Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005710
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Implementation of Anticorruption Standards Globally" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005710) is a U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is a discretionary grant (CFDA 19.703) designed to move anticorruption efforts beyond broad commitments and into practical, country-level reforms that can be implemented and tracked. The core idea is to help partner governments translate international and regional anticorruption standards they have already signed onto into concrete actions, guided by the specific recommendations those governments have received through formal peer review processes.
The project is intended to operate in at least three of six eligible target countries: South Africa, The Gambia, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malaysia, and Armenia. Applicants are expected to choose a minimum of three countries from this list and then work with relevant stakeholders in those countries to identify "priority substantive anticorruption measures" that are both important and realistically actionable. Rather than inventing new standards, the program emphasizes alignment with existing international and regional anticorruption frameworks and the recommendations issued by peer review bodies linked to those frameworks. In practice, this means the work should be rooted in what countries have already pledged to do and what external review mechanisms have already flagged as gaps, weaknesses, or next steps.
A major deliverable envisioned by the opportunity is the development of anticorruption action plans in the selected countries. These action plans should outline reform actions tied to the priority measures and be grounded in the relevant standards and peer recommendations. The grant does not stop at planning; it explicitly calls for targeted follow-up support to help governments implement the action plans. That follow-up can include technical assistance (for example, helping draft regulations, improve procedures, build institutional capacity, or strengthen compliance systems), advocacy (supporting reform champions, building public or stakeholder support, or encouraging adoption of specific measures), and coordination (helping align the roles and efforts of government entities, oversight bodies, civil society, and other partners so reforms do not stall due to fragmentation or unclear responsibility). The broader aim is to improve implementation, not just policy design, by supporting practical steps that make anticorruption commitments operational.
Financially, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $800,000, with an expectation of a single award. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which typically signals that a range of non-federal entities such as NGOs, implementers, or other organizations may apply depending on the solicitation terms. The opportunity was created on April 2, 2019, with an original closing date of June 4, 2019. Overall, the grant is structured to help governments make measurable progress on anticorruption reforms by using internationally recognized standards and peer review findings as the roadmap, then backing that roadmap with hands-on assistance and coordinated follow-through across multiple countries.Apply for SFOP0005710
