Opportunity Summary:
The Afghanistan Counternarcotics Program is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) funding opportunity focused on reducing Afghanistan's narcotics production and trafficking and the broader harms tied to the drug economy. The program is framed as part of a wider interagency and international effort, and it is described as supporting U.S. policy objectives while responding to direct requests from the Government of Afghanistan. INL positions the narcotics trade as a major driver of instability: it is linked to insurgent financing, it contributes to corruption that weakens governance, and it damages the economy and social fabric by creating financial dependency and addiction in many families. The announcement cites United Nations estimates that in 2011 opium farm gate income was likely about $1.4 billion, roughly 9 percent of Afghanistan's GDP, underscoring the scale of the illicit economy the program seeks to counter.
Program activities are intended to address both ends of the drug supply chain. On the enforcement and security side, the opportunity emphasizes targeting the nexus between insurgents and narcotraffickers, which is presented as directly aligned with U.S. counterinsurgency goals. On the prevention and stabilization side, it also highlights support for licit agriculture as an alternative to poppy cultivation, strengthening counternarcotics law enforcement, building institutional capacity, reducing demand, conducting public information efforts, and reinforcing rule of law. In practical terms, the grant is structured to fund projects that can combine operational counternarcotics efforts with longer-term capacity building and community-focused interventions that reduce the incentives and social conditions that sustain the drug trade.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to be substantially involved in the project during implementation rather than acting purely as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" with the clarification that it is a counternarcotics program, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.704 (Counter Narcotics). The estimated total funding amount is $10,000,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and an award floor of $0, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.
Key dates listed in the notice include a posted date of July 30, 2012, an original closing date of August 30, 2012, and a revised current closing date of October 8, 2012, with an archive date of November 7, 2012. Eligibility is broadly identified as "Others" and refers applicants to the full Request for Applications (RFA) for detailed eligibility requirements and any additional conditions. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Lourdes Stein, Program Analyst, at (202) 776-8774.
