💡 Tips for applicants
- Identify a committed government partner before drafting your proposal. The CPC must be jointly developed with the foreign government.
- Detail exactly how your project strengthens prosecution capacity, victim support systems, and prevention mechanisms in your partner country.
- For-profit applicants should carefully document compliance with FAR cost principles and prepare for additional scrutiny during review.
- Show evidence of the partner country's political commitment and existing anti-trafficking infrastructure you will build upon.
- Emphasize sustainability and local capacity-building over external service delivery by your organization.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Weak government partnership commitment. Many applications fail because the foreign government partner is not genuinely invested or lacks clear buy-in. Vague prevention strategies. Proposals often lack concrete, measurable approaches to preventing trafficking beyond awareness campaigns. Insufficient attention to victim care. Applicants focus heavily on prosecution but provide weak victim support and reintegration plans.
