The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is soliciting applications for a $1,480,019 grant to counter terrorist financing flows in and through Tajikistan, with an application deadline of June 8, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time). One award is anticipated.

All applicants must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier and maintain active registration in SAM.gov. Cost sharing is optional unless specified in the application materials.
The project targets deficiencies identified by the Financial Action Task Force in Tajikistan's anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime, including terrorist financing investigations, domestic coordination capabilities, parallel financial investigations, financial data access, and trained financial investigators. Proposed activities must include technical assistance, tailored curriculum development, and case-based mentoring to strengthen Tajikistan's ability to investigate and prosecute terrorist financing cases in line with FATF standards, with particular focus on ISIS-K-related financing.
The primary place of performance is Tajikistan, though applicants may include regional training or events outside the country if the bulk of activities occur in-country. The grant period is 24 months or less, with an anticipated program start date of September 30, 2026. Leahy Vetting under Section 620M of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is required for all activities and recipients, with vetting information submitted to the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe.
Applications must include SF-424, SF-424A, and SF-424B forms, a proposal not exceeding 12 pages, budget justification, logic model, and a performance monitoring plan with at least three counterterrorism indicators. Evaluation criteria emphasize program quality and feasibility (30 points), organizational capacity (20 points), program planning and outcomes achievement (15 points), monitoring and evaluation (15 points), budget (10 points), and sustainability (10 points).
Assistance Listing 19.701 (Global Counterterrorism Programs); funding derives from FY25/26 Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) under the Foreign Assistance Act.
Synopsis
This project seeks to counter the ability of terrorist organizations, including ISIS-K, to exploit vulnerabilities in Tajikistan's anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime to finance external operations targeting the U.S. Homeland and interests abroad. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has called attention to multiple deficiencies in Tajikistan's AML/CFT regime, including terrorist financing investigations and domestic coordination capabilities. FATF has also highlighted Tajikistan's ability to conduct parallel financial investigations is impeded due to limited ability to access and utilize financial data, legal system time constraints, and a lack of trained financial investigators. The project should provide technical assistance, a tailored curriculum, and case-based mentoring to strengthen Tajikistan's ability to successfully investigate and prosecute terrorist financing cases, in line with FATF standards.
