Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006282
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC), released a discretionary Notice of Funding Opportunity (SFOP0006282) titled "Improving Community Security and Access to Justice in Syria." It is structured as a cooperative agreement in the law, justice, and legal services category (CFDA 19.601). The opportunity was posted on November 19, 2019, with an original closing date of January 24, 2020. The funding can be substantial, with an award ceiling of up to $40,000,000, and the notice anticipates a single award. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice.
The grant is designed to advance two core U.S. policy objectives in Syria. First, it aims to support the enduring defeat of ISIS by strengthening local capacity to provide community security in areas liberated from ISIS, while also helping local communities resist pressure and influence from Iranian-backed proxy forces. Second, it seeks to contribute to a political resolution to the Syrian conflict consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2254, recognizing that persistent security and justice-related grievances are among the drivers that fuel instability and prolong conflict.
To meet these goals, NEA/AC is looking for targeted assistance projects that empower civilian security providers in northeast Syria to deliver everyday security services in a way that is locally grounded and community-oriented. A central feature of the approach is partnership: proposals are expected to involve local stakeholders, civil society organizations, and local governance bodies so that security services are shaped by community needs rather than imposed externally. The intended outcome is safer local environments, with particular attention to improving security for religious and ethnic minorities, strengthening local Syrians ability to manage and stabilize territories under their control, and expanding space for normal political, social, and economic life to resume.
In addition to the community security focus, the opportunity includes a justice-sector component aimed at the longer term. NEA/AC is seeking proposals that can assess Syrias legal and judicial structures to help lay the groundwork for future reform efforts. The notice acknowledges that direct programming to expand access to justice inside Syria may be limited under current conditions, but it still asks applicants to think ahead and include practical options for delivering justice and rule-of-law support if conditions change and an opening emerges. Applicants are allowed to submit proposals that address one or both of the main assistance objectives, meaning an organization could focus exclusively on community security in liberated areas, exclusively on justice-system assessment and preparatory work, or propose an integrated package that links community security improvements with pathways toward more credible justice and dispute-resolution mechanisms.Apply for SFOP0006282
