The overall objective is to strengthen the capacities of Tanzania Law Enforcement Agencies to better address challenges related to trafficking in persons, and child sexual exploitation and abuse, particularly the international dimensions – which includes online offences. The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) collate all worldwide reports of online child abuse, which includes livestreaming of child abuse, sextortion type offences and the sharing of Child Sexual Abuse material (CSAM). NCMEC attempt to identify which country each of these incidents originated in. They then disseminate secure intelligence packages to the relevant law enforcement authority in that country (usually through the countries Interpol terminal). Tanzania currently has 8385 such reports per year (2022 figures). Tanzania Police Force have requested that NCMEC do not forward these reports at this stage, as they do not have the ability to deal with them.
