Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Evidence and Case Management for the Central African Republic's Criminal Justice System" (Funding Opportunity Number: INL 16 CA 0038 AME CAR 06012016). The purpose of the grant is to help rebuild and expand the Central African Republic's criminal justice infrastructure by strengthening two core functions that underpin fair and effective justice outcomes: case management and evidence control. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving how criminal cases are tracked, processed, and administered across the justice chain, and how physical and documentary evidence is collected, stored, safeguarded, and documented so that it can be reliably used in investigations and prosecutions.
The program’s central objective is measurable systems improvement. INL indicates that, by the end of the project, both the case management system and the evidence control system should demonstrate stronger operation, greater effectiveness, and improved accountability compared to what currently exists. This implies a focus not only on building capacity in the abstract, but also on producing tangible changes in procedures and performance, such as clearer workflows, better recordkeeping, and more transparent controls that reduce loss, mishandling, or improper access to sensitive materials. The intent aligns with broader rule-of-law priorities, where well-managed case files and properly controlled evidence are critical for due process, credible adjudication, and public trust in justice institutions.
Funding is expected to be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a closer partnership between the awarding agency and the recipient during implementation, including ongoing coordination and engagement. The award ceiling is $1,250,000, and INL anticipated making one award under this announcement. The grant falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and is associated with CFDA number 19.703, which corresponds to State Department INL assistance programs.
Eligible applicants include a range of organizations capable of delivering justice-sector technical assistance and capacity-building support. Specifically, the opportunity is open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in the nonprofit category). The opportunity was created and posted on June 1, 2016, with an application closing date of August 1, 2016 (no extension noted, as the original and current closing dates match).
Overall, the grant opportunity is a targeted investment in the operational backbone of the Central African Republic's criminal justice system. By concentrating on case management and evidence control, the program aims to help justice institutions move toward more consistent, organized, and accountable practices, increasing the reliability of criminal proceedings and supporting more effective administration of justice.
