Description
This opportunity from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism funds projects to counter terrorist financing flows in and through Tajikistan, focusing on vulnerabilities in the country’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime. The program aims to address deficiencies identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), particularly Tajikistan’s limited capacity to conduct parallel financial investigations, utilize financial data, and coordinate domestically. Funded activities should provide technical assistance, develop tailored curricula, and offer case-based mentoring to improve Tajikistan’s ability to investigate and prosecute terrorist financing cases, supporting U.S. and international security objectives.
Proposals should address the four CT program outcomes:
- Denying terrorist networks the ability to raise, store, and move funds by supporting legal and regulatory reforms.
- Strengthening investigation and prosecution of terrorist financing through interagency and international collaboration.
- Enhancing the capacity to collect, analyze, and disseminate financial intelligence.
- Increasing private sector awareness and reporting of suspicious transactions.
The project should engage relevant Tajik institutions (e.g., Prosecutor General’s Office, Customs, Financial Intelligence Unit) and may include regional activities, but the majority of work must be in Tajikistan.
