Child Protection Compact Annual Program Statement

The U.S. Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons is seeking applications for projects under a potential Child Protection Compact with a foreign government, aimed at comprehensively addressing all forms of child trafficking. This initiative focuses on building the recipient country’s capacity to prosecute and secure convictions of child traffickers, delivering holistic care and support services to child victims, and implementing prevention strategies to stop trafficking before it occurs. The program requires a multi-year, collaborative plan co-developed between the United States and the applicant country, emphasizing systemic reform, institutional strengthening, and survivor-centered approaches. Applications must be submitted in response to the Annual Program Statement with solicitation number DFOP0018775, which remains open indefinitely with a response deadline of January 1, 2099. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 928120 and is issued by the federal agency responsible for global anti-trafficking efforts. Proposals should align with the U.S. government’s broader goal of advancing child protection through international partnership, and all inquiries should be directed to the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons via the provided contact information. Performance of the project will occur in the proposing country, with no specific U.S. location required for execution.
