About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to strengthen early-warning, threat detection, and response capabilities in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, with an application deadline of June 9, 2026. One award of $2,000,000 to $2,960,039 is anticipated over a 24-month performance period beginning September 30, 2026.
Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. All applicants must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier and maintain active SAM.gov registration.
The program targets the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) in Cabo Delgado and surrounding northern provinces, focusing on areas with U.S. economic interests, particularly around liquefied natural gas projects. Key deliverables include specialized training on intelligence collection and analysis, community engagement strategies, and operational response procedures; deployment of a dedicated mentor (full-time or part-time, single or multiple personnel) based in either Pemba/Cabo Delgado or Maputo; development of information-sharing channels between PRM and local communities; and limited non-lethal equipment to support communication and information management. The program may include small-scale construction or rehabilitation of community centers facilitating dialogue. Applicants must account for Leahy vetting requirements in timelines and are not required to submit official permission letters from the Government of Mozambique at application.
Proposals are evaluated on program idea quality and feasibility (30 points), organizational capacity and prior grant performance (20 points), program planning and ability to achieve outcomes (15 points), monitoring and evaluation (15 points), budget (10 points), and sustainability (10 points). Proposals must not exceed 12 pages, excluding forms, attachments, and title page, and must include a logic model and performance monitoring plan incorporating at least three counterterrorism standard indicators, risk analysis, and detailed budget justification in U.S. dollars.
The funding falls under CFDA 19.701, Global Counterterrorism Programs, using FY25/26 Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs funds.
Synopsis
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces a competitive funding opportunity to strengthen early-warning, threat detection, and response capabilities in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, to directly protect U.S. economic interests. By enhancing information sharing and threat detection near U.S. economic interests, this program will reduce risks to American companies and investments, enabling U.S. businesses to operate with greater confidence in a safer and more stable environment that advances American commercial interests and supports U.S. reindustrialization efforts. This two-year initiative will focus on developing effective channels for information exchange between the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) and local communities in Cabo Delgado and on strengthening PRM's ability to respond to threats that could disrupt U.S. commercial operations or endanger American personnel. The program aims to enable law enforcement to identify, assess, and respond to potential threats before they materialize, thereby preventing attacks and disruptions to critical U.S. economic activities and protecting American investments in Mozambique's natural resource sector. Specialized training will be provided to PRM units on how to collect and assess actionable intelligence, plan and execute appropriate responses, and engage and collaborate with local communities to build trust and encourage timely reporting of suspicious activities that could threaten U.S. interests. By improving early warning systems, strengthening community law enforcement partnerships, and enhancing response capabilities, this initiative seeks to prevent threats before they impact U.S. interests and to foster greater confidence among U.S. companies operating in Cabo Delgado.
