devoted to interactive, student-centred teaching methodology, as well as to testing and adapting materials in classroom conditions. In August, the Office and the Academy put "finishing touches" on the course materials. Four Academy instructors, who completed the training-of-trainers, teaching methodology and course development process that had begun in November 2009, "field tested" segments of the course by teaching it to eleven Police Academy cadets. Their teaching was observed by an international expert who provided immediate feedback to ensure application of interactive methodologies and to make any final adjustments to the course material that emerged in the test run with students. Cadets and instructors expressed satisfaction with the new teaching methodology. On 24 August 2010, the full curriculum for Human Trafficking Crimes Investigation was officially handed over to the Deputy Head of the Police Academy. Human Trafficking Crimes Investigation will henceforth be offered regularly after cadets fulfil other requirements in the first three months of the academic year. In late September and early October 2010, the Office supported a course in which the instructors from the Academy, who had been trained in the Office-sponsored courses on antitrafficking, taught investigation techniques to trainers in the Border Troops Academy. The curriculum and course materials in Human Trafficking Crimes Investigation that were developed for the Academy were used as the basis for the curriculum and materials for the Border Troops Academy course in Human Trafficking Awareness. This was also an example of increased co-operation between two Tajik state institutions charged with training law enforcement and border management officials. In October, the Government of Tajikistan' s Inter-Agency Commission to Combat Human Trafficking invited the Office to participate in the working group developing the country' s second National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking and the set-up of a National Referral Mechanism. The 13-member working group included government representatives who had earlier taken part in OSCE anti-trafficking training, and also included civil society representatives. The Office submitted detailed recommendations for the new draft Action Plan, based not only on international models but on the litigation experience of a consultant who had defended the interests of trafficked labourers in court cases. In November, the Office organized a meeting between the working group, instructors and participants in the Border Management Staff College training on trafficking in persons. The course participants and instructors - professionals from Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Tajikistan and Russia shared their practitioners'experiences with the Tajik policymakers. In November 2010, the Office supported advanced interactive methodology training for five instructors who will teach the 80 cadets at the Police Academy who have enrolled in the Human Trafficking Crimes Investigation course. The Office also provided strategic support to new co-operation processes designed to promote coordination and information exchange among the government, civil society and international actors working on anti-trafficking initiatives. In August 2010, the Office facilitated the first high-level “Dialogue on Human Trafficking”, supported by the Government of Tajikistan. Dialogue sessions are to convene quarterly and are co-chaired by the Deputy Foreign Minister of Tajikistan, the head of the Tajik state Inter-Agency Committee on Trafficking in Human Beings, and the OSCE Head of Office. Participants include senior officials from the Ministries of Justice, Interior, Education, Social Affairs and Labour, as well as the First Deputy General Prosecutor, the First Deputy of the National Security Committee, representatives of civil society, international organizations and diplomatic missions. In the first session, participants discussed the results of the Government of Tajikistan' s current Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking, which ended in 2010, and the Trafficking in Persons Report released by the U.S. State Department. In the second session, held in November, participants agreed to move forward quickly in finalizing a new state Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. 105
