Welcome to the first edition of the GIFT podcast! Knowledge Management will be a key area of work for the second phase of UN.GIFT. Over the last year, as the UN.GIFT Steering Committee worked developing the strategic plan that will pave the way for the next phase of UN.GIFT, the UN.GIFT Secretariat has been looking at more effective ways to expand knowledge creation and accessibility. Finally, with the help of our wonderful intern, Sophia Papadimos, we have released the pilot of the GIFT podcast. This first podcast is just a first step that we hope will bring us closer to all of those working to end modern-day slavery. The GIFT podcast aims to bring the global dialogue on human trafficking to the iTunes audience, the social media fans and all those interested on knowing the latest developments in the fight against human trafficking. Tune in for our podcast debut! Best, UN.GIFT.team The Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT) works to increase knowledge and awareness of human trafficking, build capacity of State and non-state actors; and foster partnerships for joint action against human trafficking. Launched in 2007, UN.GIFT is a global inter-agency initiative made up of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). UN.GIFT supports all stakeholders in the fight against human trafficking through effective knowledge management and joint programme development support. The initiative's award winning virtual knowledge hub, the UN.GIFT.HUB, provides a platform for global dialogue at www.ungift.org
