Protect American Commercial Investments in Pakistan through Advanced Tactical Response to Terrorist Incidents

The Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces this funding opportunity to protect American economic and security interests by supporting Pakistan's law enforcement counterterrorism abilities in Balochistan Province. The program should deliver concrete returns for American taxpayers by safeguarding U.S. commercial access to critical minerals essential to technological advancement, defense manufacturing, and economic competitiveness. • The program aims to reduce Pakistan's long-term dependency on U.S. taxpayer resources by building sustainable Pakistani law enforcement capabilities to independently identify, disrupt, and deter terrorist networks. • The program should enable Pakistan to assume greater responsibility for counterterrorism operations in Balochistan without ongoing U.S. support. • All activities must emphasize Pakistani ownership, institutional capability, and graduation to self-sufficiency. • The program will focus on protecting critical infrastructure, technical assistance, and potential complementary equipment provision.
