About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a cooperative agreement to develop early detection strategies for terrorist activities in Tajikistan, focusing on at-risk communities' ability to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends. The grant opportunity targets non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public international organizations, and governmental institutions capable of building counterterrorism capabilities in frontier localities. Applicants will be evaluated based on program quality, organizational capacity, cost-effectiveness, program design, and potential for sustainability, with a primary objective of interdicting terrorist movement and protecting U.S. security interests. The evaluation will assess proposals' strategic approach to identifying and mitigating terrorist recruitment risks in Central Asia, particularly concerning ISIS-K's potential exploitation of the region. The application deadline is August 7, 2025, with an anticipated performance start date of September 30, 2025.
The federal grant opportunity offers a total award of up to $1,497,975 for a single cooperative agreement with a performance period of 24-36 months. The funding is part of the FY 2024 Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related (NADR) Programs under CFDA Number 19.701, specifically targeting counterterrorism efforts in Tajikistan. The place of performance will be in Tajikistan, with a particular emphasis on remote and rugged border regions where terrorist groups may seek to recruit and organize. Applicants must be registered in SAM.gov and prepared to submit comprehensive proposal documents demonstrating their capability to address the complex counterterrorism challenges in the region.
Synopsis
Tajikistan is a critical counterterrorism nexus in Central Asia, a region ISIS-K seeks to exploit for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite vulnerabilities caused by Tajikistan's remote and rugged borders, which create risks of illicit movement, it appears the greatest terrorist risk to the region and U.S. security lies in the potential of terrorist groups to inspire, recruit, and organize Central Asians to commit attacks. This project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, with a focus in frontier localities. In doing so, this project builds Tajikistan's capability to interdict terrorist activity and movement through early detection, responding to terrorist activity at the source to protect America's borders and security.
