Law Enforcement and Rule of Law Programs for Countries in Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama): INL invites organizations to submit proposals outlining program concepts and capacity to manage projects targeting the following issues throughout Central America: CARSI Strategic Objective: Governing Justly and Democratically. Project: Forensics Capacity Building Up to $1,500,000 available: INL seeks proposals that will assist in building the capacity of Central American countries to collect, analyze, and present in a legal proceeding forensic evidence to reduce criminal impunity and improve citizen safety. These proposals may include targeted technical assistance, training, and equipment expenditures to address crime scene forensics evidence collection and management; improve forensics laboratory capacity; and enhance judicial system actors capabilities to use that forensic evidence appropriately. Forensic procedural training and recommendations on equipment or low tech solutions may be required. All programs will be coordinated with assessments being conducted by INL forensics advisor. Background: The explosive growth in criminality over the last two years as transnational criminal organizations have expanded operations outside of Mexico, and long standing societal pressures have boiled over, have resulted in a widespread deterioration in citizen security in Central America. Inadequate investment in security and rule of law institutions have resulted in high impunity rates. The proper use of forensics evidence by Central American authorities may enhance their ability to reduce these high rates of impunity.INL seeks proposals that improve the forensics capabilities of police, lab technicians, judicial investigators, prosecutors and judges in Central America, as well as assistance to enhance coordination between these entities and avoid expensive duplication. INL is currently conducting forensics assessments of all the Central American countries to comprehensively understand the widely varying capabilities and assess current gaps in training, equipment, analysis, and legal procedure. It is anticipated that these assessments conducted by a forensics advisor will help inform the grantee in their programmatic decisions.
