Opportunity Summary:

The Counter Trafficking in Persons Program is a USAID funding opportunity issued by the USAID regional platform in Bangkok (listed as Thailand USAID Bangkok) for work connected to Cambodia. It is offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient will carry out program activities with substantial involvement and collaboration from USAID during implementation. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is intended to support efforts that address trafficking in persons, consistent with USAID foreign assistance objectives.

The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number USAID CAMBODIA 442 11 002 RFA and was posted on June 7, 2011, with a creation date of June 29, 2011. The application deadline is July 22, 2011 at 4:00 pm local Phnom Penh, Cambodia time (the same deadline is listed as both the original and current closing date). USAID anticipates making one award under this solicitation, suggesting the program is structured as a single, larger implementation mechanism rather than multiple smaller grants.

Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $5,400,000, which is also the listed award ceiling. The minimum award size (award floor) is $1, meaning the formal range is broad, but the ceiling and the single expected award imply the intended award size is likely close to the total estimate. The opportunity requires cost sharing or matching, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall program budget, consistent with the specific requirements described in the full announcement.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants must follow any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full solicitation under the section titled Additional Information on Eligibility. The CFDA number listed is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is the standard assistance listing used for many USAID-funded overseas programs.

A key point of this notice is that it is an amendment focused on a mandatory policy provision. USAID is notifying offerors that the provision titled Prohibition on the Use of Federal Funds to Promote, Support, or Advocate the Legalization or Practice of Prostitution must be included in the resulting Cooperative Agreement, as applicable. In practical terms, this means the award will incorporate a condition restricting how U.S. government funds may be used in relation to activities that promote, support, or advocate for the legalization or practice of prostitution. Applicants should factor this restriction into program design, communications, partnerships, and any advocacy-related components to ensure alignment with award terms and to avoid proposing activities that could be considered inconsistent with the prohibition.

For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed contact is Praveena ViraSingh, Procurement Specialist / Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 6622573000.
