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 in frontier localities. The project aims to build Tajikistan's capability to interdict terrorist activity by enabling local communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and potential terrorist threats. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public international organizations, governmental institutions, and for-profit organizations. The grant will evaluate proposals based on their ability to address the critical counterterrorism challenges in Central Asia, specifically the potential for terrorist groups to inspire and recruit Central Asians to commit attacks. The application deadline is August 7, 2025, with key submission requirements including a detailed proposal, budget justification, and performance monitoring plan.
The federal grant opportunity will award up to $1,497,975 for a performance period of 24-36 months, with an anticipated project start date of September 30, 2025. The funding is part of the FY 2024 Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related (NADR) Programs, specifically under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701). The place of performance will be in Tajikistan, with a strategic focus on border regions and localities vulnerable to terrorist recruitment and cross-border illicit activities. Applicants must demonstrate a comprehensive approach to early detection and response strategies that align with the Bureau of Counterterrorism's functional strategy goals of disrupting terrorist plots and diminishing violent extremist radicalization.
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.
