Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia Regional Rule of Law Response Fund (Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCJ 16 005) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL). It is designed to support a single implementing organization that can act as a flexible, rapid-response partner for rule of law and justice sector programming across the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. The core idea is to fund an initiative that can be deployed quickly, in varied formats, to meet emerging needs in justice institutions and related legal systems as situations evolve on the ground.
The program emphasizes speed and adaptability rather than a single, fixed set of activities. The selected implementer is expected to deliver a broad range of interventions that may include technical assistance, tailored trainings conducted in one country or across multiple countries, seminars or workshops in one or more locations, and other responsive support mechanisms. This structure is meant to address a wide variety of justice sector needs, recognizing that challenges can differ significantly by country and may arise with little warning. The fund functions like a regional tool that can pivot to the highest-priority issues as they appear, instead of being limited to a pre-defined workplan for one jurisdiction.
A central requirement of the award is close coordination with INL’s East Asia and Pacific regional office (INL/EA) and with INL sections embedded in U.S. missions in relevant countries. In practice, this means the implementer should be prepared to communicate frequently with U.S. government counterparts, track and respond to political and operational developments, and jointly identify time-sensitive opportunities and obstacles affecting justice sector performance. The award is structured to enable the implementer to support INL priorities efficiently and in alignment with in-country realities, rather than operating independently or on a slow planning cycle.
The opportunity falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and is associated with CFDA number 19.703. The grant has an award ceiling of $505,000, with one award expected, indicating a competitive selection for a single organization to manage and execute the response fund concept. While eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, the language signals that INL is seeking qualified organizations with the capacity to operate regionally, deploy expertise quickly, and implement short-notice activities that may span multiple countries.
Key administrative details reflect that this was a time-bound 2016 competition: the opportunity was created and posted on May 26, 2016, and the closing date was July 8, 2016. Overall, the grant is best understood as a regional, agile rule-of-law support mechanism intended to provide INL with a ready partner capable of delivering targeted justice-sector assistance quickly, while coordinating closely with INL stakeholders to ensure relevance, timeliness, and impact.
