Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity INL-16GR0053-INLEABurma-07-12-2016 (Funding Opportunity Number: INLEA INLCN 16 003) was a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It focused on drug demand reduction in Burma (Myanmar) in response to the country being the worlds second largest producer of poppy after Afghanistan and experiencing steadily rising drug production and drug use since 2006. The core problem the opportunity targets is the social and developmental harm caused by increasing narcotics use, which INL describes as undermining Burmese society and slowing broader progress.
The purpose of the funding was to support practical, on-the-ground efforts that reduce drug use by combining prevention and treatment-oriented interventions. INL signaled that it wanted to work in coordination with the Government of Burma, multilateral partners, and the NGO community, suggesting a strong emphasis on collaboration and alignment with broader counternarcotics strategies rather than isolated, stand-alone projects. Within that approach, the opportunity prioritized two main types of programming: first, public education and prevention initiatives that raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse; and second, initiatives that either provide healthy alternatives for people at risk of drug use or directly meet the needs of individuals already addicted to illicit narcotics. In other words, the funding aimed to cover both upstream prevention (awareness, youth engagement, alternative activities) and downstream response (services and support for people with substance use disorders).
The award structure was relatively small and targeted. The ceiling per award was $150,000, with an expected five awards, indicating INL planned to fund a limited number of qualified organizations capable of delivering concrete, measurable demand-reduction activities. The assistance instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as "Other," implying the projects could be cross-cutting (public health, education, community programming, rehabilitation support) rather than fitting neatly into a single traditional sector label. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 19.704, tying it to the State Departments broader international narcotics control and law enforcement assistance portfolio.
Eligibility was not framed as open to all standard applicant classes; it was listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement. Practically, that typically signals a focus on organizations with relevant capacity and experience, commonly including NGOs and other specialized entities positioned to implement community education, prevention programming, and services for people affected by addiction. The opportunity opened on July 12, 2016, and had an original closing date of August 30, 2016, reflecting a short application window consistent with many targeted foreign assistance competitions.
Overall, this opportunity was designed to fund a small set of implementers to deliver tangible drug demand reduction results in Burma through awareness campaigns, prevention and alternative-activity programming for at-risk groups, and support services for people struggling with illicit narcotics addiction, all within a collaborative framework involving Burmese authorities and international partners.
