SEC. 204. EXPANDING PREVENTION EFFORTS AT THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR 
              INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

    In order to increase the prevention efforts by the United States 
abroad, the Administrator of the United States Agency for International 
Development shall encourage integration of activities to counter 
trafficking in persons (C-TIP) into broader assistance programming. The 
Administrator shall--
            (1) determine a reasonable definition for the term ``C-TIP 
        Integrated Development Programs'', which shall at a minimum 
        include any programming to address health, economic 
        development, education, democracy and governance, food security 
        and humanitarian assistance that the Administrator determines 
        includes a sufficient counter-trafficking in persons element 
        integrated in the program design or delivery;
            (2) encourage that any program design or delivery that may 
        directly serve victims and survivors of trafficking in persons 
        is age-appropriate, linguistically accessible, culturally 
        responsive, and survivor- and trauma-informed, and provides 
        opportunities for anonymous and voluntary feedback from the 
        beneficiaries receiving such services;
            (3) encourage that each USAID mission integrates a counter-
        trafficking in persons perspective and specific approaches into 
        development programs, project design, and methods for program 
        monitoring and evaluation, when addressing a range of 
        development issues, including--
                    (A) health;
                    (B) economic development;
                    (C) education;
                    (D) democracy and governance;
                    (E) food security; and
                    (F) humanitarian assistance;
            (4) implement robust training and disseminate tools around 
        the integration of a counter-trafficking perspective and 
        awareness in the day-to-day work of development professionals; 
        and
            (5) encourage subsequent Country Development Cooperation 
        Strategies include a counter-trafficking in persons analytic 
        component to guide future project design and promote the 
        inclusion of counter-trafficking elements in project design, 
        implementation, monitoring, and evaluation required for Tier 2 
        Watch List and Tier 3 countries (as such terms are defined for 
        purposes of section 110 of the Trafficking Victims Protection
