THE WORK IN THESE THREE PILLARS IS UNDERPINNED WITH A ROBUST APPROACH TO EVIDENCE AND LEARNING, INCLUDING PREVALENCE MEASUREMENT. FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A: COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION - INDIA, VIETNAM, BANGLADESH, KENYA, AND UGANDA RULE OF LAW: WITH THE SUPPORT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, GFEMS TARGETS SPECIFIC HIGH-RISK AREAS WITH AN AIM TOWARDS PROVING MODELS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND-IN SOME CASES-EQUIPPING STAKEHOLDERS TO IMPLEMENT ANTI-TRAFFICKING LAWS FOR THE FIRST TIME. GFEMS IS ALSO IMPROVING LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND ESTABLISHING VICTIM-FRIENDLY PROCESSES DURING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS TO PREVENT RE-TRAUMATIZATION AND FACILITATE TRAFFICKER PROSECUTION. BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT: GFEMS PARTNERS WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO PROVIDE MARKET-DRIVEN JOBS FOR SURVIVORS. ONE SUCH PROGRAM IS SECURING CO-INVESTMENT BY MAJOR HOTELS TO TRAIN AND PLACE SURVIVORS IN THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES COLLABORATING WITH NGOS TO IDENTIFY AND PREPARE SURVIVORS OF TRAFFICKING OR OTHER HIGH-RISK YOUTH FOR PLACEMENT IN JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS, THEREBY SETTING THEM UP FOR SUCCESS. ONCE SURVIVORS GRADUATE FROM THE TRAINING PROGRAM, GFEMS PARTNERS WORK WITH HOTELS TO PLACE GRADUATES IN SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY JOBS. IN ADDITION TO DOCUMENTING THE PROGRAM TO INFORM POTENTIAL SCALE-UP EFFORTS WITHIN THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR, GFEMS IS DEVELOPING A "BLUEPRINT" FOR REPLICATING MARKET-BASED SURVIVOR EMPLOYMENT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES. SUSTAINING FREEDOM: GFEMS FUNDS PREVENTION EFFORTS IN THE FORM OF TARGETED BEHAVIOR CHANGE CAMPAIGNS TO REDUCE RISKY DECISION-MAKING BY REACHING THE MOST VULNERABLE WITH PRECISE MESSAGING ABOUT TRAFFICKER TACTICS (WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN GENERAL AWARENESS RAISING). GFEMS ALSO FUNDS SIGNIFICANT TRAUMA-INFORMED SURVIVOR REHABILITATION AND REINTEGRATION, MAPPING MODELS THAT THE PUBLIC SECTOR CAN REPLICATE IN OTHER CONTEXTS, INCLUDING LINKING SURVIVORS TO JOBS AND EDUCATION. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: OVERSEAS LABOR RECRUITMENT - VIETNAM, THE PHILIPPINES, BANGLADESH, INDIA, KENYA, UGANDA RULE OF LAW: GFEMS IS FUNDING THE CREATION OF A DIGITAL CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT ENABLES PHILIPPINES GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO MORE EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO CASES OF MODERN SLAVERY WHEN DETECTED. THE PROGRAM HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED AN INTERAGENCY TASK FORCE ON FORCED LABOR OF OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS (OFWS) TO ENHANCE GOVERNMENT CAPACITY TO PROSECUTE AND CONVICT TRAFFICKERS OF OFWS, REDUCING THE IMPUNITY WITH WHICH TRAFFICKERS OPERATE. GFEMS IS ALSO FUNDING CAPACITY BUILDING TO IMPROVE LAWS AND BETTER IMPLEMENT EXISTING LEGISLATION THAT REDUCES THE VULNERABILITY OF MIGRANTS. BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT: GFEMS IS FOCUSED ON EXPANDING SUSTAINABLE ETHICAL RECRUITMENT MODELS, INCLUDING STANDING UP AN ETHICAL RECRUITMENT AGENCY THAT CAN PLACE COMPETITIVE PRESSURE ON OTHER RECRUITERS TO REFORM PRACTICES. THE FUND IS ALSO LEVERAGING PRIVATE SECTOR DEMAND FOR ETHICAL RECRUITMENT TO INCENTIVIZE MARKET-WIDE MOVEMENT TO ETHICAL PRINCIPLES THAT ADHERE TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. FINALLY, GFEMS IS FUNDING TAILORED CAPACITY BUILDING FOR RECRUITMENT FIRMS THAT ARE WORKING TO OPERATIONALIZE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS BUT LACK THE CAPABILITY TO DO SO. THIS INVESTMENT IN RESPONSIBLE