Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Building Trust between Community Members and Security Providers in Coastal Kenya" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 16 085). The program focus was preventing radicalism and violent extremism by strengthening trust, communication, and practical collaboration between community leaders, youth, and security providers. The geographic emphasis was Lamu County, with activities also eligible to cover other Coastal Kenya counties such as Mombasa, Kwale, and/or Kilifi. The underlying idea is that improving relationships and cooperation between residents and security actors can reduce conditions that extremist groups exploit, increase community resilience, and support more effective and rights-respecting local security responses.
The opportunity was administered by DOS-DRL under CFDA 19.345 and was released and posted on June 7, 2016, with an application deadline of July 8, 2016. Funding was to be provided through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning applicants needed to be prepared for standard grant management requirements and, in the case of a cooperative agreement, potentially closer engagement and coordination with the Department of State during implementation. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $742,574. While the notice references "ExpectedAwards," the specific number of anticipated awards is not provided in the source data excerpt.
Eligibility was broad and included multiple organizational types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status; nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. In practical terms, this meant both academic institutions and implementing organizations (nonprofit or for-profit) with relevant programming capacity could apply, as long as they could credibly deliver community-based work in the targeted coastal counties and manage U.S. government grant compliance expectations.
In summary, this competition sought implementers to design and run locally grounded initiatives in Coastal Kenya that bring together community stakeholders, especially youth, with security providers to rebuild or strengthen trust and cooperation as a strategy to reduce radicalization and violent extremism. The opportunity was time-limited (summer 2016), offered up to roughly three-quarters of a million dollars per award, and was open to a wide range of qualified organizations capable of delivering conflict-prevention and community-security trust building programming in Lamu and neighboring coastal areas.
