Opportunity Information: Apply for INL18CA0014 COLOMBIAN JUDICIAL EDU 03151
The Support for Colombian Judicial Education opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL18CA0014) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant competition managed by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is designed to support judicial education and related justice-sector capacity building in Colombia as part of a broader, long-running U.S. partnership that began under Plan Colombia. The program emphasis reflected here is the post-Plan Colombia shift away from primarily operational security support and toward strengthening Colombian government institutions, advancing institutional reforms, and improving the performance and integrity of the criminal justice system.
Funding is provided through the International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE) account, and oversight/management is handled by the INL section at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the listing is associated with CFDA 19.703. The primary award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the U.S. government anticipates substantial involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on work plans, monitoring, and alignment with embassy and host-government priorities), rather than a more hands-off grant structure.
Eligible applicants include a range of U.S. and overseas organizations: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as specified in the eligibility list). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at organizations with the technical ability to design and deliver judicial education programming and to coordinate effectively with Colombian justice institutions and U.S. government counterparts. The description explicitly highlights U.S. or overseas-based NGOs and U.S. or overseas higher-education institutions as key applicant types, signaling an expectation of credible training expertise, curriculum development capacity, and experience working in international rule-of-law or criminal justice reform environments.
The opportunity was originally posted on March 15, 2018, with an original closing date of May 14, 2018. The listed award ceiling is $3,000,000, indicating the maximum potential federal funding amount for an award under this announcement. The notice also indicates “Expected Awards:” but does not provide a number in the source text, so applicants would need to consult the full solicitation package for details on anticipated award count, performance period, and specific program components.
Overall, this grant is best understood as a targeted investment in Colombia’s justice-sector human capital and institutional strengthening, administered by INL as part of its broader mandate to address international narcotics control and criminal justice challenges. The intent is to reinforce the rule of law by improving the capacity of judicial actors and institutions through structured education and training initiatives aligned with Colombia’s reform priorities and the U.S. government’s justice-sector cooperation agenda.Apply for INL18CA0014 COLOMBIAN JUDICIAL EDU 03151
