Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008852
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), is soliciting Statements of Interest and Capacity for a project focused on violent extremist organization (VEO) operations in Senegal. The opportunity is titled "VEO Operations Assessment and Awareness Training in Senegal" and is issued as a discretionary funding opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008852. The selected organization would be expected to carry out an assessment aimed at identifying early indicators that could signal VEO activity and operational presence in Senegal, and then use the findings to deliver practical awareness training on those indicators to both community audiences and local law enforcement personnel. The overall purpose is to improve early detection and understanding of potential VEO-related warning signs, strengthening prevention and response at the local level.
Funding is planned through a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government would typically anticipate a more hands-on partnership than with a standard grant, with ongoing coordination and substantial involvement as the project is implemented. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000, with the expectation of making one award. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with the opportunity is 19.701, which is tied to Department of State counterterrorism-related assistance programming.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and the notice specifies that institutions of higher education are excluded from eligibility. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2022, with an original closing date of May 16, 2022. In practical terms, applicants were expected to demonstrate both their interest in executing this kind of security and community-focused programming and their organizational capacity to conduct the assessment work and deliver training in Senegal, including the ability to engage appropriately with communities and coordinate with local law enforcement stakeholders.Apply for SFOP0008852
