2023 Notification of Funding Opportunity – Formative Research on Child Trafficking in Nepal

The purpose of this funding call is to develop evidence regarding the local context on social, economic, and cultural realities for child trafficking victims in Nepal. Evidence should be derived from previous research, qualitative and quantitative methods, and generate a comprehensive understanding of child trafficking in Nepal with the ultimate goal to determine where to target resources, which interventions to deploy, and whether the interventions are culturally appropriate and responsive to the local context. Applicants should propose beginning with a literature review (Stage 1) prior to conducting a formative research study (Stage 2). It is expected that completion of this study will not exceed 30 months.

Organizations eligible to apply include U.S.-based and foreign non-profits, non-governmental organizations (including faith-based organizations), public international organizations (PIOs), institutions of higher education, and for-profit entities. For-profit organizations are not permitted to generate profits from grant-funded activities. U.S. government (USG) agencies may respond to this NOFO with applications for projects that would be funded through an Interagency Acquisition Agreement. While foreign governments are not eligible to apply, governments may be beneficiaries of projects provided that funding does not pay salaries of government agency personnel and that such assistance is not restricted by U.S. law or policy.
