Opportunity Summary:

The Armenia Specific Counter Human Trafficking grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 15CA0025 EAARMENIA 05012015) is a discretionary U.S. government funding program run by the Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), through the INL Yerevan Program. It supports projects designed to strengthen Armenia's ability to combat human trafficking by improving the country’s overall capacity across the standard anti-trafficking pillars: prevention, prosecution, protection, and partnership. The underlying premise is that Armenia has already made notable progress, and this funding is meant to push that progress further by helping institutions and stakeholders close remaining gaps and turn policy commitments into consistent practice.

Programmatically, the opportunity is aimed at addressing weaknesses in Armenia’s counter-trafficking (TIP) legal framework and related legislation, as well as improving implementation of Armenia’s National Action Plan to Combat Trafficking for 2013 to 2015. Projects are also expected to respond to external assessments and recommendations, especially those highlighted in the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report and by other international organizations involved in evaluating and supporting anti-trafficking work in Armenia. In practical terms, this points to activities that can enhance legal and institutional readiness, improve operational coordination among government and non-government actors, and strengthen victim-centered systems so prevention efforts, investigations, prosecutions, and victim services reinforce one another instead of operating in silos.

The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing is 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). INL anticipated making about three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $240,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $80,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, reducing the barrier for organizations that might not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute.

This opportunity was posted on May 1, 2015 (created April 30, 2015), with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2015, and it was scheduled to be archived on July 31, 2015. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referred to within the Notice of Funding Opportunity, meaning applicants would need to consult the eligibility section of the full announcement to confirm whether their organization type and status qualified.

For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lourdes Stein, Program Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-776-8774.
