About this program
The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism funds foreign law enforcement capacity-building for terrorism prevention, investigation, prosecution, and adjudication under CFDA 19.701, with the most recent grant award issued June 1, 2026.
The program remains actively funded with 284 total awards since 2011 and consistent recent disbursements. Award velocity has grown from 16 awards in 2022 to 24 in 2024, though 2025 saw only 5 awards and 2026 has issued 1 award to date, reflecting potential funding constraints or timing shifts. Combined federal dollars obligated total $466.2 million, with recipients contributing an additional $27.5 million in non-federal cost-share. The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism dominates funding, issuing 279 of 284 awards ($464.3 million federal), with minimal supplemental support from the Bureau of African Affairs, Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement, and Office of the Secretary of State.
Funded activities span law enforcement and justice-sector capacity development across multiple operational domains. Representative awards address terrorist asset identification and seizure (a Cooperative Agreement for $4.9 million issued June 2026 equipping financial intelligence units and law enforcement in unspecified host nations); border security strengthening in Ethiopia through traveler-screening systems at remote land borders shared with Kenya and Somalia ($3.9 million Cooperative Agreement, September 2025); countering terrorist travel through support to the United Nations Office of Counterterrorism ($1.6 million Project Grant, September 2025); rehabilitation and reintegration of returnees from northeast Syria ($1.1 million Cooperative Agreement, January 2025); and Somalia Police Force counterterrorism unit sustainment and capacity-building ($6.9 million and $4.9 million Cooperative Agreements, December 2024). The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (64 percent, 182 awards) with a substantial Cooperative Agreement component (36 percent, 102 awards).
Multiple grant opportunities posted recently target near-term priorities. A Cooperative Agreement solicitation for Regional Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operations in the Near East (DFOP0018683) closed July 15–20, 2026, supporting specialized EOD, counter-IED, and post-blast investigation training for security forces in Iraq, Lebanon, and Gulf Cooperation Council member states. Open solicitations with July 2026 due dates include Countering Foreign Terrorist Organization Use of Illicit Mining (DFOP0018686, unrestricted applicants), Countering Iran and its Proxies through Enhanced Counterterrorist Financing in Iraq (DFOP0018732), and Countering Terrorist Recruitment Online (DFOP0018502, due July 27). Additional opportunities posted in April–May 2026 address Pakistan's counterterrorism in Balochistan, Iraq's counter-UAS and critical energy protection, Iraq's border security against Iranian proxies, Kenya's Somalia border security, and Mozambique's transit security and early-warning capabilities—all emphasizing sustainable host-nation capability, train-the-trainer models, and protection of U.S. economic interests and personnel.
