Travel Logistics Support for Belize In-country Training | OFOP0001345

Opportunity Information: Apply for OFOP0001345

The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Travel Logistics Support for Belize In-country Training" (Funding Opportunity Number OFOP0001345). The project will be funded through a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee should expect ongoing coordination and involvement from the U.S. government during implementation. The overall purpose is to support INL-Belize capacity-building programs by handling the practical, behind-the-scenes logistics and administrative work that allow training and related activities to run smoothly, with the broader aim of strengthening Belizean government institutions and contributing to crime reduction outcomes.

The work is specifically focused on in-country programming within Belize. In other words, the grant is not framed as funding for trainings conducted outside Belize or as a general regional travel program; it is intended to cover the logistical and administrative support needed for trainings and related events that take place inside Belize. The supported activities are tied to INL-Belize programs and may include coordinating the travel and movement of participants and trainers within Belize, arranging venues and training spaces, supporting scheduling and participant management, and handling other administrative requirements that typically accompany capacity-building initiatives. While the notice does not list every allowable cost line-by-line, the emphasis is clearly on enabling the delivery of training and related events by taking on the planning, coordination, and support functions that can otherwise slow down or complicate program delivery.

The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $600,000, indicating INL intends to select one primary implementing partner to manage these logistics and administrative services for the covered period. The original application closing date is June 7, 2024. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for funding activity and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 19.705, which corresponds to INL assistance programs.

Eligibility is relatively broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign-based organizations. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based nonprofit/non-governmental organizations, U.S.-based educational institutions that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code or under 26 U.S.C. 115, as well as foreign-based nonprofit/NGO organizations and foreign-based educational institutions. This structure suggests INL is open to applicants with demonstrated capacity to operate in Belize and manage detailed logistical support functions, whether they are headquartered in the United States or abroad, as long as they can meet U.S. government assistance requirements and successfully coordinate in-country implementation.

In practical terms, a competitive applicant would likely be expected to demonstrate strong operational capability in Belize, reliable financial and administrative systems, experience supporting training events or government capacity-building initiatives, and an ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders (such as implementing partners, trainers, and Belizean government participants). Since this is a cooperative agreement rather than a grant with minimal federal involvement, applicants should also be prepared to show how they will communicate, report, and align day-to-day logistical decisions with INL-Belize priorities and timelines.
