Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled Combatting Corruption in the Asia-Pacific Region (Funding Opportunity Number: INLEA INLTC 16 004) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL). It is structured as a grant within the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding area (CFDA 19.705) and was posted on June 9, 2016, with an application closing date of August 9, 2016. The program anticipates making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $700,000.
At its core, the purpose of this award is to support practical, implementable activities that help governments in the Asia-Pacific region follow through more effectively on international anti-corruption commitments and initiatives. The emphasis is not simply on broad statements about combating corruption, but on strengthening real-world compliance, enforcement, and institutional performance tied to existing domestic, regional, and international anti-corruption obligations. The intent is to improve how governments adopt, apply, and sustain anti-corruption standards, policies, and actions.
A major part of the grant is oriented toward regional engagement, particularly by providing expert support to regional anti-corruption bodies. One specifically named forum is the APEC Anticorruption Task Force, where technical expertise could be used to reinforce stronger anti-corruption standards and promote consistent approaches across participating economies. This regional component suggests work such as advising on policy frameworks, supporting the development or refinement of standards and guidance, and helping multilateral bodies coordinate anti-corruption priorities in a way that is actionable for member governments.
In addition to regional work, the opportunity explicitly supports targeted technical assistance and capacity-building efforts aimed at select domestic anti-corruption institutions and law enforcement officials. The focus here is on improving the capabilities of the agencies and practitioners responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to corruption, as well as those tasked with implementing anti-corruption commitments. Capacity building may take the form of specialized training, technical instruction, mentoring, or advisory support designed to make domestic bodies more effective in carrying out anti-corruption laws, meeting international standards, and cooperating on cross-border or multi-jurisdictional challenges.
The grant also envisions connecting domestic and regional efforts so they reinforce each other. Domestic assistance can be complemented by regional capacity-building activities that bring officials together to exchange best practices and lessons learned. This kind of cross-country engagement is meant to strengthen regional networks, improve coordination, and create shared momentum around implementation. In practice, that often translates into workshops, peer-learning events, technical exchanges, or other structured convenings that help officials compare approaches, identify effective tools, and address common obstacles.
Another important element of the program is support for civil society organizations (CSOs) across the region. The intent is to help CSOs promote improved public sector transparency and accountability, including initiatives that deepen engagement and cooperation with governments and contribute to stronger oversight of government performance. This portion recognizes that anti-corruption progress often depends on more than internal government reform alone and that independent monitoring, public transparency efforts, and constructive government-civil society collaboration can strengthen accountability systems. The description points toward activities that help CSOs work more effectively in transparency and oversight roles, potentially by building their capacity, improving coordination with public institutions, and encouraging mechanisms that enhance official scrutiny and responsible governance.
Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text (not included in the excerpt provided). The overall design indicates a single, relatively sizable award intended to fund a cohesive program spanning regional policy support, practical institutional capacity building, and civil society-driven transparency and accountability initiatives, all aimed at improving implementation of anti-corruption commitments in the Asia-Pacific region.
