign will have a national impact, particularly through distribution of
English and Filipino content via available local media channels. The Campaign Manager will closely
collaborate with an external production company responsible for creating the campaign materials and
ensure the successful execution of the campaign's objectives. The Campaign manager will also work
closely with UNODC implementing partners (IJM and the Mekong Club) in developing the campaign and
overall strategy.
Proposal should be submitted directly in the portal no later than indicated deadline.
Any request for clarification must be sent in writing via messaging functionality in the portal. UNDP will respond in writing including an explanation of the query without identifying the source of inquiry.
Please indicate whether you intend to submit a bid by creating a draft response without submitting directly in the system.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at UNDP: we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions. Taking a โleave no one behindโ approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply.
UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Women, individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence.
UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.
