Open competition for eligible organizations to submit applications to implement a project that strengthens Uzbekistan’s anti-corruption framework and supports a more transparent, predictable, and competitive business environment. The project seeks to improve opportunities for U.S. companies and other legitimate investors by supporting reforms that reduce corruption risks, strengthen accountability, and promote fair market conditions.

To carry out a project to provide programmatic, logistical, travel, and administrative support to advance INL Mexico’s objectives and programs. These programs deliver training and related activities to appropriate participants in support of the objectives of the U.S.–Mexico Security Cooperation Assistance Program. Through these efforts, the project will help strengthen regional security, counter transnational criminal threats, and advance U.S. national security interests by helping make the United States stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State seeks applications from qualified organizations to implement a program aimed at enhancing the operational capacity of the Specialized Departments for Organized Crime and Corruption in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and Republika Srpska (RS). Bosnia and Herzegovina sits along the "Balkan route" for drug and weapons trafficking, and BiH-based criminals are key members of powerful transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that cooperate with global cartels, launder hundreds of millions of dollars through BiH, and rely on corruption and weak judicial capacity to evade accountability. This program will address critical gaps in prosecutorial expertise, interagency coordination, and international cooperation by strengthening the capacity of FBiH and RS Specialized Department prosecutors and judges to effectively investigate, prosecute, and secure convictions in complex organized crime and corruption cases. Through targeted technical assistance, mentoring partnerships with U.S. prosecutors, and institutional and legal reforms, the program will degrade TCO networks that threaten U.S. security, undermine governance, and destabilize a key European partner.
