Opportunity Information: Apply for INL20CA0006 APJUVENILE KABUL 10102019
The Juvenile Rehabilitation and Reintegration in Kabul and Nangarhar Provinces opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL20CA0006; created October 10, 2019) is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected implementer should expect close coordination with INL during planning, delivery, and monitoring of activities. The program falls under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services category (CFDA 19.703) and is focused on improving juvenile justice outcomes in Afghanistan, specifically at the juvenile rehabilitation centers in Kabul and Nangarhar.
The core purpose is to complement INL work already underway at the Kabul and Nangarhar Juvenile Rehabilitation Centers by improving conditions for juveniles in custody and strengthening the Afghan Ministry of Justice capacity to rehabilitate and reintegrate youth who are in conflict with the law. The project is designed to support juveniles both while detained and after release, with a strong emphasis on practical preparation for life outside custody. A key theme running through the description is that rehabilitation is not treated as only an in-facility service; it is also about reducing risk and vulnerability once youths return to their communities, including training that helps them be safer and more self-reliant after release.
A central deliverable is the establishment and institutionalization of sustainable vocational and educational programming at the Kabul and Nangarhar juvenile centers. In other words, the grant is not just funding short-term classes, but aiming to embed programming that can continue as a normal part of how the centers operate. The opportunity calls for partnerships with Afghan government counterparts, specifically the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), including the General Directorate of Juvenile Rehabilitation Centers (GDJRCs), as well as collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MOLS). This multi-ministry coordination signals that INL is looking for a program that connects detention-based services to recognized education pathways and market-relevant workforce skills, and that aligns with national systems rather than operating in isolation.
Eligibility is broad across nonprofit and education actors. It is open to U.S. not-for-profit/non-governmental organizations and U.S.-based educational institutions that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code. It is also open to foreign not-for-profit/non-governmental organizations and foreign-based educational institutions. This indicates INL is willing to consider both U.S. and non-U.S. implementers, as long as they have the capacity to deliver education and vocational interventions in coordination with Afghan ministries and within juvenile custody settings.
In funding terms, the award ceiling is $400,000. The opportunity’s original closing date was November 8, 2019. The notice lists “ExpectedAwards:” but does not provide a number in the source text provided, so the precise count of planned awards is not specified here. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted juvenile justice rehabilitation effort centered on vocational and educational programming, designed to produce longer-lasting institutional improvements inside Kabul and Nangarhar juvenile facilities and to improve reintegration prospects for youth after release through practical skills and coordinated government partnerships.Apply for INL20CA0006 APJUVENILE KABUL 10102019
