Opportunity Information: Apply for INL22GR0065 WHPCOSRIC CSADCC 081522
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) issued a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Citizen Security through Anti-Drug Community Coalitions: Creation and Support of Anti-Drug Community Coalitions in Costa Rica: Phase II." The project is designed to strengthen citizen security in Costa Rica by building and supporting locally driven, community-based coalitions that can organize and lead practical efforts to reduce the use, sale, and trafficking of addictive substances. Rather than focusing only on enforcement, the opportunity emphasizes coordinated community action and prevention-oriented work, aiming to bring together many parts of local society around shared anti-drug goals.
At the center of the program is the creation of community coalitions, meaning structured groups that represent a broad mix of local stakeholders and that can plan, coordinate, and implement activities as a unified body. INL specifically highlights involvement from youth, senior citizens, businesses, parents, media, law enforcement, schools, faith-based organizations, health providers, social service agencies, and government. The intent is to build a durable local network where each group contributes its perspective and resources, so that anti-drug strategies are not isolated in a single institution. These coalitions are expected to drive actions themselves, which suggests an emphasis on local leadership, local ownership, and community credibility, with the funded organization facilitating formation, capacity-building, and ongoing support.
The grant is categorized under law, justice, and legal services (CFDA 19.704), reflecting the broader citizen security framing and INL's role in supporting international counternarcotics and rule-of-law efforts. While the summary description does not list a detailed menu of required activities, the framing strongly implies prevention and community mobilization work such as organizing local awareness and education campaigns, coordinating referral pathways to health and social services, building partnerships between schools and families, supporting youth engagement and pro-social alternatives, improving community-police collaboration, and creating shared local strategies that make drug markets and trafficking activity harder to sustain. The emphasis on multiple stakeholder types also implies that coalitions should be able to communicate effectively with the public and local media, use data or local insights to set priorities, and create mechanisms for sustained collaboration rather than one-off events.
In funding terms, the opportunity has an award ceiling of $600,000, with INL expecting to make one award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity was posted on August 15, 2022, with an original application deadline of October 14, 2022. The competition is open to eligible applicants described generally as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility section (not included in the excerpt provided). The opportunity number is INL22GR0065, which can be used to locate the full solicitation details, including any additional requirements on applicant type, project period, deliverables, monitoring and evaluation expectations, reporting, and budget rules.
Overall, this Phase II opportunity is aimed at expanding or deepening community coalition-based approaches to drug prevention and community safety in Costa Rica by funding an organization capable of convening diverse local actors, helping them form functional coalitions, and supporting those coalitions to carry out locally led actions that discourage drug use and disrupt the community conditions that enable sale and trafficking.Apply for INL22GR0065 WHPCOSRIC CSADCC 081522
