Method

Our Strategic Approach

01

DATA-DRIVEN PREVENTION

We use responsible data collection, risk analysis, community intelligence, scam typologies and public education to identify emerging threats and strengthen prevention.

02

SURVIVOR-CENTRED PROTECTION & REINTEGRATION

We promote safe referral, dignity, informed consent, confidentiality, peer support and appropriate pathways for survivor protection and reintegration.

03

EVIDENCE-BASED ADVOCACY

We translate responsible data and field evidence into practical engagement with public authorities, civil society organisations, international organisations, diplomatic missions and other relevant stakeholders.

Through this model, ASMI-Cameroun is developing its role as a Data Sentinel organisation for safe migration and anti-trafficking prevention.
