Globsec

Globsec is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal awards from the U.S. government since August 2014. The entity primarily focuses on addressing security and policy challenges in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in relation to hybrid threats, disinformation, and transatlantic cooperation. Through its federal contract and grant awards, Globsec provides services that include research, analysis, and implementation of programs aimed at strengthening regional security and countering malign influences. Globsec's expertise spans various aspects of international relations, with a particular emphasis on enhancing resilience against hybrid threats and fostering transatlantic partnerships.

While specific details about prime federal contract awards are not provided, Globsec has been involved in subcontract work that demonstrates its capabilities in addressing complex geopolitical challenges. Under a recent subcontract (ID: 7200AA22D00004|7200AA23F00009|FFPSGAPSNA2024007|GCPGYLWL1JM4), Globsec is tasked with providing expertise on media and non-profit sector vulnerabilities to Kremlin-aligned influences. This work includes conducting desk-based research, designing research methodologies, performing interviews, and contributing to report writing on countering Kremlin influence in Moldova and other countries. The organization is responsible for analyzing the means by which Kremlin-aligned stakeholders attempt to undermine media and non-profit sector institutions. As part of this subcontract, Globsec is expected to participate in the International Anti-Corruption Conference in Lithuania in June 2024, potentially speaking at events and providing input for presentations. The prime contractor for this subcontract is Millennium Partners Consulting LLC, indicating a collaborative approach to addressing these issues.

Globsec has received two notable federal grant awards in recent years, both from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of State. The most recent grant (ID: SLO10024GR0016), awarded on March 25, 2024, is a project grant focused on addressing vulnerability to hybrid threats in Slovakia. This grant involves conducting trainings at schools, organizing workshops for NGOs, and implementing a social media campaign to combat disinformation. The project is set to run until October 31, 2024, demonstrating a targeted, short-term approach to building resilience against hybrid threats. The second grant (ID: SBE30022CA0005), a cooperative agreement awarded on September 28, 2022, aims to contribute to defining a common vision and approach to transatlantic security cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. This grant, which runs until March 31, 2024, underscores Globsec's role in shaping strategic dialogues and fostering international cooperation in the region. Both grants highlight Globsec's commitment to enhancing regional security and its capacity to implement complex, multi-faceted projects that address critical challenges in the evolving geopolitical landscape.
