Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Vocational Training for Haitis Prison Inmates," was released by the U.S. Mission to Haiti through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program is designed as a pilot effort focused on building practical, job-relevant skills among incarcerated people in Haiti, with an emphasis on textile production and garment assembly.
The core purpose of the project is twofold: first, to deliver vocational training that equips inmates with marketable skills they can potentially use for employment after release, and second, to apply those newly learned skills to a real production need inside the prison system by having trainees produce standardized uniforms for Haitis inmate population. In other words, the training is not purely classroom-based or theoretical; it is intended to result in tangible output, with uniform production serving as both a learning vehicle and an operational benefit for Haitis corrections system.
A key requirement is close coordination with Haitis Department of Prison Administration (DAP). The selected grantee is expected to conduct trainings inside DAP facilities, which implies planning around the realities of delivering instruction in secure environments, working within institutional schedules, and ensuring that tools, materials, and processes align with facility rules. The grant also calls for a "train the trainer" approach that actively involves DAP personnel, suggesting the program is meant to build internal capacity so DAP staff can sustain or replicate the training model after the pilot ends. In addition, the organization implementing the project must coordinate practical details connected to uniform production, which likely includes production standards, sizing and specifications, workflow organization, quality control expectations, and coordination for distribution or use within the prison system.
Funding is relatively modest and structured for a pilot: the award floor is $40,000 and the award ceiling is $95,000, with one award expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is listed under law, justice, and legal services, and it is associated with CFDA number 19.703, which relates to criminal justice systems support. The opportunity was posted on February 3, 2014, and had a closing date of March 5, 2014, with an archive date of April 4, 2014, indicating it is no longer open but provides a clear snapshot of the governments priorities and the type of projects it sought to support.
Eligibility is open to several types of organizations. Applicants may be U.S.-registered nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, U.S. universities or research institutions that also meet 501(c)(3) provisions, or nonprofit organizations or educational institutions based in Haiti. Haiti-based applicants must be registered in-country or provide proof they are actively seeking registration at the time they submit their proposal. Overall, the opportunity targets organizations that can manage training delivery, partner effectively with Haitian corrections authorities, and run a controlled, production-oriented vocational program that balances workforce development goals with the operational needs of Haitis prison system.
