Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons

The Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons is a civilian sub-agency within the State Department charged with coordinating U.S. policy, funding, and diplomatic engagement on human trafficking. The Office leads the Trafficking in Persons Report, the global benchmark assessment of anti-trafficking efforts, and administers grants and cooperative agreements supporting direct victim services, law enforcement capacity-building, and prevention programs in partner countries and domestically.

No recent federal contract awards are recorded against the Office or its descendant components. No recent federal grant awards are recorded against the Office or its descendant components. No recent federal contract opportunities are posted under the Office. No recent federal grant opportunities are posted under the Office.

The Office's core mission encompasses diplomatic engagement with foreign governments on trafficking prevention and prosecution, publication of the annual Trafficking in Persons Report that benchmarks country performance against U.S. policy standards, and administration of grant and cooperative-agreement funding streams. Historically, the Office has funded anti-trafficking nongovernmental organizations, law enforcement training initiatives, and victim-service providers both internationally and domestically; however, no awards from the current fiscal year or trailing activity window are surfaced in the current portfolio rollup. Business development professionals evaluating activity at this Office should confirm current funding cycles, appropriations status, and grant-notice publication schedules directly with the Office, as the absence of recent award and opportunity records may reflect timing within the federal fiscal calendar, clearance cycles, or portfolio reporting lag rather than suspended activity.
