This is a Questions and Answers document for the Youth Coalitions for Drug Demand Reduction grant (OFOP0001671) dated December 10, 2024, administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement (INL).

The Q&A provides key clarifications about the grant requirements: communities must be distributed across Peru with at least 3 communities each in coastal, Andean, and Amazonian regions (Lima and Callao can be included but cannot be the only coastal communities); pre-established agreements with local authorities are beneficial but not mandatory; mental health services should follow evidence-based best practices for drug prevention and treatment; and proposals must include a sustainability plan for continuing coalition operations after the 36-month project period through partnerships with regional and local governments.

Questions and Answers for Youth Coalitions for Drug Demand Reduction

OFOP0001671

Date: December 10, 2024

Question 1:

Will it be possible to intervene in Metropolitan Lima and Callao as part of the selected locations for this project?

INL Response:

Lima and Callao could be considered but should not constitute all communities in the coastal region.

Question 2:

Regarding the locations to be intervened, could you clarify whether the 10 communities must be distributed equally between the coastal, Andean, and Amazonian regions, or if there is flexibility in their selection within those regions?

INL Response:

The youth coalition program should have representation across Peru. Proposals should aim to include at least three communities from each region.

Question 3:

Does the lead implementer need to have pre-established agreements with local or regional authorities, or will these relationships be developed during project implementation?

INL Response:

Pre-established collaboration agreements with local governments and civil society in selected regions is a significant plus, but not mandatory.

Question 4:

In relation to the integration of mental health services, are there specific approaches or best practices recommended for their implementation in communities, particularly those with high drug consumption and associated social issues?

INL Response:

Approaches to mental health services should promote evidence-based best practices in drug prevention and treatment program interventions.

Question 5:

Project sustainability: What are INL’s expectations regarding the sustainability of the coalitions after the 36-month project period? Is it expected that the coalitions will continue to operate without federal funding, or will local funding mechanisms be achieved through the partnerships?

INL Response:

The goal is to develop sustainable youth coalitions that work closely with regional and local governments. Per the NOFO, proposals should include a sustainability plan.
