Description
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. This 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 will focus on protecting critical infrastructure and providing technical assistance and equipment to Pakistani law enforcement agencies.
• The program will emphasize Pakistani ownership, institutional capability, and graduation to self-sufficiency.
• The program will support the development of a logic model and theory of change to articulate how and why the program is expected to contribute to achieving the stated CT program outcomes.
