Opportunity Information: Apply for 72062424APS00001
USAID, through its West Africa Regional Peace and Governance Office (RPGO) based in Accra, is soliciting applications under an Annual Program Statement (APS) to support work that prevents, reduces, and/or responds to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and trafficking in persons (TIP) across West Africa and Cameroon. The opportunity is framed as a human rights and development priority, reflecting the U.S. Government view that addressing SGBV is central to justice, equity, and equality, and that tackling TIP is an urgent humanitarian and development challenge affecting millions globally. The APS is meant to identify practical, partner-led interventions that can make a measurable difference in these two areas, recognizing that SGBV and TIP are persistent and interconnected challenges in many contexts, including fragile and conflict-affected environments.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on partnering with African organizations that already have experience working in West Africa or Cameroon on SGBV and/or TIP. While the APS is posted publicly to ensure a fair and open process, eligibility is restricted to local African entities. Eligible applicants include registered African private non-governmental organizations and registered African non-profit organizations with relevant regional experience, as well as African for-profit organizations that are willing to forego profit. In practice, this eligibility approach is designed to channel resources to locally rooted organizations with contextual knowledge, established community relationships, and sustained presence in the region.
In terms of how funding will be awarded, USAID anticipates making multiple awards under this APS, with an expected total of about five awards. The stated award ceiling is USD 9,989,000, which indicates the maximum size of an individual award, not necessarily the total funding available across all awards. USAID plans to run one selection round over a one-year period, though it notes it may choose to open a second round if needed, which can happen when the agency wants additional competition, wants to fill programmatic gaps, or does not receive enough strong applications in the first round.
The opportunity is also grounded in U.S. policy and legal frameworks related to human trafficking. It references the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), which requires the U.S. Government to assess and respond to governments that are not making significant efforts to meet minimum standards for eliminating human trafficking. This context signals that proposals addressing TIP are likely to be evaluated not only on service delivery value, but also on their potential to strengthen systems, accountability, prevention, and coordination in ways that align with broader anti-trafficking commitments.
Administrative details from the notice include the funding opportunity title "Addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and Trafficking in Persons (TIP) in West Africa and Cameroon (SGBV-TIP)," funding opportunity number 72062424APS00001, and a closing date of January 31, 2025. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses an "Other" funding instrument type and activity category in the source record, with CFDA number 98.001, and the issuing agency identified as USAID Ghana (Accra).Apply for 72062424APS00001
