Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049221RFA00005
Pacific RISE-CTIP (Pacific Regional Initiative and Support for More Effective Counter Trafficking in Persons) is a USAID-funded grant opportunity focused on addressing both domestic and cross-border trafficking in persons challenges affecting Pacific Island countries. The program is designed to reduce trafficking by tackling the conditions that increase vulnerability, strengthening prevention systems, improving protection and support services for survivors, and expanding access to legal assistance and remedies. Rather than focusing on just one part of the problem, the opportunity emphasizes a holistic, multi-sector approach that connects government, civil society, service providers, and other key stakeholders in order to create more durable and coordinated anti-trafficking responses across the region.
The activity is grounded in the U.S. Government counter-trafficking framework, specifically the four pillars of prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnerships. In practice, this means applicants are expected to propose work that helps stop trafficking before it happens (prevention), improves identification and care for victims and survivor-centered services (protection), strengthens legal and justice responses and accountability measures (prosecution), and builds collaboration among institutions and across borders (partnerships). The opportunity also aligns with the USAID Trafficking in Persons Policy and draws on recommendations for Pacific Island countries outlined in the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons reporting, signaling that proposals should reflect recognized gaps and priority needs documented for the region.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary award funded through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement and ongoing collaboration with USAID during implementation compared to a standard grant. It is issued by USAID (Agency: USAID-Manila, Philippines), and eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicants may apply (subject to the full solicitation terms and standard U.S. government eligibility and compliance requirements). The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 72049221RFA00005 under CFDA 98.001, with an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000. The posting was created on April 19, 2021, and the original closing date for submissions was May 24, 2021.
Overall, Pacific RISE-CTIP is positioned as a large, regionally focused anti-trafficking initiative aimed at reducing trafficking risks and incidence while improving systems that prevent exploitation, protect survivors, and enable effective legal action. The solicitation’s emphasis on a multi-sector strategy suggests that strong applications would likely demonstrate coordinated programming across multiple institutions and service areas, while clearly linking activities to measurable improvements across the prevention-protection-prosecution-partnerships framework in Pacific Island contexts.Apply for 72049221RFA00005
