About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is seeking grant applications for a project to strengthen community policing practices in Uzbekistan. The project aims to enhance the capacity of Uzbek civil society organizations to engage in community-based advocacy, improve government accountability and transparency, and foster collaboration between civil society and government actors. Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profit/non-governmental organizations and educational institutions. The application deadline is August 5, 2024.
The total funding available for this opportunity is $300,000, with 1-2 awards expected to be made. The period of performance is 24 months, and the project will take place in Uzbekistan. The federal grant program under which this opportunity is assigned is the Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703), which focuses on developing and expanding criminal justice systems to strengthen partner country law enforcement and judicial effectiveness.
Synopsis
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to strengthen community policing practices in Uzbekistan. The Government of Uzbekistan has continued its broad reform efforts that began in earnest in 2017, including efforts to modernize the country's security services. Despite reforms, public trust in security forces remains low, and allegations of corruption, unresponsiveness, and abuse persist. Civil society, which plays an important role in mobilizing citizenry to advocate for better community conditions, remains fragmented and generally lacks support and social capital to push for systemic change. This project will both strengthen Uzbek civil society organizations as they engage in community-based advocacy while also helping local government actors, especially the Ministry of Internal Affairs, develop protocols and procedures to be more transparent, responsive, and communicative in their relations with local communities. Goals of the project Enhance Civil Society Capacity for Community-Based Advocacy Strengthen Government Accountability and Transparency in Local Communities Foster Collaboration and Partnership Between Civil Society and Government Actors
