The United States Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, is seeking applications from qualified Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Educational Institutions and other qualified organizations for a Grant/Cooperative to implement a program entitled “Programs to Support Correction and Probation Reform in Armenia.”
INL combines forces with other USG and international agencies and takes a regional approach to widespread problems. INL also encourages more developed governments to take responsibility as equal partners in global efforts to support critical country and global programs that combat transnational crime, disrupt illicit trafficking, and build their capacities to extend their reach of justice under the rule of law. The Bureau’s priority programs support three inter-related objectives:
- BUILDING CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS: Institutionalize rule of law by supporting and assisting in capacity building of host nation justice, law enforcement, and corrections institutions, promote human rights and diversity, protect vulnerable groups, and collaborate with multilateral and international partners to establish global standards and accountability mechanisms;
- COUNTER-NARCOTICS: Disrupt the overseas production and trafficking of illicit drugs through targeted counter-narcotics and institution-building assistance and coordination with foreign nations and international organizations, and;
- TRANSNATIONAL CRIME: Minimize the impact of transnational crime and criminal networks in the U.S. and its allies to oppose and counter corruption; wildlife crimes; cybercrime; intellectual property rights (IPR) fraud; transnational organized crime; environmental crime; crimes that threaten civilian security; and activities using the proceeds of crime.
Goals
- Support the Government of Armenia’s capacity to operate a probation and prison system that is considered safe, secure, humane, transparent, and compliant with Armenian law as well as international standards and norms concerning prison operations and the treatment of prisoners and vulnerable populations.

Activities might include, but are not limited to the following components. Individual proposals should address all components.
