Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0009157
The U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) is soliciting proposals for projects focused on combating child trafficking in Nepal through a new Child Protection Compact (CPC) Partnership. This is a discretionary funding opportunity released under Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0009157, and awards will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the TIP Office expects to have substantial involvement in project implementation and oversight compared to a standard grant. The program is categorized under "Other" for funding activity, with CFDA number 19.019, and it was posted on March 15, 2024, with an application deadline of May 16, 2024.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support programming that reduces and prevents child trafficking in Nepal and strengthens systems that protect children. While the notice does not list specific program components in the excerpt provided, CPC Partnership programming typically centers on improving prevention, protection, and accountability measures, often by strengthening coordination among service providers, improving identification and referral of child victims, enhancing access to trauma-informed services, and supporting efforts that increase effective investigation and prosecution of trafficking offenses. Because this is explicitly tied to a CPC Partnership, applicants should expect the projects to align with jointly identified priority reforms and measurable outcomes connected to the compact framework.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign-based non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), for-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and public international organizations (PIOs). For-profit applicants are allowed to apply but may face additional review after the panel selection process, and importantly, the Department of State does not allow profit under its assistance awards, so even if a for-profit entity is selected, budgets must be structured accordingly (for example, covering allowable costs without adding a profit margin). Foreign governments are not eligible to apply as applicants, but government entities may benefit from the programming under certain conditions. Specifically, the funding generally cannot be used to pay salaries of government agency personnel, and any government-related assistance must also comply with U.S. laws and policy restrictions. The notice emphasizes that applicants should consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for complete eligibility requirements and conditions.
In terms of available funding, the listed award ceiling is $10,500,000. The opportunity record shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which often indicates that the number of awards was not specified in the summary data or would be determined based on the quality of applications and available funding rather than pre-committing to a set number. Applicants should therefore treat the ceiling as the maximum possible amount and design proposals that are cost-realistic, results-driven, and clearly aligned with the CPC Partnership objectives in Nepal.
Overall, this competition is aimed at organizations capable of delivering large-scale, coordinated anti-child-trafficking interventions in Nepal, with strong monitoring and evaluation, partnership-building, and an ability to work in a cooperative-agreement environment with close engagement from the TIP Office. For full details on required program elements, application formatting, budget rules, and selection criteria, the NOFO referenced in the announcement would be the controlling document.Apply for DFOP0009157
