Opportunity Summary:
The Colombia Drug Demand Reduction Program - Annual Program Statement is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) funding opportunity aimed at reducing the harmful impacts of illicit drug use in Colombia by strengthening the country s ability to prevent drug use before it starts, reduce continued use among people who already consume substances, and expand access to effective treatment services. It sits within INL s broader mission to address transnational criminal activity through a coordinated approach that includes strengthening criminal justice systems, countering illegal narcotics flows, and reducing transnational crime. In practical terms, this opportunity focuses on the demand side of the drug problem: preventing initiation, lowering consumption, and improving treatment availability to reduce the nationwide social, health, and security consequences associated with illegal drugs.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement in the implementation and monitoring of funded projects rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal engagement. The total funding amount made available under the program is USD 1,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 250,000 per project and an anticipated total of about 10 awards. This structure suggests INL is looking to support multiple complementary efforts rather than one single nationwide intervention, potentially allowing different organizations to address prevention, treatment expansion, and consumption reduction in varied communities or target populations.
Eligible applicants include a range of higher education and nonprofit entities: public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the funding activity category is listed as Other, indicating it may not fit neatly into a standard assistance bucket like health or education even though it touches both; instead it is framed within INL s international narcotics and law enforcement assistance mission. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 19.704.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number INL 16 CA 0013 WHPBOGOTA DDR 12282015. It was created and posted on December 28, 2015, and had a closing date of December 31, 2016. Overall, the grant is designed to identify and support practical programs that measurably advance Colombia s national capacity to prevent initial substance use, reduce ongoing consumption, and increase treatment availability, thereby minimizing the broader impact of illegal drugs on the country.
