The Bureau of International Security-Nonproliferation is seeking applications for its Strat. Trade Controls in SCA Region.
The purpose of this award is to Strengthen Export Controls in South and Central Asia (SCA) and Mongolia by ensuring laws and regulations are in place to require authorization to export or transfer controlled goods and technologies.
Under this NOFO, ISN/ECC seeks proposals to advance U.S. foreign policy and national security priorities by supporting initiatives that make decision-making structures and processes in fragile, conflict, or crisis-affected contexts more reflective of and responsive to the needs and perspectives of partner states to ensure strategic trade control systems meet international standards and by engaging on bilateral, regional and multilateral levels with foreign governments to aid in the establishment of independent capabilities to regulate transfers of weapons of mass destruction, WMD-related items, conventional arms, and related dual-use items, and to detect, interdict, investigate, and prosecute illicit transfers of such items.
