Description
This grant opportunity invites applications for projects designed to combat all forms of child trafficking through the establishment of a Child Protection Compact (CPC) between the United States and a recipient country. The CPC is a multi-year, jointly developed plan aimed at building capacity to prosecute child traffickers, provide comprehensive care and support for child victims, and prevent child trafficking in all its forms. Projects must demonstrate collaboration with local governments and civil society, and are expected to align with U.S. foreign policy priorities and recommendations in the annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report.
