Description
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism announces a funding opportunity for a 15-month results-focused cooperative agreement to improve the counterterrorism capabilities of one of the advanced tactical law enforcement units within Kenya’s Administrative Police Services tasked with securing the border with Somalia. The program aims to enhance the security surrounding the Manda Bay Military Base by strengthening Kenya's ability to detect, deter, and neutralize terrorist actors along the border with Somalia. The program will focus on three lines of effort: low-light and night-vision ability, using unmanned aircraft systems for intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance, and organic explosive ordnance disposal capability.
• The program will provide training and equipment to the target unit to improve their operational readiness.
• The program will focus on building the capacity of the Kenyan government to secure its border with Somalia.
• The program will include a performance monitoring plan to track progress toward program outcomes.
• The program will require the recipient to submit quarterly and biweekly reports.
• The program will be subject to the terms and conditions of the U.S. Department of State's Standard Terms and Conditions.
