Opportunity Summary:
The Civilian Safety and Security Project in Conakry, Guinea is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on law, justice, and legal services, specifically under CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on priorities, review of key deliverables, or joint planning with the award recipient), rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight.
The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $1,700,000, and the funding parameters are unusually fixed: the award ceiling is $1,700,000 and the award floor is also $1,700,000. In practical terms, that signals the government anticipated making awards at that full amount rather than supporting a range of project sizes. INL projected up to five awards, indicating the possibility of multiple implementers or multiple workstreams supporting civilian safety and security objectives in Conakry. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
The eligibility category is listed as "Others," with details deferred to the RFP (Request for Proposals). That wording usually means eligibility may be limited to certain types of organizations (such as non-profits, NGOs, universities, or for-profit entities) or may include additional conditions, documentation requirements, or restrictions described in the full solicitation. Because the public listing does not provide those constraints, an interested applicant would need to rely on the RFP to confirm whether they qualify and what proof of eligibility is required.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competition in mid-2014. The opportunity was posted on July 1, 2014, created in the system on August 5, 2014, with an original closing date of August 5, 2014 and a current closing date of August 6, 2014, suggesting the deadline was extended by one day. The archive date is September 4, 2014, meaning the announcement was later moved to an inactive status once the competition period ended. The funding opportunity number is INL 14 CA 0029 (also listed with an internal reference of INL AME 07012014), which is useful for tracking or referencing the solicitation in correspondence or internal grant systems.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement online, INL provided a direct point of contact: Nicole Patel, Program Officer, reachable at (202) 634-1182 or PatelNJ@state.gov. The public synopsis itself is brief and repeatedly directs readers to "see the RFP" for complete program details, which implies that the specific goals, required activities, expected outputs, reporting requirements, performance measures, and proposal format were all laid out in the full solicitation rather than in the summary listing.
