Opportunity Summary:
The Counter Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) opportunity was a USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA) funding notice designed to support efforts to prevent and respond to human trafficking across Asia. Issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development through its Thailand-based USAID-Bangkok office, the solicitation reflects USAID's intent to fund programming that strengthens counter-trafficking systems and initiatives in the region. The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number SOL 486 16 000022 and was categorized as a discretionary award, meaning funding would be awarded competitively based on the merits of the applications and alignment with USAID objectives.
The funding instrument was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a partnership style award where the U.S. government expects substantial involvement during implementation. In practice, that kind of involvement can include ongoing technical collaboration, shared planning, approvals for certain activities, or coordination on monitoring and learning. The activity category was listed as "Other," with additional clarification referenced in the original notice, and the opportunity was associated with CFDA number 98.001, a common identifier used for USAID foreign assistance programs.
USAID/RDMA stated an intention to make one "Leader with Associates" award. In USAID terms, this structure generally means a central (Leader) award that sets the overall framework and technical approach, with the ability to fund additional, related country or regional activities (Associates) under that same umbrella as needs and funding become available. This structure is often used for regional initiatives where programs may be rolled out or expanded across multiple countries over time without issuing entirely new standalone solicitations for each location.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility instructions that would have been included in the full notice. This typically can encompass U.S. and non-U.S. non-profits, for-profits, universities, and other qualified organizations, depending on the specific requirements in the solicitation. The original posting date was August 16, 2016, and the original closing date for submissions was September 26, 2016, setting a roughly six-week window for applications.
Financially, the notice listed an award ceiling of $125,000,000. This ceiling represents the maximum potential amount available under the opportunity, not necessarily the guaranteed amount to any single implementer at the outset, and it can reflect the anticipated scale of a regional framework that might support multiple associate awards or phased programming over several years. The notice also referenced an expectation of 20 awards, which can suggest that while the mechanism was framed around a Leader with Associates approach, USAID anticipated multiple awards or multiple funded components; the exact interpretation would normally be clarified in the full solicitation details and anticipated award structure.
Overall, CTIP was positioned as a large-scale, regionally focused USAID effort intended to counter human trafficking in Asia through a cooperative partnership with implementing organizations, using a flexible Leader-with-Associates model to support programming that could be adapted and extended across countries and contexts within the region.
