UN-ACT and Scoping Phase DMD 2014-2022 UN-ACT and Scoping Phase DMD 2014-2022 The intervention aims to contribute to the collaboration and support to the key stakeholders in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) working to combat human trafficking in order to increase the effectiveness of the efforts. The intervention will be managed and implemented by the UNDP Asia Pacific Regional Center (UNDP APRC) and the project UN-ACT (Action for Cooperation against Trafficking in persons) is under the direct supervision of the UNDP regional director and a regional project manager. UNDP has developed a project document in 2013 based on top priorities and challenges in efforts to combat human trafficking according to the six countries of the GMS region, civil society and other actors. 

The outcome of UN-ACT is Key anti-trafficking stakeholders in the region are working in a more cooperative and mutually supportive manner to effectively combat trafficking in persons. The outcome is anticipated to achieve through the 4 result areas as follow. 1, The COMMIT Process is strengthened to become sustainable and self-reliant; 2. COMMIT countries increase their cooperation with other countries and regional actors to effectively counter human trafficking; 3. Policy makers, academia, non-state actors and the public have increased access to evidence-based research and knowledge on human trafficking; 4. Civil society and other non-governmental actors are able to contribute more effectively to anti-trafficking efforts

In 2019, the transition of UN-ACT has started. The operation of the COMMIT process is transferred from the programme to the COMMIT countries. The UN-ACT programme has gradually shifted its focus from human trafficking to migration & development framework (M&D) by drawing lessons learnt and key findings from UN-ACT programme particularly gender responsive and human rights-based approach. The scoping activities for M&D framework are planned for 2020. Insatsen syftar till att bidra till samarbete och stöd till de viktigaste intressenterna i Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) som arbetar för att bekämpa människohandel för att öka insatsernas effektivitet. Interventionen kommer att hanteras och genomföras av UNDP Asia Pacific Regional Center (UNDP APRC) och projektet UN-ACT (Action for Cooperation against Trafficking in persons) och hanteras av UNDP: s regiondirektör och en regional projektledare. UNDP har utvecklat ett projektdokument 2013 baserat på prioriteringar och utmaningar i arbetet med att bekämpa människohandel identifierat av de sex länderna i GMS-regionen, det civila samhället och andra aktörer.

Resultatet av UN-ACT är viktiga intressenter mot människohandel i regionen arbetar på ett mer samarbetsvilligt och ömsesidigt stödjande sätt för att effektivt bekämpa människohandel. Resultatet förväntas uppnås genom de fyra resultatområdena som följer. 1, COMMIT-processen stärks för att bli hållbar och självförsörjande; 2. COMMIT-länderna ökar sitt samarbete med andra länder och regionala aktörer för att effektivt motverka människohandel. 3. Politiska beslutsfattare, forsknings aktörer , icke-statliga aktörer och allmänheten har ökad tillgången till evidensbaserad forskning och kunskap om människohandel. 4. Det civila samhället och andra icke-statliga aktörer kan bidra mer effektivt till insatser mot människohandel

År 2019 började övergången till UN-ACT. Driften av COMMIT-processen överförs från programmet till COMMIT-länderna. UN-ACT-programmet har gradvis flyttat fokus från människohandel till migrations- och utvecklingssamarbete. viktiga lärdomar och resultat från UN-ACT-programmet, med betoning på jämställdhet och rättighetsperspektivet Genomförandet  för migration och utveckling är planerad till 2020. The Objectives of the intervention are framed in accordance with the UN-ACT initiative which later on transited into the DMD pilot study.
UN-ACT
The objective: Key anti-trafficking stakeholders in the region are working in a more cooperative and mutually supportive manner to effectively combat trafficking in persons. The UN-ACT programme activities were planned around the 4 main outputs as follow:
Output 1: The COMMIT Process is strengthened to become sustainable and self-reliant
Output 2: COMMIT countries increase their cooperation with other countries and regional actors to effectively counter human trafficking
Output 3: Policy makers, academia, non-state actors and the public have increased access to evidence-based research and knowledge on human trafficking
Output 4: Civil society and other non-governmental actors are able to contribute more effectively to anti-trafficking efforts
DMD Pilot Initiative
According to the latest concept note, the objective of the pilot initiative is re-formulated as follows:  "The resilience of migrants, displaced people and host communities in informal urban settlements to shocks and crises is strengthened,”
Note: Resilience in this context is defined as an enabler for development which means 'a transformative process of strengthening the capacity of people, communities, institutions, and countries to anticipate, prevent, recover from and transform in the aftermath of shocks, stresses and change'. 
The objective could be achieved through the intervention of four components;
1. Mitigation of disasters, climate events and change (migration as a choice)
2. Strengthening social cohesion
3. Improving livelihoods 
4. Enhancing urban planning and development including access to health and other key services (re-integration)
