Opportunity Summary:
The Justice Sector Support Project (JSSP) is a U.S. Department of State initiative, administered through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL), aimed at strengthening Perus criminal justice system. The opportunity is framed around persistent systemic problems that affect both the performance and legitimacy of justice institutions in Peru. According to the grant description, court processes often lack transparency, the system is overloaded with cases, and proceedings can take an excessively long time to resolve. These operational issues are compounded by limited institutional resources and widespread public perceptions of corruption, which together undermine trust in the justice sector.
A core concern highlighted in the opportunity is the gap in access to justice. The description points to an insufficient number of judges and court staff, which contributes directly to backlogs and delays. It also notes that people can be effectively blocked from pursuing legal remedies due to the cost of lawsuits, cultural and gender barriers that discourage or prevent participation, and fragmented service delivery that forces individuals to navigate disconnected institutions and processes. In practical terms, the project is positioned to support reforms or interventions that reduce delays, improve transparency, and make justice services more reachable and coherent for the public, particularly for groups facing structural barriers.
This funding opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the funding agency expects to remain substantively involved during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 19.703. The announcement was created and posted on April 4, 2016, with an application closing date of June 1, 2016.
Eligibility is broad but focused on capable institutional implementers. Eligible applicants include non-governmental organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions in those categories), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The agency anticipated making one award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $1,000,000. The opportunity number is INL 16 CA 0025 WHPPERU JSSP 04042016, which identifies it as an INL cooperative agreement competition tied to Peru and the JSSP program.
