Opportunity Summary:
The Maghreb Sahel Corrections Reintegration Program was a U.S. government discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), focused on strengthening corrections reintegration efforts in three countries: Morocco, Mali, and Niger. The core purpose of the program was to support projects that improve how correctional systems prepare incarcerated individuals to return to society, with an emphasis on practical reintegration approaches that can reduce recidivism and improve public safety outcomes. In general terms, this kind of initiative typically covers the transition period from incarceration to community life, including programming, institutional capacity building, and coordination between corrections authorities and relevant community-based partners.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the U.S. government expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as ongoing coordination, oversight, and collaboration on program direction and performance. The opportunity was listed under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services, and aligned with CFDA number 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). The total anticipated award size ranged from a floor of $1,000,000 to a ceiling of $1,900,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligible applicants included a range of U.S.-based or otherwise qualifying organizations capable of implementing international justice-sector programming: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity did not list for-profit entities among eligible applicant types in the provided information, signaling that the program was intended for academic and nonprofit implementers with relevant expertise in corrections, rehabilitation, reintegration services, research, training, and technical assistance.
