Opportunity Summary:
INL-16GR0035-INLEABIH-05-24-2016 (Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCJ 16 004) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) grant opportunity focused on juvenile crime prevention and improving trust between young people and police in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). The project is designed to reduce crimes committed by juveniles while also strengthening day-to-day relationships between youth and law enforcement, aiming to make police engagement with communities more constructive, credible, and preventive rather than purely reactive.
A central feature of the opportunity is that it is meant to complement and reinforce existing INL-supported community policing efforts already underway in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the U.S. Department of Justice International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP). In practical terms, that means applicants are expected to propose activities that fit alongside community policing initiatives rather than duplicating them, and to build on the relationships, training concepts, and operational approaches that ICITAP-supported work has already introduced. Proposals are expected to concentrate efforts in select cantons within the Federation of BiH, indicating a targeted geographic approach rather than a countrywide program, with the intent of producing measurable results in specific locations.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation. In many State Department and INL programs, a cooperative agreement often implies closer collaboration on planning, monitoring, coordination with other U.S.-funded programs, and alignment with policy objectives, compared with a standard grant where the recipient generally has more independent control. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA number is 19.703, which aligns with INL foreign assistance programming.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $630,000, suggesting a moderately sized, focused program rather than a large multi-partner portfolio. The opportunity was created and posted on May 24, 2016, with an application deadline of July 7, 2016. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field, signaling that applicants would need to consult the full notice to confirm which types of organizations (such as NGOs, educational institutions, or other entities) qualify.
Overall, this opportunity funds a targeted juvenile justice prevention and police-youth relationship-building initiative in the Federation of BiH, designed to integrate with and add value to ongoing INL-backed community policing work. The government appears to be seeking one implementing partner capable of delivering practical interventions at the canton level that reduce juvenile offending risk factors, improve communication and cooperation between youth and police, and support broader community policing objectives already being advanced through ICITAP-supported programming.
