Opportunity Summary:
The "Armenia Specific Counter Human Trafficking Projects" opportunity is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), through its Yerevan program. It is focused on strengthening Armenia's ability to fight human trafficking in a practical, end-to-end way, not just by improving laws on paper but also by improving how government institutions and partners carry out prevention, prosecution, protection, and partnership activities. The description makes it clear that Armenia has already made meaningful progress, and this funding is meant to build on that momentum by targeting the remaining gaps that still limit overall effectiveness.
Programmatically, the grant is designed to help Armenia close shortcomings in counter-trafficking (TIP) legislation and related legal frameworks, while also supporting real-world implementation of the Armenian Government's National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking for 2013-2015. In addition, the funding is intended to align Armenian efforts with external assessments and recommendations, including those highlighted in the U.S. Department of State's Trafficking in Persons Report and findings from other international organizations working in Armenia on anti-trafficking evaluation and assistance. In other words, proposed projects would be expected to connect directly to identified needs and to reinforce national planning and internationally recognized best practices rather than operating as isolated, stand-alone initiatives.
From a funding and award structure perspective, the opportunity anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $240,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $25,000 and $80,000, with $80,000 listed as the award ceiling and $25,000 as the award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally reduces the financial barrier for organizations that may have strong technical capacity but limited ability to contribute cash or in-kind match.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, with the CFDA number 19.705 (Trans-National Crime). The opportunity was posted May 1, 2015, created April 29, 2015, and had an application closing date of July 1, 2015, with an archive date of July 31, 2015. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with further clarification in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity, meaning applicants would need to consult the eligibility section of the official announcement to confirm whether their organization type and status are permitted under the program rules.
