Opportunity Information: Apply for INL19GR0024 MONTENEGRO JUSTICE 02282019
The Criminal Justice Civil Society Program #1 is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and supported by the United States Embassy in Podgorica. It is designed to fund targeted projects in Montenegro that strengthen criminal justice reform by increasing meaningful public participation and oversight. The program focuses on helping Montenegro move toward a more effective, accountable, and transparent criminal justice system, with an emphasis on practical, citizen-centered engagement rather than purely technical government-to-government assistance.
At its core, the opportunity aims to empower civil society and other qualified organizations to play a more active role in shaping how criminal justice institutions operate and how reforms are implemented. The grant supports initiatives that involve citizens directly through watchdog and monitoring efforts, evidence-based research, advocacy and policy development, and public education activities. In practice, this can include monitoring court processes and prosecutorial performance, tracking and reporting on systemic issues in criminal procedure, developing policy recommendations based on documented findings, running public awareness campaigns that explain rights and criminal justice processes, or convening stakeholders to discuss and improve reform priorities. The common thread is that the project should make criminal justice reform more transparent to the public and more responsive to public needs, while strengthening accountability mechanisms.
Funding is provided as a discretionary grant, with an award ceiling of up to USD 100,000. The opportunity anticipates making one award, indicating a competitive process where a single proposal may be selected for funding based on alignment with the program goal, organizational capacity, and demonstrated expertise. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.703.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and local Montenegrin non-governmental organizations, media organizations, and other qualified entities, provided they can demonstrate a proven track record in criminal justice-related work and strong organizational capacity to implement and manage grant-funded activities. This eligibility framing suggests the Embassy is looking for implementers that can credibly engage with sensitive rule-of-law issues, produce reliable monitoring or research outputs, manage budgets and reporting requirements, and deliver measurable public-facing results.