RECRUITMENT AGENCIES CONFERS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ON THESE FIRMS OVER NON-ETHICAL BROKERS. SUSTAINING FREEDOM: IN ADDITION TO ENSURING JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS, GFEMS IS CONNECTING SURVIVORS AND RETURNED MIGRANTS WITH REINTEGRATION SERVICES TO ENSURE THEY HAVE SUCCESSFUL LONG-TERM OUTCOMES THAT REDUCE THEIR VULNERABILITY TO RE-TRAFFICKING. THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE LEGAL, HEALTH, FINANCIAL, AND LIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVES TO RISKY MIGRATION. GFEMS ALSO EMPOWERS MIGRANTS IN THEIR DECISION-MAKING BY PROVIDING RELEVANT, ACCURATE, AND CLEAR INFORMATION DIRECTLY TO PROSPECTIVE WORKERS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: CONSTRUCTION - INDIA RULE OF LAW: GFEMS PARTNERS FACILITATE RESCUE OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING WHO ARE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE HOTLINE AND TRACKING SYSTEM. AFTER RESCUE, THE FUND ASSISTS WORKERS WITH LEGAL ACTION TO RECOVER COMPENSATION. BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT: GFEMS FACILITATES INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT AND STRATEGIC SUPPORT WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF MAKING THE PROGRAM SUSTAINABLE THROUGH PRIVATE SECTOR BUY-IN. THE FUND FACILITATES ON-THE-JOB TRAINING THROUGH A NETWORK OF ETHICAL MICRO-CONTRACTORS AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) FOR WORKERS. MICRO-CONTRACTORS, WHO TYPICALLY EMPLOY BETWEEN 10-50 WORKERS EACH, ARE THE PRIMARY EMPLOYERS OF UNSKILLED/SEMI-SKILLED WORKERS ON CONSTRUCTION SITES. GFEMS TRAINS MICRO-CONTRACTORS ON THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF WORKERS, INCLUDING ANTI-TIP TRAINING, AND THE BUSINESS CASE FOR DOING SO. THIS OFTEN RESULTS IN HIGHER WAGES, IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS, AND BETTER LONG- TERM JOB PROSPECTS FOR WORKERS, ALL OF WHICH ARE CORRELATED WITH A REDUCTION IN FORCED LABOR AND EXPLOITATION. SUSTAINING FREEDOM: GFEMS HELPS PREVENT TRAFFICKING BY CREATING A SAFETY NET THROUGH ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENTS, SUCH AS BENEFITS FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION, DEATH, AND DISABILITY. THESE ENTITLEMENTS REDUCE FINANCIAL SHOCKS AND ENABLE WORKERS TO MAKE MORE CONSIDERED DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER TO MIGRATE FOR WORK. THE FUND ALSO PROVIDES VICTIM PROTECTION SERVICES, SUCH AS COUNSELING AND REPATRIATION AFTER RESCUE FROM EXPLOITATIVE CONDITIONS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D: APPAREL AND MANUFACTURING - BANGLADESH AND INDIA GFEMS WORKS WITH COMPANIES AND NGOS TO REVEAL AND MITIGATE FORCED LABOR IN APPAREL SUPPLY CHAINS. SPECIFICALLY, GFEMS WORKS TO IDENTIFY UNAUTHORIZED SUBCONTRACTING, BETTER UNDERSTAND THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF INDIVIDUALS (INCLUDING CHILDREN) IN FORCED LABOR CONDITIONS, AND PROVIDE SOLUTIONS THAT INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND DECREASE PRACTICES THAT EXACERBATE EXPLOITATION. BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT: GFEMS IS WORKING TO DEVELOP A TOOL TO PREDICT RISK OF UNAUTHORIZED SUBCONTRACTING IN APPAREL SUPPLY CHAINS. GFEMS IS ALSO DEVELOPING A SUPPLIER CAPACITY PLATFORM TO BETTER MATCH BRAND NEEDS WITH SUPPLIER AVAILABILITY. THESE TOOLS MAY BE USED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO PINPOINT AND ALLEVIATE CONDITIONS THAT MAY LEAD TO EXPLOITATION. SUSTAINING FREEDOM: GFEMS IS PROVIDING DIRECT OUTREACH TO WORKERS TO UNDERSTAND CONDITIONS IN INFORMAL FACTORIES AND THE LEVEL OF EXPLOITATION BASED ON INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION INDICATORS. