Description
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism, seeks proposals to enhance early-warning, threat detection, and response systems in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, with the aim of safeguarding U.S. economic interests—particularly those related to the natural resource sector and U.S. commercial operations. The two-year cooperative agreement will support the development of effective information exchange channels between the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) and local communities, provide specialized training to PRM units, and deploy a dedicated mentor to reinforce new procedures and ensure sustainability of capacity. The initiative emphasizes actionable intelligence, community engagement, and operational readiness to preempt threats to U.S. companies and personnel.
