The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement for funding of an activity entitled “Countering Trafficking in Persons and Support to Vulnerable Populations (CTIP/V) Activity.”
The purpose of the new Countering Trafficking in Persons and Support to Vulnerable Populations (CTIP/V) activity is to (1) prevent trafficking in persons (TIP) through a strengthened comprehensive, government-led counter trafficking response and (2) to ensure nationwide access to trauma-informed and survivor-centered recovery and reintegration services for victims of trafficking, exploitation, gender-based violence (GBV) (particularly intimate partner violence and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV)), and detention/torture.

Innovative TIP awareness and prevention measures tailored to the needs of vulnerable groups are developed and/or scaled up. Policies and programs demonstrated to be effective in preventing TIP are institutionalized by GoU.
Objective 2: Sustainability and availability of comprehensive, trauma-informed protection services increased to ensure seamless access for victims of trafficking and war-related trauma across Ukraine.GoU increasingly leads and directs implementation of the national referral mechanism (NRM) at all levels of government. Victims of trafficking, exploitation, GBV/CRSV, and detention/torture across Ukraine seamlessly access comprehensive, trauma-aware recovery and reintegration services.
Objective 3: Prosecution of those willfully engaged in TIP strengthened.Capacity to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate TIP cases enhanced, in coordination with INL and the Justice for All Program.TIP investigations, prosecutions and trials use trauma-informed, survivor-centered best practices.
