Opportunity Summary:
The International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons in Sub Saharan Africa grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AT ATC 14 008) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, under CFDA 19.019 (International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking). The program is designed to strengthen the ability of governments across sub Saharan Africa to prevent and respond to trafficking in persons by providing targeted technical assistance that improves laws, criminal justice responses, coordination structures, and victim protection systems. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects substantial involvement in the project’s direction and implementation compared to a standard grant.
The core purpose of the opportunity is capacity building for government anti trafficking work, with assistance focused in three main areas. First is legislative assistance, which can include helping governments draft, revise, or implement anti trafficking legislation and related regulations in ways that align with international standards and practical enforcement needs. Second is victim centered criminal justice training and the development or strengthening of task forces, emphasizing approaches that support victim safety and rights while improving investigative and prosecutorial effectiveness. Third is victim protection, which covers strengthening systems that identify victims, provide services, and connect survivors to longer term protection and support. The solicitation makes clear that technical assistance can be delivered through multiple methods, including training programs, legislative workshops, and mentoring, and it also leaves room for other capacity building approaches consistent with those goals.
Funding amounts are substantial, with an award floor of $650,000 and an award ceiling of $3,000,000 per award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants. The opportunity was posted on July 22, 2014, with an application closing date of August 21, 2014, and it was later archived on September 20, 2014. While those dates reflect the original competition timeline, the structure and requirements described in the announcement illustrate what the Department of State was seeking for that cycle: multi country or country focused initiatives that can show measurable improvements in government capacity to combat trafficking.
Eligibility is broad in terms of entity type but specific in terms of operational capability and presence. U.S. based and foreign non profit organizations, for profit organizations, NGOs, public international organizations, and institutions of higher education may apply, with the important limitation that for profit organizations may not generate profit from grant funded activities. Applicants must have a physical presence in sub Saharan Africa and must demonstrate an ability to work with governments, since the primary beneficiaries are government institutions and national or local systems. In addition, the announcement signals expectations about partnership and buy in: successful applicants will be expected to secure government commitments to contribute to the project and to allocate a portion of grant funding to civil society partners in the region, reinforcing a model where government reform is paired with engagement from local organizations working directly with affected communities.
For access issues or submission platform support, the announcement directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1 800 518 4726; support@grants.gov), which operates continuously except on federal holidays.
