--- ## Description This funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism aims to protect American economic and security interests by enhancing Pakistan’s law enforcement counterterrorism abilities, specifically in Balochistan Province. The program is designed to safeguard U.S. commercial access to critical minerals essential for technology, defense, and economic competitiveness by countering threats from terrorist organizations such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), ISIS-K, and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
