Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008817
The Countering Wildlife Trafficking in Central Africa grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008817) is a discretionary U.S. government grant administered by the Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 19.705. The opportunity was created on April 1, 2022, with an original application closing date of June 1, 2022.
The central aim of the program is to reduce wildlife trafficking in Central Africa by strengthening the criminal justice chain so wildlife crimes can be handled effectively from start to finish. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on building the capacity of criminal justice institutions to carry out successful enforcement actions, conduct investigations that meet evidentiary standards, and pursue prosecutions that hold offenders accountable. Alongside those core justice-sector improvements, the opportunity also emphasizes the development and implementation of credible measures that prevent wildlife crime, reflecting a balance between reactive enforcement and proactive prevention.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The program anticipates making one award, which suggests the Department is looking for a single, coordinated project approach rather than multiple smaller, separate projects. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the award is intended for universities or similar public academic institutions capable of delivering technical assistance, training, research-backed program design, or institutional strengthening support in partnership with justice and enforcement stakeholders in the region.
Overall, the opportunity is designed for an applicant that can help improve how wildlife crimes are detected, investigated, and prosecuted in Central Africa, while also supporting prevention-oriented strategies that reduce opportunities and incentives for trafficking.Apply for SFOP0008817
