Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006992
The Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Capacity Building to Counter Criminal Threats in Venezuela" (Opportunity Number SFOP0006992). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to remain actively involved in shaping or overseeing the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. The opportunity was created on May 21, 2020, with an original closing date of July 17, 2020, and it anticipated making one award with a maximum (ceiling) value of up to $2,000,000 under CFDA 19.705.
The core purpose of the program is to strengthen planning and operational readiness to address criminal threats linked to Venezuela, with a particular focus on transnational organized crime, law enforcement cooperation, counternarcotics, and rule of law priorities. The project is designed to support capacity building for interim, transitional, or newly formed Venezuelan government officials, as well as for regional partners who are dealing with cross-border or spillover impacts of criminal activity originating from or connected to Venezuela. In practice, this typically implies helping partners prepare to prevent, disrupt, investigate, and prosecute criminal networks, while also improving institutional procedures and coordination in ways that reinforce lawful governance and accountability.
A key feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on rapid-response planning. Applicants are expected to have credible technical expertise in areas such as policing and law enforcement assistance, organized crime analysis and disruption, counternarcotics strategy, and justice sector or rule of law programming. INL indicates that when an emerging need is identified by INL/WHP, the selected implementer must be able to produce a detailed technical plan quickly, specifically within two weeks of approval (assuming funds are available). That plan is expected to be implementation-ready and include a timeline, a clear work plan, a budget, and a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan. The two-week requirement signals that the program is intended to be agile, with the implementer ready to pivot quickly to new priorities, deploy technical design capacity on short notice, and translate policy direction into actionable program plans.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" (with further clarification referenced in the original eligibility section), which generally suggests that entities beyond a narrow set of applicants may be considered depending on the specific terms of the notice. Overall, the opportunity is positioned less as a long, fixed-scope development project and more as a flexible mechanism to help INL prepare and deliver targeted capacity building support as political or operational conditions evolve, especially during periods of governmental transition or heightened regional security concerns.Apply for SFOP0006992
