Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Developing Kosovo's Strategic Trade Control Enforcement Capabilities" (Funding Opportunity Number: ISN ISNECC 16 011) is a U.S. Department of State program administered by DOS-ISN under CFDA 19.901. It is a discretionary funding opportunity that would be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would likely maintain substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating key aspects of the project as it is carried out. The program was posted on June 15, 2016, created the same day, and had a single application deadline of July 29, 2016.
The central purpose of the award is to strengthen the Government of Kosovo's ability to enforce strategic trade controls. In practical terms, the project is meant to help Kosovo implement and enforce the requirements of its Law for the Trade of Strategic Goods, along with its secondary legislation and related implementing instructions. Strategic trade controls generally refer to the legal and administrative measures used to regulate the movement of sensitive goods, technologies, and related items that could present national security, proliferation, or broader security risks if diverted or misused. The emphasis here is not on drafting new laws, but on building the government's real-world enforcement capability so that the existing legal framework can function effectively.
Funding is limited, with an award ceiling of $123,000, and the Department of State anticipated making one award. Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other applicants as described in the opportunity's eligibility clarification. Overall, the opportunity is narrowly targeted: it funds a single project intended to provide Kosovo with applied support and capacity-building aimed at improving enforcement of its strategic goods trade control regime, aligning day-to-day government practice with the country's established laws and implementing rules.
