Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 023
The grant opportunity titled "Human Rights Curricula for Afghan Police Forces" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA-DRLAQM-18-023) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It is a discretionary grant program focused on community development (CFDA 19.345) and was created on November 7, 2017, with an original application closing date of January 9, 2018. The program is designed to support efforts that help the Afghan government strengthen the human rights performance of security forces operating under the Ministry of the Interior, with particular emphasis on the Afghan National Police (ANP) and the Afghan Local Police (ALP).
At its core, the opportunity aims to improve how police forces understand, integrate, and apply human rights standards in their day-to-day duties. The focus on "human rights curricula" signals that DRL is looking for practical training and instructional content that can be adopted or used by Afghan policing institutions. This commonly includes developing or strengthening training modules, lesson plans, instructional materials, and potentially training-of-trainers approaches so that human rights principles are not delivered as a one-time workshop, but embedded into ongoing education and professional development for police personnel.
The maximum funding amount (award ceiling) for a grant under this opportunity is $750,000. While the listing notes "Expected Awards:" without a number provided, applicants should interpret that as uncertainty about how many awards may be made, which often depends on available funds and the quality of proposals received. The funding instrument type is a grant, which generally means the recipient is expected to carry out an approved program plan with defined objectives, activities, outputs, and reporting requirements, rather than simply providing a service under a procurement contract.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple organization types: U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. In practical terms, this means both nonprofit and private-sector implementers can compete, including training organizations and specialized firms, as long as they can demonstrate credible capacity to design and implement effective human rights training for police forces, ideally in challenging environments and in coordination with governmental stakeholders.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an effort to reduce abuses and improve accountability and professionalism within Afghan policing institutions by strengthening the content and delivery of human rights education. Successful projects would be expected to align training with internationally recognized human rights norms and operational policing realities, targeting those forces most directly associated with the Ministry of the Interior, particularly the ANP and ALP, where improved knowledge, procedures, and institutional culture could contribute to better human rights outcomes on the ground.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 18 023
