Opportunity Summary:
The Guatemala Central Region Municipal Public Safety Center Project (C MPP) was a U.S. government grant opportunity administered by the Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). The goal of the program was to support improved public safety and justice-sector coordination in Guatemala by establishing new Municipal Public Safety Centers (MPSCs) in 14 targeted municipalities. These municipalities were located across five departments in the country: Sacatepequez, Escuintla, Santa Rosa, Jalapa, and Jutiapa. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on building or strengthening local-level public safety infrastructure and services through the creation of new centers intended to serve as hubs for municipal public safety efforts.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipated having substantial involvement in the project as it was implemented, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.705 (Transnational Crime), reflecting INL's broader mission of addressing crime and insecurity, including issues that can span borders and affect regional stability.
The maximum available funding (award ceiling) was up to $8,000,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. The announcement was posted on July 16, 2015, and the application window ran until September 15, 2015, with the archive date listed as October 15, 2015. The funding opportunity number was INL 15CA0045 WHPGUATEMALA 071615, which identifies the specific solicitation in federal grant systems and records.
Eligibility was open to a range of organizational types, including private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (as long as they were not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). This eligibility mix suggests the program was designed to attract implementers with capabilities in public safety programming, institutional strengthening, community-based security initiatives, training, and coordination work with local stakeholders.
For applicants or interested parties who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed points of contact were Ms. Yvette Marquez Perkins (marquezperkinsy@state.gov) and Selecia Banner (bannersl@state.gov). These contacts were provided for administrative and access-related support tied to the solicitation.
