Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005571
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Countering Wildlife Trafficking in Laos and Malaysia" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005571) to support efforts that improve how Southeast Asian criminal justice systems respond to wildlife crime. The core purpose of the funding is to strengthen domestic criminal justice institutions by improving enforcement operations, investigative capacity, and prosecutorial effectiveness related to wildlife trafficking and other wildlife-related crimes. While the broader goal is regional strengthening in Southeast Asia, the opportunity specifically targets activities focused on Laos and Malaysia, aiming to build the capability of relevant institutions and actors working on wildlife crime in those two countries.
The program is structured as a grant, with an anticipated total award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 per award and an expectation of making about two awards. In practical terms, this indicates the funder was looking for a small number of relatively substantial projects rather than many small ones, with each selected applicant potentially receiving up to the stated ceiling depending on the final scope and budget. The opportunity was created on February 6, 2019, and the original application closing date was April 8, 2019, which reflects a time-limited application window typical of U.S. government discretionary grant solicitations.
In terms of what projects were meant to accomplish, the emphasis is on strengthening the full chain of criminal justice response to wildlife trafficking: better detection and enforcement actions, stronger and more sophisticated investigations, and improved ability to bring cases to court and secure appropriate outcomes. That framing suggests projects could be designed around practical capacity-building for institutions that investigate and prosecute wildlife crime, improving coordination among agencies involved in wildlife law enforcement and criminal justice, and enhancing the systems and skills that make cases more likely to succeed. The opportunity description highlights institutional strengthening and support to the functions that turn wildlife crime from a low-risk, high-reward activity into one that is more consistently detected, investigated, and prosecuted.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation, which typically means a range of non-federal entities could apply depending on the specific requirements in the notice. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.705, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the program sits outside more common standard categories and is defined by the specific criminal justice and law enforcement capacity-building purpose described in the solicitation.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted INL capacity-building initiative aimed at reducing wildlife trafficking by strengthening the domestic criminal justice response in Laos and Malaysia, with funding sized to support a small number of comprehensive projects that improve enforcement, investigations, and prosecutions related to wildlife crime.Apply for SFOP0005571
