Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008170
This grant opportunity, titled "2021 TIP Office International Programs to Combat Child Trafficking in Benin," was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (often referred to as the TIP Office). It is a discretionary funding opportunity released as part of a new Child Protection Compact (CPC) Partnership focused specifically on Benin. In practical terms, the CPC framework is used to support coordinated, multi-year efforts that strengthen a country's ability to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and pursue accountability for traffickers. Here, the emphasis is on combating child trafficking in Benin through projects that align with that broader CPC agenda.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008170 and falls under CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) 19.019. The TIP Office categorized the activity area as "Other," signaling that the work may span multiple intervention types rather than fitting neatly into one narrow program bucket. The announcement date (Creation Date) was June 3, 2021, and the original application deadline (Original Closing Date) was August 2, 2021, giving applicants roughly two months to prepare and submit proposals.
In terms of funding scale, the notice lists an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000, indicating that the Department of State was prepared to consider proposals up to that maximum amount, depending on the program design, scope, and anticipated impact. The "Expected Awards" field is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically means the number of awards was not specified in the public-facing metadata (rather than implying no awards would be made). The funding instrument type is a grant, meaning selected recipients would receive financial assistance to carry out an agreed-upon program of work, subject to grant terms, reporting requirements, and oversight.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the solicitation pointing to additional eligibility details elsewhere in the full announcement. That phrasing usually indicates the competition may be open to a range of organizations beyond a single standard category, potentially including non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, or other qualified entities, depending on the specific eligibility language in the complete notice.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund programmatic interventions that directly address child trafficking in Benin under the CPC Partnership umbrella. While the short description provided here does not list specific required activities or outcomes, the core intent is clear: support projects that strengthen systems and services to reduce child trafficking, improve protection for children, and enhance the broader anti-trafficking response in Benin in coordination with the CPC Partnership goals.Apply for SFOP0008170
