With the signing of this CPC Partnership, the TIP Office, working with Congress intends to provide up to million in U. S. foreign assistance which will be awarded to nongovernmental and/or international organizations who will collaborate with relevant Ivoirian federal government ministries and the TIP Office to implement the action plan that has been developed to achieve the objectives of the CPC Partnership. These objectives include ensuring prevention efforts are much better coordinated and targeted across the country; providing protection services which are readily accessible to child trafficking victims using a trauma-informed and victim-centered approach; making sure justice sector actors use existing trafficking-specific legal frameworks to identify child trafficking sufferers, investigate cases, and prosecute and convict perpetrators of child trafficking in a child-friendly, victim-centered, and trauma-informed manner; and promoting coordination across relevant ministries, civil society, local communities, and foreign counterparts.
The TIP Office may select implementing partners through a competitive solicitation process. The Notice of Funding Opportunity will be posted around the TIP Office’s website:
