##   Combating Child Trafficking in Jamaica

03/28/2018

//

Notice of Intent: Combating Child Trafficking in Jamaica NOTE: This is a Notice of Intent. An announcement is not related to this notice. The U.S. State Department’ s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) is not accepting applications at this time. Any commercial, international, educational, or non-profit organization(s), including any faith-based, community-based, or public international organization(s) capable of successfully working with government and civil society to address child trafficking in Jamaica are eligible to apply if and when a Notice of Funding Opportunity is published. Lack of past experience with U.S. Department of State cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts does not bar eligibility. All applicants for TIP Office funding opportunities must have a valid Unique Entity Identifier (formerly the Data Universal Numbering System or DUNS). Although not required for submission of an application via SAMS Domestic on https://mygrants.service-now.com/grants, a valid UEI number is required for organizations selected for an award. Organizations should verify their UEI number or take the steps needed to obtain one as soon as possible. Instructions for obtaining a UEI number can be found at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform. Selected grantees will also be required to have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) found at https://www.sam.gov/. Although registration is not required prior to submitting an application via SAMS Domestic, all applicants should register at SAM.gov as soon as possible to avoid future delays. Successful applicants will be required to ensure any sub-recipients also have a valid UEI number prior to receiving TIP Office approval of any sub-awards. Subject to the availability of funds and to the successful conclusion of a U.S.-Jamaica Child Protection Compact Partnership, the TIP Office intends to award, through a competitive process, one or more cooperative agreements to organizations to implement a project in Jamaica. The objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the Jamaican government and civil society to address all forms of child trafficking in Jamaica effectively and thereby strengthen existing efforts to eradicate these crimes. The project will support the objectives and activities of the U.S-Jamaica CPC Partnership, which will be provided in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. Existing projects in support of CPC Partnerships in other countries have included the following activities: strengthen efforts to effectively prosecute and convict child traffickers; provide comprehensive, trauma-informed care for child victims of these crimes; and prevent child trafficking in all its forms. Projects have also supported outcomes in line with the recommendations of the country narrative of the most recent Trafficking in Persons Report, as they relate to child trafficking. Information about existing CPC Partnerships, including the CPC Partnership documents in their entirety, is available on our website: https://www.state.gov/j/tip/cpc/. Background: A CPC Partnership is a multi-year plan, developed jointly by the United States and a particular country that documents the commitment of the two governments to achieve shared objectives aimed at strengthening efforts to effectively prosecute and convict child traffickers; provide comprehensive, trauma-informed care for child victims of these crimes; and prevent child trafficking in all its forms. The United States has signed CPC Partnerships with the governments of Ghana, the Philippines, and Peru. Such partnerships may include up to $5 million in foreign assistance supporting projects tailored to address the child trafficking situation in the particular country. During the course of negotiating a CPC Partnership, the unique context of the trafficking situation in the country is examined and strategies for addressing child trafficking are discussed in order to reach a shared commitment on partnership objectives and activities. Currently the TIP Office is in discussions with the Government of Jamaica to establish a fourth CPC Partnership – the first in the Caribbean. If successfully concluded, this Partnership will be a jointly developed and jointly implemented multi-year plan intended to strengthen the capacity of the Jamaican government and civil society to address all forms of child trafficking in Jamaica effectively, thereby strengthening existing efforts to eradicate these crimes. It is anticipated that this Partnership would include up to $4.5 million in U.S. government funding to civil society and/or international organizations to collaborate and cooperate with relevant Jamaican government agencies and other stakeholders in support of the objectives and activities of the Partnership. The TIP Office anticipates that a Notification of Funding Opportunity will be released within the next few months.

Background: On March 11, 2021, the President signed the ARP into law (Pub. L. 117-2). This law makes available approximately $39.6 billion for IHEs under HEERF, with funding appropriated through existing programs previously authorized under the CRRSAA. With this notice, the Secretary is announcing the availability of HEERF grant funds under the ARP (a)(2) SIP program (ALN 84.425M). Eligible institutions are institutions of higher education, as defined in sections 101 and 102(c) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), 20 U.S.C. 1001 and 1002(c). Allocations for these eligible IHEs will be calculated according to the formulas in ARP section 2003(2) and CRRSAA section 314(a)(2). Under ARP section 2003, grant awards under this program may be used to (1) defray expenses associated with the coronavirus, including lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred, technology costs associated with transitioning to distance education, faculty and staff training, and payroll; and (2) provide financial aid grants to students (including students exclusively enrolled in distance education), which may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or emergency costs due to the coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care, mental health care, or child care. In making financial aid grants to students, an institution must prioritize grants to students with exceptional need, such as Pell recipient students. IHEs are urged to make financial aid grants to students to the maximum extent possible. Additionally, under ARP section 2003(5), IHEs must use a portion of their funds under ALN 84.425M to (1) implement evidence-based practices to monitor and suppress coronavirus in accordance with the public health guidelines; and (2) conduct direct outreach to financial aid applicants about the opportunity to receive a financial aid adjustment due to recent unemployment status or other changes in financial circumstances as described in section 479A of the HEA (20 U.S.C. 1087tt). The Department will award supplemental funds to eligible IHEs that received a section 314(a)(2) award under the CRRSAA, ALN 84.425M (identified by a Grant Award beginning with P425Mxx). No action is required by eligible institutions to receive these supplemental awards. The project director identified on the most current Grant Award Notification (GAN) will automatically receive an email indicating a supplemental award has been made to your institution. Please note that drawing down any amount of these supplemental funds constitutes an institution’s acceptance of the new ARP terms and conditions and a new Supplemental Agreement, which are attached to this notice for reference. IHEs that have not yet complied with the reporting requirements of the HEERF may receive delayed supplemental ARP (a)(2) awards and/or may receive awards with a restriction on the ability to drawdown those awarded funds (route payment status) until the institution has satisfied its HEERF reporting obligations. IHEs that did not receive a CRRSAA section 314(a)(2) award but are on the Department’s section 2003(2) ARP SIP Allocation Table may apply for and receive an ARP (a)(2) SIP grant award. The Department must receive applications from such institutions within 60 days of the publication of this notice. Assistance Listing Number 84.425M.

Under the EAST-FN Program, the following activities are required: 1) provision of primary and preventative healthcare to adults and minor foreign national individuals who have experienced human trafficking; 2) training and capacity building to healthcare provider staff within the healthcare facility on effective identification, screening, assessment, trauma-informed medical service delivery, and referral strategies; 3) provision of comprehensive culturally and linguistically responsive case management delivered healthcare onsite or via a referral partner; 4) development and implementation of a human trafficking referral protocol to identify and respond to foreign national individuals; and 5) awareness raising efforts to promote the services and assistance available to foreign national individuals who have experienced human trafficking. Applicants that do not provide onsite primary and preventative healthcare services may partner with a healthcare facility that does in order to achieve the program’s objectives. The EAST-FN Program is informed by a whole family approach that focuses equally and intentionally on services and opportunities for clients and their immediate family members living within their households. OTIP is encouraging the establishment of community partnerships, meaningful engagement of individuals with lived experience, and the hiring of qualified professionals that reflect the communities being served in all project implementation strategies under the EAST-FN Program. Under the EAST-FN Program, there is a 12-month project implementation period for the prime recipient to facilitate optional partnerships, on-board new staff, develop a human trafficking referral protocol specific to the healthcare facility, and develop a sustainability plan. However, clients must be served during the 12-month project implementation period. For the purposes of this program, healthcare facilities are defined as places where healthcare services are rendered by licensed healthcare providers in acute care hospitals, urgent care centers, community healthcare clinics, and urgent care centers.
