What the grant funds

Overview: The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to improve international corrections personnel’s ability to operate safe, secure, humane, and transparent correctional systems in line with international standards through the provision of training. The proposal must clearly articulate how INL’s Guiding Principles of Training (see attached) have been incorporated in the program design, goals, objectives, and activities. Priority Region/Countries: This is a global program, participating countries may include all regions of the world. Countries/Regions that have participated in INL’s international corrections training in the past, several years include: Afghanistan, Albania, Bahamas, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Central African Republic, Armenia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Eastern Caribbean Countries, El Salvador, Georgia, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, Kosovo, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Palestine Authority, Pakistan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Tunisia. This is an illustrative list of countries/regions that have participated in INL’s international corrections training in past years; however not all countries on this list may participate in future years and other countries not listed here may also participate. Each year, INL conducts an annual call for corrections training requests from our Embassies worldwide. For successful applicants of this NOFO, INL will provide a calendar of training requests in line with the specifics of that cooperative agreement. For example, if an applicant proposed to conduct up to ten Juvenile Correctional Institution Management, two-week training courses in a year, INL would then provide a schedule of up to ten course iterations, including which countries would attend the training courses. Problem Statement: While international and regional human rights frameworks provide strong guidance to corrections personnel, many systems in developing countries lack the necessary policies, processes, and materials to comply with these international standards, and many corrections professionals have not had access to adequate basic or specialized corrections training.
