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, with a focus on frontier localities. The project aims to build Tajikistan's capability to interdict terrorist activity by creating mechanisms for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and potential terrorist threats. The primary objective is to address the regional security risks posed by ISIS-K and prevent terrorist recruitment and cross-border activities in Central Asia. Key qualifications will likely include demonstrated expertise in counterterrorism, community engagement, and regional security strategies. The grant opportunity, posted on July 7, 2025, has a proposal submission deadline of August 7, 2025, under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701).
While specific award values are not explicitly stated, similar grants in the Global Counterterrorism Programs typically range from $500,000 to $7 million, with performance periods of 12 to 36 months. The place of performance will be in Tajikistan, specifically targeting remote and frontier localities vulnerable to terrorist infiltration and recruitment. The project is designed to directly support U.S. national security interests by mitigating terrorist threats at their source and preventing potential cross-border terrorist activities that could impact American security. The cooperative agreement structure suggests an expectation of close collaboration between the U.S. government and the selected implementing organization throughout the project's duration.
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.
