Deadline- 31 January 2014
Proposals are accepted for USAID/Afghanistan’s Counter Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) awareness raising campaign. The main objective of this program is to develop new and innovative alliances with the private sector (including local and multinational corporations, foundations, NGOs, and academia) to support the programmatic goal of increased awareness throughout Afghan society and government, and possibly regional countries, of the crime of human trafficking.
Eligibility & Criteria-
USAID/Afghanistan is interested in partnerships that address the following considerations:-
- Capacity Building of Local Organizations- Does the alliance proposal present an opportunity to assist in the capacity building of local organizations? For example, will local media companies, NGOs, or universities build on an existing skills set through the implementation of the awareness raising campaign?
- Local Knowledge- Does the alliance partner(s) have a solid understanding of local Afghan customs and values and trafficking issues in Afghanistan and the region in order to successfully engage on complex topics such as sex and labor trafficking and the exploitation of women and children? If USAID requests a full technical application, applicants will be given additional, specific evaluation criteria that will be used in subsequent reviews of applications. Proposed alliances should be consistent with USAID legal and policy restrictions, including those set forth in USAID’s Automated Directive System (ADS), and in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
