Q and A II April 25.docx

This document provides questions and answers regarding a Notice of Funding Opportunity from the Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism. The Bureau seeks proposals to develop and implement comprehensive, counterterrorism-focused community policing strategies for law enforcement units in Sylhet, Chittagong, and Rajshahi regions of Bangladesh. Strategies should emphasize improving intelligence gathering, operating within a human rights framework, effectively engaging communities on terrorism awareness and prevention, enhancing law enforcement coordination and information sharing, increasing awareness of terrorist recruitment and modus operandi, and incorporating pre-trial monitoring of suspected terrorists. Applicants should describe how they will design and implement training, technical assistance, and mentoring to reinforce the strategies, including follow-on monitoring and evaluation of beneficiaries to assess application of knowledge gained. The Bureau will favor proposals utilizing train-the-trainer and adult learning approaches. Awards will be cooperative agreements under the Global Counterterrorism Programs CFDA number 19.701, administered by an unspecified federal agency.
