Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Access to Justice and Community Security" is a U.S. Department of State funding announcement issued through the Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) within the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. It is a directed Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), meaning it is structured to support a specific program objective rather than serving as a broad, open-ended competition. The overall focus is Syria, with the stated purpose of continuing efforts tied to security and justice sector stabilization in areas affected by the conflict.
The program is designed to strengthen conditions that allow everyday civic life to function more normally. In practical terms, the announcement emphasizes helping the moderate opposition adapt to a rapidly changing environment inside Syria while expanding the space for routine political, social, and economic activity. The intent is to support community security and access to justice in ways that reinforce local stability, reduce disruption, and help communities move toward more predictable governance and public services.
A major near-term objective is to increase the legitimacy of, and public support for, moderate opposition actors. The announcement frames this as a stabilization effort: improving security and justice-related capacity and credibility so communities see moderate structures as workable alternatives to instability or extremist influence. Over the longer term, the program aims to reduce the risk of future violence and to blunt the conditions that allow extremism to grow, suggesting activities that can lower grievances, strengthen rule-of-law type functions, and improve community-level dispute resolution and safety.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the U.S. government in program oversight or implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity number is NEAAC ACSYRIA 16 001, and it is associated with CFDA 19.601. The maximum award amount listed is $8,000,000. The posting and creation date are June 9, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) is July 26, 2016. Eligibility is not broadly defined in the summary and is listed as "Others," indicating that applicants would need to consult the detailed eligibility language in the full NOFO to understand which organizations are permitted to apply.
In short, this funding opportunity supports a Syria-focused stabilization initiative centered on community security and justice access, with immediate emphasis on bolstering moderate opposition legitimacy and longer-term emphasis on preventing renewed violence and limiting extremist expansion by enabling more normal civic and economic life to take hold.
