About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs administers CFDA 19.222, the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP), which funds countering violent extremism (CVE) programs across the Sahel and West Africa, with the most recent grant awards disbursed on September 30, 2024. The program has issued 23 total awards since 2016, with funding activity accelerating to 8 awards in 2024 after a slower 2021–2022 period (2 awards each year). Combined federal obligated dollars total $6.7 million, with no matching or cost-share requirement evident in the portfolio.
The program funds community-level and institution-building activities to disrupt violent extremist recruitment and operations. Recent awards illustrate the current funding emphasis: increasing women's participation as mediators in peace processes in Niger's Tillaberi Region ($100 thousand); training female community leaders in conflict resolution and preventing violent extremism in Ghana's Upper West Region ($68,560); building the capacity of Bajenu Gox (neighborhood godmothers) in Senegal to counter violent extremism ($249,982); and empowering mothers as agents of peace and resilience in Cameroon ($34,155). Earlier awards funded youth resilience networks, civil society capacity-building, economic empowerment tied to preventing violent extremism, and trust-building between communities and law enforcement.
The portfolio is split between Project Grants (61 percent, 14 awards) and Cooperative Agreements (39 percent, 9 awards). The Department of State Bureau of African Affairs dominates funding concentration, obligating $4.5 million across 19 awards, while the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs obligated $2.1 million across 4 awards. Typical award magnitudes range from $26 thousand to $249 thousand, with one outlier Cooperative Agreement at $790,948 from 2021.
Multiple grant opportunities closed in mid-2024 (June–August deadlines) targeting Niger, Senegal, Ghana, and Cameroon under a Women Leading Peace thematic track. No current open solicitations are present in the source.
