Opportunity Summary:
The COMBATING TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS (CTIP) grant opportunity is a USAID Nepal (Kathmandu) funding announcement aimed at reducing trafficking in persons (TIP) in Nepal while strengthening protection and rights for trafficking survivors. The program is designed to build directly on what has already been learned from earlier and ongoing anti-trafficking efforts in Nepal, including work led by civil society organizations, the Government of Nepal (GON), and prior programs funded by the United States Government (USG). A central theme is adapting to the changing nature of trafficking in Nepal and improving how government and non-government actors coordinate their responses so that survivors receive consistent, rights-respecting support and the overall incidence of trafficking declines.
The opportunity emphasizes stronger collaboration between civil society organizations (CSOs) and the GON, particularly around establishing and institutionalizing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) within the anti-trafficking sector. In practical terms, this points to a focus on clearer, standardized processes for identification of victims, referral and service coordination, case management, and inter-agency cooperation. By promoting shared SOPs, the program is meant to reduce gaps and inconsistencies that can leave survivors without adequate protection, and to support a more reliable and accountable national response to trafficking.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, indicating that USAID expects substantial involvement in the implementation and oversight of activities rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed under Law, Justice, and Legal Services, which signals that proposed interventions likely connect to justice-sector coordination, legal protections, survivor rights, and systems that support enforcement and prevention. USAID anticipated a single award under this announcement, with total estimated funding of $6,800,000. Notably, the award ceiling and floor are both $6,800,000, suggesting USAID intended to fund one project at the full stated amount rather than multiple smaller awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional limitations that may have appeared in the full announcement. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 28, 2009, with an original closing date of February 15, 2010, later updated to February 19, 2010. The archive date is March 21, 2010, indicating this is an older, closed funding opportunity rather than an active solicitation. The funding opportunity number is RFA 367 10 000002, and the CFDA number is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the standard assistance listing tied to many USAID overseas programs.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Ram Gurung, Acquisition Specialist at USAID Nepal, reachable by phone at +977 1 4007200 ext 4339. Overall, CTIP was structured as a large, single-award USAID investment intended to strengthen Nepal’s anti-trafficking ecosystem by combining prevention and survivor protection priorities with improved coordination and standardized operational practices across government and civil society.
