Opportunity Summary:
Sustainable Interventions to Combat Trafficking in Persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina (SUSTAIN) is a USAID-funded, three-year cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Bosnia and Herzegovina's ability to prevent and respond to trafficking in persons. The central goal is to advance U.S. Government anti-trafficking priorities in the country by helping Bosnia and Herzegovina maintain its Tier 2 standing in the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) rankings and, if feasible, move toward Tier 1. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to build stronger government capacity and improve implementation of the national framework that Bosnia and Herzegovina uses to address trafficking.
The program is organized around prevention and protection, with three core intervention areas. First, it aims to insert trafficking prevention education into schools, indicating an emphasis on early awareness, risk reduction, and building long-term resilience among youth and communities through formal education systems. Second, it supports victim assistance, which typically involves improving access to services for trafficking survivors and strengthening the systems that identify, refer, and protect victims, including coordination with service providers. Third, it supports implementation of the National Anti-Trafficking Plan of Action, meaning the awardee would help relevant institutions translate the national plan into measurable activities, coordination mechanisms, and operational improvements. A key theme across the announcement is sustainability: wherever possible, activities are expected to be self-sustaining by design, suggesting an emphasis on institutionalization, local ownership, and durable systems rather than short-term, stand-alone projects.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 168-08-09) is offered under a cooperative agreement, which usually means the funder expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. USAID anticipates making one award, with total estimated funding of $855,000. The stated award ceiling and floor are both $855,000, signaling that the agency expects a single, full-sized award at that amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 98.001, listed as USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Cost sharing or matching is not required, and eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a broad range of applicants unless further limited by details in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted on April 15, 2008, with an application closing date of May 27, 2008. The sponsoring office is listed as USAID Budapest (Agency Name: Hungary USAID Budapest). For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed contact is Ashraf Soos, Contracting Specialist, with the email support@grants.gov and phone 06304754698.
