Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005771

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Case-Based Training on Intel-Led Money Laundering Investigations" (Opportunity Number SFOP0005771). The program is built around the idea that profit is a major driver behind transnational criminal organizations, and that financial flows are often the link connecting many different types of illicit activity. INL is looking to strengthen global efforts against financial crime by funding a capacity-building initiative that helps partner countries better investigate, prosecute, and prevent money laundering and related financial offenses, with a specific emphasis on uncovering and disrupting connections to organized crime.

The focus is on practical, case-based training that supports intelligence-led approaches to money laundering investigations. In other words, the work is meant to go beyond broad awareness or theory and instead build real investigative and prosecutorial capability through applied instruction that mirrors how complex financial crime cases develop in practice. While the notice does not lay out a course syllabus in the excerpt provided, the title and framing signal training that integrates intelligence analysis, investigative planning, and evidence development so partner-country personnel can identify laundering typologies, follow money trails, build actionable leads, and support stronger cases in court.

Geographically, the grant targets partners in the Balkans, Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Central Africa. Proposals are expected to cover more than one country, and the primary countries of engagement should include multiple countries drawn from this list: Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, and Benin. Applicants may also include additional countries from the broader target regions (Balkans, Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Central Africa), but the program places a clear premium on designing an approach that is realistic and durable across the selected countries. The opportunity explicitly notes that simply naming multiple countries is not enough; the applicant needs to demonstrate how the project will achieve sustainable and meaningful impact for the countries and regions included, which typically implies careful scoping, feasible delivery plans, and strategies that leave behind lasting skills, processes, or institutional improvements.

The award is structured as a single grant, with INL anticipating one award in total. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $600,000. The opportunity was posted on June 4, 2019, with an original closing date of August 5, 2019. The CFDA number associated with this funding is 19.705, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating it does not fall neatly into a standard program category and should be interpreted in light of the training and capacity-building purpose described in the notice. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" (with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the excerpt), suggesting that applicants should consult the full announcement for the specific types of organizations INL will consider eligible.

Overall, this grant is designed to help partner nations build stronger, intelligence-driven capabilities to combat money laundering tied to organized crime, using hands-on, case-based training delivered across multiple priority countries in key regions where transnational criminal networks operate and move illicit proceeds.
