Opportunity Information: Apply for 72030623APS00001
The COUNTERING TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS (CTIP III) IN AFGHANISTAN opportunity is a USAID/Afghanistan funding addendum issued under the broader New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) Conflict-Prevention and Recovery Program Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA23APS00003. In practical terms, that means applicants are expected to use this addendum alongside the full NPI APS, because key rules, requirements, and application instructions that govern this competition are contained in the parent APS and are not repeated here. USAID is asking interested and eligible organizations to submit concept papers that propose innovative and sustainable ways to counter trafficking in persons (TIP) in Afghanistan by working in partnership with Afghan civil society organizations (CSOs) and strengthening their capacity.
CTIP III is designed around a flexible, adaptive implementation approach, recognizing that trafficking risks, access constraints, and protection needs can shift quickly in the Afghan context. The program’s central idea is to support local CSOs to deliver contextually appropriate services for people vulnerable to trafficking and for victims of trafficking, while also building the institutional strength of those CSOs so they can continue anti-trafficking work with greater effectiveness and improved access to resources over time. The activity emphasizes practical service delivery and local ownership rather than one-size-fits-all programming, and it encourages approaches that can adjust as conditions change.
The proposed focus areas cover the main stages of an anti-trafficking response. First is prevention, which includes raising public awareness and reducing vulnerability to trafficking through community-level engagement and messaging that helps people recognize trafficking risks and seek help. Second is victim protection, which includes protection-oriented support and counseling, with specific mention of psycho-social support services for Victims of Trafficking in Persons (VoTIP). Third is recovery support services, which extends beyond immediate protection to longer-term rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration assistance so survivors can stabilize and rebuild their lives. Fourth is empowering Afghan CSOs to combat TIP, which is aimed at strengthening local organizations’ capacity, systems, and resource access so they can identify cases, provide services, coordinate referrals, and sustain anti-trafficking efforts.
USAID lays out four specific objectives for CTIP III. The first is to increase TIP case identification and referral by improving public awareness, so that more trafficking cases are recognized and connected to appropriate support pathways. The second is to improve the provision of VoTIP protection and counseling/psycho-social services, strengthening the quality and availability of survivor-centered care. The third is to improve VoTIP rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration services, indicating a focus on longer-term outcomes and not just immediate crisis response. The fourth is to increase local CSOs’ capacity and access to resources to combat TIP, which points to organizational strengthening, partnership development, and improved ability to operate and fund services in challenging conditions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity from the Agency for International Development (USAID/Afghanistan, USAID-Kabul) with Funding Opportunity Number 72030623APS00001. The intended award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial USAID involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $8,250,000 and anticipates making one award. The CFDA/Assistance listing number associated with the opportunity is 98.001. The posting date is July 21, 2023, and the original closing date for submissions is August 25, 2023. Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,” with the expectation that applicants consult the parent NPI APS and the addendum’s eligibility clarification language to confirm who may apply and under what conditions.
Overall, CTIP III is a single, sizable cooperative agreement meant to support an integrated anti-trafficking package in Afghanistan that combines prevention, protection, and survivor recovery services with deliberate investment in Afghan CSOs as frontline providers and long-term leaders in counter-trafficking work.Apply for 72030623APS00001
