Opportunity Summary:
The Anti Corruption Programming in Laos opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCJ 16 001) was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The goal was to fund targeted anti-corruption capacity building in Laos, with a particular focus on strengthening the skills, systems, and operational effectiveness of two key Lao institutions: the Government Inspection and Anti Corruption Committee and Lao Customs. In practical terms, the program was framed around improving how these bodies prevent, detect, and respond to corruption risks, including the kinds of integrity and accountability gaps that can undermine law enforcement and border or customs operations.
The grant was categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and tied to CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems), signaling that INL viewed the work as part of broader criminal justice and rule-of-law objectives rather than as a purely administrative reform effort. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award structure was fixed: the ceiling and the floor were both $100,000, meaning the selected applicant would receive a $100,000 grant rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction indicates the competition was intended for specialized implementers such as nonprofits with governance, compliance, training, or anti-corruption programming experience, rather than universities. The funding instrument type was a grant, which typically implies the recipient would have substantial responsibility for program design and implementation within the parameters of the award, while meeting INL reporting and compliance expectations.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on June 23, 2015, with an original and final closing date of August 23, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on September 22, 2015, indicating it is no longer open for applications. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice directed them to the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov), which operates continuously except on federal holidays.
Overall, the opportunity was a small, single-award grant designed to deliver practical, capacity-focused anti-corruption assistance to specific Lao government counterparts, especially those involved in oversight/investigations and customs functions where corruption vulnerabilities can directly affect governance, public trust, and enforcement outcomes.
