REF: STATE 60539
1. On June 18, Pol/Mil Officer delivered reftel demarche to
Mr. Saidou Ouedraogo, Trafficking in Person Director at the
Ministry of Social Action. Pol/Mil officer shared the 2009
country narrative on Burkina Faso, discussed points in the
non-paper, and explained that while the Government of Burkina
Faso does not yet fully comply with the minimum standards for
the elimination of trafficking; it is, according to the
report, making significant efforts to do so despite limited
resources.
2. Mr. Ouedraogo thanked us for the report and said he would
share its contents with his supervisor and ultimately the
Minister of Social Action. He opined that this would allow
the GOBF to see how its programs to combat TIP were perceived
from the "outside" and what additional communications efforts
they might have to engage in. Finally, he offered that the
USG recommendations for areas of improvement would be looked
at carefully.
