Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Combating Wildlife Trafficking in Namibia" (Funding Opportunity Number: INLEA INLTC 16 003) to strengthen Namibia's ability to prevent, investigate, prosecute, and deter wildlife crime and trafficking. The program is designed to build on existing civil law enforcement capacities and to improve the overall national response to wildlife trafficking by addressing key gaps across laws, enforcement practice, and the justice system. Applicants are allowed to propose projects that focus on any single target area or combine multiple target areas into a broader, coordinated program.
The grant focuses on four main objectives. First, it aims to strengthen legislative frameworks, which generally means improving the quality, clarity, and enforceability of laws and regulations related to wildlife crime, trafficking networks, and associated offenses. Second, it seeks to build investigative and enforcement capacity, which can include specialized training, operational support, better investigative techniques, improved coordination among enforcement bodies, and stronger case development practices that can withstand scrutiny in court. Third, it targets enhanced prosecutorial and judicial capacity, emphasizing the ability of prosecutors and the courts to handle wildlife crime cases effectively, apply relevant statutes appropriately, and process cases in a way that supports meaningful deterrence. Fourth, it supports raising awareness of wildlife crimes in Namibia, reflecting the idea that public knowledge, stakeholder engagement, and targeted outreach can reduce demand, increase reporting, and improve community cooperation with authorities.
The opportunity was offered as a grant with an award ceiling of $1,800,000, and DOS-INL expected to make approximately five awards. The activity categories listed for the opportunity are Law, Justice and Legal Services and an additional "Other" category as clarified in the solicitation text, indicating the program can support a mix of criminal justice, policy, and related capacity-building activities tied directly to combating wildlife trafficking. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 19.705.
Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the non-501(c)(3) category). The opportunity was posted on June 2, 2016, created on June 2, 2016, and had an original and current closing date of August 1, 2016. Overall, the solicitation signals an emphasis on practical, justice-system-centered interventions that can translate into stronger investigations, stronger cases, and more consistent outcomes that reduce the profitability and feasibility of wildlife trafficking in Namibia.
