Objectives:
• Understand the key actors involved in human smuggling and human trafficking, and place their activities into local political and economic contexts.

• Discuss the ways that security sector actors can use border governance frameworks and approaches to address human smuggling and human trafficking, both for the benefit of border communities and for that of the people being smuggled or trafficked.
