Opportunity Summary:
The Haiti National Police Recruitment Program and Public Relations Campaign grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 12 CA 0012 HAITI 02202012) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects to have an active role in guiding, coordinating, or overseeing key aspects of implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal involvement. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems), signaling that the core purpose is to strengthen criminal justice and policing capacity through a targeted recruitment and communications effort in Haiti.
At a high level, the opportunity is aimed at supporting the Haiti National Police (HNP) by increasing recruitment and improving public-facing communications through a public relations campaign. While the detailed technical requirements and deliverables are contained in the attached Request for Proposals (RFP) referenced in the notice, the title and funding category make it clear that the focus is on designing and carrying out efforts that both attract qualified applicants to the HNP and shape public awareness or perceptions in a way that supports police staffing goals and broader public confidence. In practical terms, this kind of project typically involves developing recruitment messaging, identifying target audiences, selecting communication channels, and producing outreach materials, as well as coordinating campaign timing and monitoring whether outreach is translating into applicant interest and completed applications. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect structured engagement with INL during planning, rollout, and performance reporting.
Funding for the opportunity totals an estimated USD 1,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 1,000,000 and an award floor of USD 500,000. INL anticipates making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), which implies the selected organization would likely be responsible for the full scope of the recruitment and public relations effort, either by executing directly or managing subcontractors and partners. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though the RFP may still allow or encourage leveraged resources as a strength factor depending on INL preferences.
The posting date and creation date are both February 20, 2012. The original and current closing date is March 19, 2012, and the archive date is April 18, 2012. This timeline indicates a standard, time-limited solicitation window, after which the opportunity was archived. Organizations interested at the time would have needed to prepare and submit a proposal by the March 19, 2012 deadline in accordance with the RFP instructions, including any required technical narrative, budget documentation, and eligibility certifications.
Eligibility is summarized in the public notice as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with a specific instruction to review the attached RFP for eligibility criteria. In other words, the eligibility rules are not fully spelled out in the brief announcement itself, and applicants were expected to consult the complete solicitation package to confirm whether they qualified to apply and what documentation they needed to submit to demonstrate eligibility. In many INL solicitations, eligible entities can include non-profits, for-profits, educational institutions, or other organizations with demonstrated capability, but the definitive answer for this program is whatever is stated in the attached RFP.
For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the complete announcement materials electronically, the contact listed is Cheryl Price, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-776-8743, with a Department of State email contact indicated in the notice (the email address itself is not shown in the text provided). The announcement repeatedly notes that the funding opportunity description and eligibility details are contained in the attached Request for Proposals, which would be the controlling document for the scope of work, submission format, evaluation criteria, reporting requirements, and any compliance obligations tied to operating in Haiti and coordinating with the Haiti National Police and U.S. government counterparts.
