Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0003608
The FY17/18 Labor Anti-slavery NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0003608) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State through the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It was posted on December 13, 2017, with an original application deadline of January 12, 2018. The program uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means awardees should expect more substantial involvement, coordination, or oversight from the U.S. government than in a standard grant, such as collaboration on implementation, monitoring, or strategic alignment during the life of the project.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support projects in West Africa that combat slavery and help former slaves reintegrate into society. In practice, this kind of scope typically covers efforts that prevent and reduce slavery and slavery-like practices, identify and support people affected by these abuses, and strengthen community or institutional responses so that exploitation is less likely to recur. The reintegration emphasis signals that proposals are expected to go beyond immediate rescue or short-term assistance and address longer-term recovery and social inclusion, such as helping survivors safely return to their communities or resettle elsewhere, regain access to education and livelihoods, obtain civil documentation, and reduce stigma and discrimination that can block reintegration.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the opportunity is 19.345. The stated award ceiling is $1,000,000, indicating that DRL anticipated funding projects up to that maximum amount, depending on the quality of proposals and available funds. The opportunity record lists expected awards as 0, which can appear in federal listings for a variety of administrative reasons (for example, when the precise number of awards is not predetermined at posting time or is dependent on appropriations and application quality), rather than serving as a definitive statement that no awards will be made.
Overall, this notice is aimed at supporting applied, on-the-ground programming in West Africa that targets both sides of the problem: reducing the incidence of slavery and improving the prospects of people who have already experienced it. Applicants would be expected to propose a coherent project approach consistent with DRL human rights programming priorities, demonstrate capacity to operate in the region, and show how their activities would produce measurable improvements in protection, recovery, and durable reintegration outcomes for affected individuals and communities.Apply for SFOP0003608
