Culture of Lawfulness Program: Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. Funding Opportunity Title: Culture of Lawfulness Program. Announcement Type: Initial Announcement Funding Opportunity Number: INL-05-CA-001 CFDA Number: 00.000 Dates: Full proposals dated no later than July 25, 2005. Anticipated Award Date: September 2005. Executive Summary: The United States Government, represented by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) at the Department of State, is seeking proposals from qualified U.S. Organizations and with the requisite capability and experience to conduct a program in civic education on crime and corruption for up to three (3) years in accordance with this Request for Grant Proposal (RFGP). The amount of funding depends on budget availability for individual country programs. Applicants must have a demonstrated expertise in one or more of the subject areas such as civic education, culture of lawfulness programs, anti-corruption or anti-crime programs, as well as the ability to develop and implement a program. Eligibility is limited to non-Federal agencies and organizations, and is encouraged with the objective of developing a strong partnership with the state/local law enforcement community. Non-law enforcement applicants are urged to seek collaboration with state/local law enforcement institutions, crisis centers and other relevant NGOs. Experience of U.S. trainers related to crime and corruption is required. Universities and non-profit organizations are included among entities eligible for funding under this announcement. Direct funding for non-U.S. institutions is not available under this announcement. INL considers this requirement to be primarily assistance for a public purpose, rather than the acquisition of services. Accordingly, an assistance instrument (i.e., a cooperative agreement), in lieu of a contractual relationship, has been determined to be the most appropriate vehicle for transferring U.S. institutional experience in this area of foreign educational institutions. Under an assistance instrument, INLs involvement is on a partnership basis, as opposed to the relationship established under a contract where the Agency is acquiring specific goods or services for its own use or benefit. Pursuant to 22 CFR 226.81, it is Department of State (DOS) policy not to award profit or fee under assistance instruments. However, all reasonable, allocable, and allowable expenses, both direct and indirect, which are related to the cooperative agreement program and are in accordance with applicable cost standards (22CFR 226, OMB Circular A-122 for non-profit organizations, OMB Circular A-21 for universities, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for-profit organizations), may be paid under the cooperative agreement. Grant awards will range between $75,000-$600,000 per year per country (as explained below) for up to three years. I. FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES DESCRIPTION Introduction The Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is responsible for promoting U.S. Government anticrime policies worldwide. INL activities include funding anticorruption prevention programs in select countries. INL proposes funding a Culture of Lawfulness program (COL) as a supplement to anticrime and anticorruption efforts in select countries. Funding Availability This Request for Grant Proposal (RFGP) is for projects and programs outside the Federal government, over a period of three years. Actual funding levels will depend upon availability of funds. Currently there are programs in place in El Salvador, Peru, Panama, Mexico, and Colombia, and an assessment of whether it is feasible to introduce the program in Iraq is being conducted. Supplementary program funding may be available to extend the program to additional countries on a case-by-case basis. Supplementary funding will depend upon host nation political environment, host nation demonstration of commitment to carry out program implementation without assistance after program initiation (including evaluation and subsequent program changes), available host country resources for program implementation, INL program funding availability in select country missions, and recommendations by INL country program managers. The funding instrument for this award will be a Cooperative Agreement. Funding for non-U.S. institutions and contractual arrangements for services and products for delivery to INL are not available under this announcement. Cost sharing, though encouraged, is not required by this program. Program Authority Authority: Section 635(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act, as amended Program Goal and Objectives The goal of this program is to enhance governmental capacity to alter societal attitudes and cultural mores through targeting youths in selected countries afflicted with cultures of corruption and crime. The goal is also to integrate the curriculum into the standard elective course curriculum for at least one grade and to provide each country with the resources needed to initiate the COL, while encouraging host nations to direct funds that will sustain the program in the long-term. In some countries, the goal will be to provide training for the police and/or other public officials in the COL program. Statement of Work As a complement to ongoing INL anticrime and anticorruption projects, the proposed COL will assist select countries in creating self-sustaining education programs to alter societal attitudes and cultural mores about local crime and corruption. The recipient will work closely with select governments to create a useful curriculum and lesson plan at the primary school level that provoke thought and discussion about the personal and societal costs of crime and corruption. The grade level may be altered depending upon the award recipients recommendations and particular educational systems and requirements in each country (i.e. requisite national testing can affect the possibility of implementing elective courses in certain grades). With the assistance of the host government, the curriculum will be tailored to address the local situation, culture, and needs. A similar curriculum may be developed for training police and other public officials along the same lines. The COL will initially target the countries where the program is currently in existence: Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Panama and El Salvador. Additional funds for these countries cannot be guaranteed without a full-scale INL program review and 1) availability of INLfunds; 2) commitment of host government funding and resources (i.e. teachers and classrooms); 3) level of political will demonstrated by host governments; 4) whether the relevant U.S. mission and INL country program managers recommend COL as a viable project for those countries within their area of responsibility; and 5) whether the project will complement other anticorruption, anticrime, and educational efforts in the host country. The recipient will be tasked to work with teachers selected by host governments to develop lesson plans tailored specifically to each country, employing the train the trainer methodology to train local teachers to effectively implement the course curriculum. The recipient will be responsible to carry out the following program requirements: 1. Initiate and sustain an effective partnership with government officials and educators from each target country; 2. Create a course curriculum and lesson plan which incorporates local attitudes and cultural mores relating to crime and corruption; 3. Provide training to local teachers to enable them to effectively administer the course curriculum in future years without INL assistance; 4. Encourage partner governments to target resources toward COL courses and other educational efforts that help effect long-term changes in attitudes towards crime and corruption; and 5. Effectively evaluate COL and host government efforts during the course of the INL-funded work, incorporate recommendations by teachers and others working in the field, and tailor the program accordingly. 6. Effectively evaluate the trainers and teachers that have been trained in COL to verify their effectiveness. To do this, recipient should maintain a list of teachers who have received training and coordinate with host government officials to track the teachers. 7. Effectively evaluate the impact of the program on students changes of attitude, changes in behavior. To do this, recipient should maintain a list of students who have participated in the program, or coordinate with host government officials to obtain this information. The Department of State will exercise normal federal stewardship responsibilities during the implementation of programs. Department of State involvement will include, but is not limited to: site visits, review and response to performance, technical or subject matter involvement, review of financial reports, and audit of programs to ensure that the objectives, terms, and conditions of a grant award are accomplished. INL reserves the right to terminate or change an identified target country if the target country fails to properly cooperate with the program or for any other reason. Recipient(s) will maintain regular contact with the designated INL program officer(s) and will be required to obtain program office approval for (a) site selections, including both at the country level and local level; (b) any Cooperative Agreement amendment for new site selections; (c) any curriculum to be utilized during the course of the project; and (d) proposed foreign travel related to the project.
