A seminar has been held in the Mekong Delta province of An Giang to review a project set up to prevent human trafficking using a range of methods, including a programme to assist and re-integrate victims from the Mekong Delta provinces.
The US State Department provided 700 million VND (33,300 USD) for the first phase of the project from 2008-2010 and 663 million VND (31,500 USD) was funded by the Kuwaiti government to complete the second phase from 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.