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO DESIGN BETTER INTERVENTIONS FOR ASSISTANCE. GFEMS ALSO HELPS INFORM WORKERS OF THEIR RIGHTS AND OFFERS REFERRALS FOR CHILDREN TO LEAVE EXPLOITATIVE SITUATIONS. THROUGHOUT 2020, THE FUND EXPANDED PROGRAMMING TO NEW GEOGRAPHIES AND SECTORS. GFEMS ALSO PROVIDED EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR SURVIVORS AND HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. FINALLY, GFEMS CONTINUED BUILDING PROGRAM STAFF CAPACITY, AS WELL AS OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONALITY. EVIDENCE AND LEARNING GFEMS IS A DATA-DRIVEN ORGANIZATION. WE VALUE THE GENERATION OF DATA FOR EVERYONE WORKING TO END MODERN SLAVERY, AND MAKE AVAILABLE NUMEROUS REPORTS, BRIEFINGS, AND OTHER EVIDENCE-BASED PUBLICATIONS TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST INFORMATION. OUR FOCUS IS ON ACTIONABLE DATA THAT ENABLES POLICY-MAKERS, BUSINESS LEADERS, AND CIVIL SOCIETY TO TARGET THEIR EFFORTS ON SUPPORTING EVIDENCE-BASED POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. PREVALENCE MEASUREMENT AS A HIDDEN CRIME, EVIDENCE ON MODERN SLAVERY HAS BEEN CHALLENGING TO OBTAIN. BECAUSE OF THIS CHALLENGE, THE ANTI-SLAVERY SECTOR HAS SUFFERED FROM A LACK OF EVIDENCE AND RELIABLE DATA, SPECIFICALLY INDUSTRY OR GEOGRAPHY-SPECIFIC DATA THAT IDENTIFIES SCALE AND SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM. DRAWING INSIGHTS FROM PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER DISCIPLINES, GFEMS IS SUPPORTING POPULATION-BASED ESTIMATIONS OF PREVALENCE IN SELECT SECTORS AND GEOGRAPHIES. ESTIMATES CONTRIBUTE TO A SPARSE EVIDENCE BASE AND ENABLE GFEMS TO ASSESS MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM TRENDS OVER TIME. AS OF JANUARY 1, 2021, THE FUND HAS SUPPORTED 11 PREVALENCE STUDIES THAT SPAN THE APPAREL SECTOR, CONSTRUCTION, OVERSEAS LABOR RECRUITMENT, AND COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. PROJECT MONITORING, EVALUATION, & LEARNING ROUTINE DATA MONITORING ALLOWS FOR A REAL-TIME EXAMINATION OF PROGRESS AND FACILITATES DIALOGUE ON WHETHER ADAPTATIONS ARE NEEDED TO ACHIEVE PROGRAMMATIC SUCCESS. BENEFICIARY FEEDBACK IS A CRITICAL PART OF THAT ANALYSIS. INTERVENTIONS ARE TESTED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. WHERE FEASIBLE, COUNTERFACTUALS ARE EXAMINED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND IMPACT. IN 2020, GFEMS EXPANDED ITS CONTRACTED MEL PARTNERS TO OVER 10, STRENGTHENING THE ABILITY OF GFEMS TO UNDERSTAND INTERVENTION EFFECTIVENESS USING A BROAD RANGE OF EVALUATIVE METHODS. NON-PROJECT BASED RESEARCH NON-PROJECT BASED RESEARCH EFFORTS FILL GAPS IN EVIDENCE, INFORM FUTURE INVESTMENTS, OR MEET THE RESEARCH NEEDS OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS. GFEMS SUPPORTS NON-PROJECT BASED RESEARCH IN THREE WAYS. RISK ASSESSMENT: GFEMS PROVIDES SEED FUNDING AND IN-HOUSE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE TOOLS TO MEASURE RISK IN SUPPLY CHAINS, WHICH ASSIST PRIVATE SECTOR EFFORTS TO IDENTIFY MODERN SLAVERY RISK. IN 2020, INVESTMENTS EXPANDED TO FOUR RISK-DETECTION PROJECTS UTILIZING SECONDARY DATA, MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES, AND/OR OTHER FORMS OF STATISTICAL MODELING TO IDENTIFY RISK. EXTRAMURAL RESEARCH: IN 2020, GFEMS SUPPORTED FOUR RAPID ASSESSMENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE EFFECT ON THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON RISKS TO MODERN SLAVERY. THE FUND ALSO SUPPORTED A POLICY ANALYSIS STUDY ON THE INFORMAL GARMENT SECTOR IN BANGLADESH AND A GOOD PRACTICES HANDBOOK FOR STAKEHOLDERS ADDRESSING CSEC IN SOUTH ASIA. FIELD-BUILDING INVESTMENTS: GFEMS SUPPORTS CAPACITY BUILDING FOR GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL INSTITUTIONS FOR IMPROVED DATA COLLECTION, DATA MANAGEMENT, AND DATA SECURITY. COLLECTIVELY, STRENGTHENING DATA INFRASTRUCTURE ENABLES EVIDENCE-INFORMED POLICY AND PROGRAMMING DECISIONS. THE FUND CONTINUES TO SUPPORT A GLOBAL PROJECT ON VICTIM CASE DATA STANDARDIZATION.
