Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005060
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Countering Wildlife Trafficking in Central Africa" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005060). The opportunity is aimed at supporting projects that reduce poaching and the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products in Central Africa, a region identified as a major hotspot for trafficking. The program focus reflects INL's broader interest in disrupting transnational criminal networks by targeting the organized groups involved in moving high-value illicit commodities, in this case wildlife and related products.
The core purpose of the grant is to help dismantle criminal organizations that traffic in illegal wildlife products and to reduce overall wildlife trafficking flows in the region. The opportunity specifically highlights commonly trafficked items that are driving enforcement and conservation concerns, including ivory, pangolin scales, African grey parrots, and primates. By emphasizing these products, the notice signals that proposed projects should be grounded in real trafficking patterns and should address the criminal supply chains and enabling conditions that allow these trades to persist, rather than focusing only on isolated poaching incidents.
This funding opportunity is offered as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and is categorized under the funding activity area listed as "Other" (with further clarification referenced in the original notice's explanatory field). The assistance listing is associated with CFDA Number 19.705. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement, the notice indicates that applicants should consult the eligibility clarification in the complete solicitation to confirm whether their organization type qualifies and whether any geographic, partnership, or registration requirements apply.
Key administrative details include an announcement creation date of May 10, 2018, and an original application closing date of July 10, 2018. The maximum funding amount per award listed is an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The notice lists expected awards as 0, which typically indicates that the agency did not specify a projected number of awards in the summary data (or that awards were contingent on funding availability and application quality), so applicants would normally look to the full solicitation for more context about anticipated funding levels, project duration, and selection approach.
In practical terms, this opportunity is designed for projects that contribute to counter-wildlife trafficking outcomes in Central Africa by supporting efforts that make trafficking harder, riskier, and less profitable for organized criminal networks. Although the short description does not enumerate specific program activities, the stated goal of dismantling trafficking organizations implies an interest in interventions aligned with law enforcement and justice-sector approaches, cross-border and interagency coordination, and other measures that directly disrupt trafficking operations and reduce the movement of illegal wildlife products through the region.Apply for SFOP0005060
