Opportunity Summary:

The Program to Support Criminal Law Reform in Moldova was a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity managed by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Office for Europe and Asia. Its purpose was to advance Moldova's criminal justice and broader justice sector reforms by helping the country modernize its criminal law and procedure and strengthen the institutions that apply and enforce those laws. The program was framed around bringing Moldovan justice and security institutions closer to international standards, with a practical emphasis on improving the capacity of criminal justice actors and supporting sustained reform rather than one-off activities.

A central focus of the opportunity was providing technical assistance to the Moldovan government in areas tied to the judiciary and criminal law. This included facilitating legislative drafting and supplying subject-matter expertise to improve legal frameworks and procedures. Alongside the legislative and institutional support, INL also highlighted a training component aimed at the next generation of legal professionals: developing and implementing advocacy training for Moldovan law students. Taken together, the intended results were stronger laws on the books, better-aligned criminal procedure, and improved skills among those who will practice within the system.

The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expected to be substantively involved in guiding or collaborating on the project during implementation. The opportunity was categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and carried a CFDA number of 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems). INL anticipated making up to two awards from an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $75,000 (floor) to $400,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the listing.

The competition timeline shows the announcement was posted on June 1, 2012, with an application closing date of June 30, 2012, and an archive date of July 30, 2012.
