About this opportunity
The Department of State's 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 addressing the potential of terrorist groups to inspire and recruit Central Asians. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, educational institutions, public international organizations, governmental institutions, and for-profit organizations. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the applicant's ability to strengthen local stakeholder relationships, improve detection and coordination capabilities, and prepare personnel to respond to security crises. The application deadline is August 7, 2025, with an anticipated project start date of September 30, 2025.
The federal grant opportunity will award up to $1,497,975 for a performance period of 24-36 months under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701). The project will be implemented in Tajikistan, specifically targeting frontier localities vulnerable to terrorist recruitment and cross-border illicit activities. The funding is part of a strategic effort to protect U.S. borders and security by addressing terrorist risks at their source in a critical Central Asian counterterrorism nexus.
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.
