Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 674 23 2023
This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by USAID/Southern Africa (USAID-Pretoria) to gather ideas, comments, and practical suggestions that can inform the anticipated design of a future regional program called "Regional Countering Trafficking in Persons (C-TIP) for Southern Africa." An RFI is not a funding competition and does not represent a commitment to make awards; instead, it is an early market and stakeholder sounding process where USAID collects input from organizations, experts, and other interested parties to help shape a stronger, more relevant activity before any formal solicitation is released.
USAID is considering a regional approach that combines interventions at both country level and across borders, reflecting how trafficking in persons often operates through regional routes, networks, and shared risk factors. The aim is to develop more innovative and effective ways to support governments in Southern Africa to prevent trafficking, identify and protect victims, and respond through policy, enforcement, and coordinated services. The agency is explicitly seeking information that can strengthen the activity design, including what has worked, what has not worked, and what gaps remain in current counter-trafficking efforts.
The geographic scope is the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, defined here as: Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. By framing it this way, USAID is signaling that the prospective activity may address cross-border and regional coordination challenges such as movement of people across multiple countries, differences in national legal frameworks and capacity, and the need for shared protocols and collaboration among governments and stakeholders throughout SADC.
From the opportunity metadata, the funding opportunity title is "Request for Information for the Regional Countering Trafficking in Persons Activity for Southern Africa" and the opportunity number is RFI 674 23 2023. It is categorized as discretionary, with the funding instrument type listed as "Other" and the funding activity category also listed as "Other." The CFDA/Assistance Listing number provided is 98.001. Eligible applicants are listed as "Unrestricted," which is typical for an RFI because the agency is not yet limiting participation; it is inviting input broadly from any capable party, including NGOs, international organizations, private firms, academic institutions, networks, and subject-matter experts.
Administrative details included in the posting indicate the notice was created on 2023-03-28 and had an original closing date of 2023-04-21. The award ceiling is shown as 0 and the expected number of awards is blank, which reinforces that this is not a grant or contract solicitation and no award is being offered under this notice. Overall, the document is best understood as USAID/Southern Africa opening the door for stakeholders to help shape a forthcoming regional counter-trafficking initiative by sharing evidence, lessons learned, and recommendations for impactful in-country and regional interventions across the SADC region.Apply for RFI 674 23 2023
