Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Rule of Law (ROL) Advocacy to Increase Citizen Security in Nicaragua" is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (DOS-INL). It was posted on April 2, 2016, created the same day, and carried a single application deadline of May 31, 2016. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number INLEA INLCN 16 001 and is organized under the funding activity area of Law, Justice and Legal Services, with CFDA number 19.704, which is commonly associated with State Department INL rule-of-law and related justice-sector assistance programming.
The purpose, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support advocacy-oriented efforts that strengthen the rule of law in Nicaragua in ways that contribute to improved citizen security. In practical terms, a grant framed around rule-of-law advocacy and citizen security typically focuses on promoting legal and institutional frameworks that reduce insecurity, increase accountability, and encourage fair and transparent application of laws. While the source text does not provide program components beyond the title, the emphasis on "advocacy" suggests activities may include civic engagement, policy dialogue, public awareness efforts, and support to civil society or academic institutions to advance reforms related to justice, legality, and protections for citizens.
This opportunity uses a grant as the funding instrument type and is structured as a competitive discretionary award. The ceiling for the single award is $1,000,000, and the announcement anticipated making one award in total, indicating the program was likely intended to fund one primary implementer to lead a cohesive set of activities rather than multiple smaller projects.
Eligibility is broad across several common U.S. assistance categories. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not higher education institutions in that category). This range indicates DOS-INL was open to proposals from universities and research centers as well as civil society organizations capable of implementing advocacy, research, coalition-building, or community-facing initiatives connected to rule-of-law improvements and public security outcomes.
In summary, this was a 2016 DOS-INL grant competition offering up to $1 million for one project aimed at advancing rule-of-law advocacy in Nicaragua with the broader objective of increasing citizen security. Key identifiers include the opportunity number INLEA INLCN 16 001, CFDA 19.704, a May 31, 2016 closing date, and eligibility spanning U.S.-based or otherwise qualifying higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations.
