he Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S.
Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to
provide programmatic, logistical, travel, and administrative support to the capacity-building
programs for the Office of Knowledge Management (KM). Capacity-building programs provide
training and other relevant activities to appropriate participants which furthers INL’s overall goals
and objectives with host country partners, civil society, and professional associations.
INL is especially interested in proposals that provide a plan for addressing the participation of
persons with disabilities, including specific means, measures, and corresponding targets. INL is
dedicated to strengthening the rule of law and supporting civil society in building strong and resilient
communities.
This project will involve significant interaction with U.S.-based and foreign criminal justice sector
institutions and applicants are strongly encouraged to have robust expertise in this topic and
experience working with and relationship networks with such institutions. Applicants who do not
have this expertise and these relationships in house are strongly encouraged to partner with one or
more entities that do. While this pertains to all activities described in the ‘Project activities and
deliverables’ section below, this is especially important for effective implementation of Activity 10
and Activity 11.
