Opportunity Summary:
The International Narcotics and Law Enforcement - Mexico Police Professionalization Program is a discretionary U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL) grant opportunity aimed at strengthening policing in Mexico through modernization and reform. The program is framed around supporting reforms consistent with Merida Initiative Pillar II, which focuses on institutionalizing the rule of law and strengthening public security and justice sector capabilities. In practical terms, the opportunity is looking for organizations that can bring innovative, modern approaches to police professionalization, meaning projects that improve how police are trained, managed, supervised, and held to professional standards, while aligning those improvements with broader rule-of-law and security-sector reform objectives.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaborating on planning, monitoring, and key decisions rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The opportunity is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is listed under CFDA number 19.703. The total potential funding level is substantial: individual awards can be as large as $5,000,000, and the agency anticipates making up to 10 awards, suggesting room for multiple implementers and potentially a range of project models or regional focuses.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of education and nonprofit entities. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education may apply, as can nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). This eligibility structure suggests INL is open to proposals from universities, research centers, training academies, and civil-society implementers with relevant experience in policing, public security, justice-sector capacity building, organizational reform, training systems, accountability mechanisms, or related fields.
The funding opportunity is identified as INL 16CA0007 WHPMEXICO 11032015, with an original and current closing date of November 1, 2016. It was created and posted on November 3, 2015. Overall, the core message of the solicitation is that INL Mexico is actively seeking forward-looking, "cutting-edge" proposals that can help Mexico implement meaningful police reforms in line with Merida Initiative goals, using a cooperative agreement structure and with the possibility of multi-million-dollar awards to multiple selected organizations.
