Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits and other organizations. Key requirements include the ability to establish a full-time in-country presence with a U.S. licensed attorney with significant criminal defense experience. Proposals must address all five program goals and objectives outlined in the funding opportunity. Questions are due by November 23, 2024, and proposals are due by December 13, 2024.
The total funding available is $2,000,000, with a minimum award of $1,500,000 and a maximum award of $2,000,000. The initial project period is 24 months, with the possibility of extension. The grant program under which this opportunity is assigned is the Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703), which aims to institutionalize the rule of law and 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 for both the Georgia Bar Association (GBA) and Legal Aid Services (LAS) to provide advocacy, training, and on-going professional development for defense attorneys. With acquired skills provided from the applicant, the GBA and LAS will provide direct training to defense attorneys to develop their skills and increase their knowledge to better serve their clients in criminal cases. Protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms requires effective access to legal services by an independent and fully functioning legal profession that provides due process without fear of harassment or intimidation.
