Countering Transnational Repression Through Evidence-based Research

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor announces an open competition for proposals for programs that investigate how perpetrators of transnational repression infiltrate diaspora communities using faith-based or quasi-government organizations to target individuals and groups across borders and exploit governmental and quasi-governmental bodies and mechanisms. The program would then translate findings into immediately actionable options for individuals, organizations, governments, and international bodies to mitigate risk and end these practices. Key aspects of the project include: * Investigating transnational repression and its impact on diaspora communities * Developing evidence-based research to inform policy and practice * Providing actionable options for mitigating risk and ending transnational repression * Collaborating with local partners and stakeholders to implement the project * Conducting monitoring and evaluation to assess project impact
