Drafters should consult with government attorneys experienced in drafting legislation to determine how best to incorporate a request for appropriations to fund anti-trafficking efforts into the law. The procedures for this request will vary from country to county. At a minimum, funding should be appropriated to carry out the purposes of the legislation:  Protection, Prosecution, Prevention and Partnerships. An example of model language is contained in the State Model Law on Protection for Victims of Human Trafficking, Division G, 2005.

A number of countries have appropriated funds to anti-trafficking efforts. Sweden dedicated $26 million to prevention, protection for victims, training, and screening mechanisms. (See: U.S. State Department 2009 Trafficking in Persons Report, 270, 2009) The government of Spain funded its four-year national action plan in the amount of $57 million.
