Opportunity Information: Apply for ND NOFO 20 102
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to India, offered a discretionary grant opportunity called "Combatting Trafficking in North India" (Funding Opportunity Number: ND NOFO 20 102). The program focuses on strengthening the ability of law enforcement and related institutions in North India to recognize, investigate, and properly document human trafficking cases. The work is specifically targeted to one of two states: Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh, with an emphasis not just on frontline police, but also on the training ecosystem that shapes policing practice, including training centers, police academies, and cyber cells.
At its core, the grant is designed to build practical capacity and applied knowledge. The funded project is expected to develop and deliver structured workshops or trainings for law enforcement agencies and training institutions in the selected state. These trainings are meant to improve officials' ability to spot indicators of trafficking, respond appropriately when trafficking is suspected, conduct effective investigations, and ensure cases are reported and recorded correctly. The intent is to strengthen the full chain of response, from early identification through investigation and case reporting, rather than focusing on awareness alone.
A key component of the opportunity is addressing technology-enabled trafficking. The announcement calls for sharing U.S. best practices with Indian law enforcement by bringing in a U.S. expert to speak or train on how trafficking is facilitated through technology-based platforms. The examples named include Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media, reflecting a focus on online recruitment, coordination, advertisement, and exploitation patterns that can complicate detection and enforcement. This element signals that the project should incorporate practical strategies for cyber-enabled investigation and prevention, particularly relevant for cyber cells and units working on digital evidence and online exploitation networks.
The opportunity also includes an adaptation-and-distribution deliverable tied to an existing resource. Applicants are expected to adopt and translate a handbook previously developed by CRS and the Indian NGO Prajwala. That handbook is already in use in several Indian states (Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Jharkhand), and the grant aims to tailor it for the Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh context and distribute it to law enforcement agencies. This implies the project should not start from scratch in terms of guidance materials; instead, it should leverage a proven tool, localize it linguistically and contextually, and put it directly into the hands of practitioners who can use it in day-to-day casework and training.
From an administrative standpoint, the award was structured as a single expected grant, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an anticipated total of one award. The funding activity category is listed as Education (CFDA 19.040), aligning with the training and capacity-building orientation of the project. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable under that category). The opportunity was posted on March 27, 2020, with an original closing date of May 26, 2020.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a focused, practitioner-oriented anti-trafficking capacity-building project in either Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh, combining in-person or structured training delivery, specialized input on tech-facilitated trafficking and social media-enabled exploitation, and the localization and dissemination of an established operational handbook to support consistent identification, investigation, and reporting practices across law enforcement and training institutions.Apply for ND NOFO 20 102
