Opportunity Summary:

The Kosovo Anti Trafficking Program (KAP) is a USAID-supported initiative focused on keeping the number of trafficking victims in Kosovo low and, where possible, reducing it further. The opportunity is designed around two linked priorities: strengthening long-term reintegration services for survivors of trafficking and increasing the active involvement of community stakeholders in prevention. In practice, the program emphasizes that prevention and reintegration should not be treated as separate tracks. Instead, it aims to combine comprehensive survivor support with concrete, community-level prevention actions that reduce vulnerability among people most at risk.

A core feature of the program is its focus on long-term reintegration. This signals support that goes beyond immediate or emergency assistance and moves toward sustained services that help survivors rebuild stability and independence over time. The grant frames reintegration as a central strategy for reducing re-victimization and limiting future trafficking, suggesting activities that address the practical and social barriers survivors face when returning to their communities. The program also explicitly stresses the importance of strengthening how these services function over the long run, which typically involves building consistent referral pathways, improving service coordination, and ensuring community acceptance and support for survivors.

On the prevention side, KAP seeks to increase participation from community stakeholders, meaning local actors such as community leaders, civil society organizations, service providers, and other grassroots partners who can identify risk factors early and help mobilize protective responses. The opportunity highlights prevention activities that are concrete and targeted, aiming to reduce vulnerability rather than relying only on awareness messaging. It also points to tackling root causes of trafficking, which frames trafficking as not only a criminal justice issue but also a broader social and economic problem. This approach generally aligns with interventions that address the conditions that make individuals and communities susceptible, especially those experiencing marginalization, limited economic opportunity, weak social support systems, or other structural vulnerabilities.

The program is also intended to support the Government of Kosovo in implementing a future national action plan to combat trafficking in human beings. That indicates alignment with government priorities and coordination with public institutions, with the grant serving as a mechanism to reinforce national anti-trafficking systems rather than operating in isolation. In a cooperative agreement structure, this typically implies substantial engagement by the funding agency during implementation, often including collaboration on planning, monitoring, and strategic adjustments as the project progresses.

In terms of funding and administration, this opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number 167 08 006, titled "Kosovo Anti Trafficking Program (KAP)." It was categorized as "Other" with a specific explanation identifying it as an Anti Trafficking Program, and it uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $2,000,000, and both the award floor and ceiling set at exactly $2,000,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible budgets. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open broadly to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement.

The posting and timeline details show the opportunity was posted on February 29, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2008, and an archive date of May 14, 2008. The issuing office was USAID Budapest (Hungary). For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Riffat Sulaiman (Acquisition and Assistance Specialist), reachable by phone at 475 4281 or by email at support@usaid.gov.
