The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a single recipient through competitive grant selection to strengthen security of critical transit routes in northern Mozambique, specifically along the N380 and N1 highways leading into Cabo Delgado. The initiative will procure specialized training in crisis response and tactical medicine, non-lethal equipment including communications devices and vehicles, and mentorship services for the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) to detect and disrupt terrorism threats. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations, all of whom must maintain active SAM.gov registration and obtain a Unique Entity Identifier. Proposals will be evaluated on quality and feasibility (30 points), organizational capacity and grant history (20 points), program planning and outcome achievement (15 points), monitoring and evaluation (15 points), budget (10 points), and sustainability (10 points). The application deadline is June 9, 2026, at 5:00 P.M. (Washington, D.C. time), with questions due by April 24, 2026.
The award will range from $4,000,000 to $4,933,399 for a 24-month performance period anticipated to commence on September 30, 2026. Applicants must submit a proposal not exceeding 12 pages that includes a situational analysis, problem statement, program activities, logic model, theory of change, performance monitoring plan, timeline, key personnel information, project partners, and sustainability plan, along with required federal forms and budget documentation.

Synopsis
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces a competitive funding opportunity to strengthen the security of critical transit routes in northern Mozambique and protect U.S. economic interests. Northern Mozambique is a region of growing economic significance, with key transit routes that support international commerce. This two-year initiative will enable safer and more reliable movement for U.S. companies, personnel, and goods in Mozambique in support of U.S. economic opportunities and investment in the region. The program will help the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) detect and disrupt terrorism threats along the N380 and N1 highways, which lead into Cabo Delgado and connect strategic economic zones in the north. The project will provide specialized training and non-lethal equipment so law enforcement can respond more effectively to suspected terrorist activity. Targeted mentorship for PRM units will reinforce training, address challenges in real time, and build trust within the units to ensure consistent application of new skills and procedures. By increasing law enforcement presence, improving preparedness and response capabilities, and fostering collaboration, this initiative will reduce the risk of attacks and disruptions along these vital highways. The program will strengthen law enforcement effectiveness and give U.S. entities greater confidence to operate and invest in the region.
