Western Hemisphere Counterterrorism Legal and Financial Disruption Program

The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces a funding opportunity to establish a Western Hemisphere Counterterrorism Legal and Financial Disruption Program. The program aims to strengthen recipients' ability to hold Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) accountable by improving legal frameworks and disrupting their financial networks. The program will deliver structured legal and financial-disruption training for investigators, prosecutors, and judges across Latin America and the Caribbean. Key aspects of the program include: • Investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating terrorism cases and dismantling FTO networks • Disrupting financial networks of FTOs and transnational criminal organizations • Improving information sharing with U.S. counterparts • Emphasizing practical skills, multi-agency coordination, and targeted assistance to advance U.S. national security throughout the Western Hemisphere
