About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) has announced a federal grant opportunity for the Freely Associated States Prosecutorial Development (FASPro) Project. The grant aims to engage in prosecutorial development and training in the Pacific Islands, particularly in the Freely Associated States (FAS) of the Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The project objectives are to strengthen the regional enabling environment and institutional capacity for prosecutorial workforce development, expand the pool of criminal litigators, and establish mentorship programs and practicum opportunities for entry-level legal professionals. The grant is open to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, and the evaluation will focus on the applicant's ability to stimulate the development of prosecutorial offices in the FAS.

The total funding available for this 36-month project is $2,500,000, with a minimum floor of $2,000,000 and a maximum ceiling of $2,500,000 per award. INL anticipates making 1 award, with an estimated start date of October 2024. The grant is funded under the Department of State's Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703), which supports initiatives to strengthen criminal justice systems in partner countries.

Synopsis

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to engage in prosecutorial development and training in the Pacific Islands, particularly in the Freely Associated States (FAS) of the Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. To this end, the FAS Prosecutorial Development (FASPro) project will work with relevant justice sector actors (e.g., ministries of justice, training institutes and law schools, bar associations, law firms, alternative courts, legislative bodies, regional and international organizations) to strengthen workforce pipelines in the legal sector in order to stimulate the development of prosecutorial offices in the FAS.
