Description

The U.S. Mission to Guatemala is seeking a cooperative agreement for combatting human smuggling and gender-based violence (GBV) in the Government of Guatemala for the Secretariat Against Sexual Violence, Exploitation, and Trafficking in Persons (SVET). GBV in Guatemala has increased significantly during the pandemic, with vulnerable populations, including minors, being among the victims. SVET is responsible for coordinating prevention, security, justice, welfare, and attention to victims, as well as raising awareness of these crimes. The Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and the National Civil Police (PNC) are key stakeholders working with SVET, but there is a need for more active involvement from multiple institutions. The goal is to standardize and strengthen SVET's capabilities in addressing sexual crimes, exploitation, and trafficking in persons (TIP) by coordinating all Government of Guatemala (GoG) institutions and conducting awareness campaigns to combat sexual and GBV. The grant opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching and is open to various organizations, including U.S.-based non-profit/non-governmental organizations (NGOs), U.S.-based educational institutions, foreign-based non-profits/NGOs, and foreign-based educational institutions. The closing date for applications is May 17, 2024. For more information, visit the link.
