Supports initiatives to strengthen security of critical transit routes in northern Mozambique and protect U.S. economic interests through law enforcement training, equipment, and mentorship.

--- ## Description This funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism aims to enhance the security of key transit corridors in northern Mozambique, specifically the N380 and N1 highways leading into Cabo Delgado. The initiative is designed to protect U.S. economic interests and facilitate safer movement for U.S. companies, personnel, and goods in the region, which is of growing economic significance. The program will provide the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) with specialized training, non-lethal equipment, and targeted mentorship. The goal is to enable law enforcement to detect, deter, and respond to terrorist threats more effectively, thereby reducing the risk of attacks and disruptions along these vital routes. The initiative is intended as a two-year, time-bound investment to build Mozambican capacity to independently secure these transit routes and sustain operations beyond the grant period. Expected outcomes include: - Strengthened critical infrastructure security and resilience using U.S.-approved approaches. - Improved counterterrorism law enforcement effectiveness to protect U.S. interests and the homeland. - Enhanced crisis-response skills, tactical medicine, and leadership within Mozambican law enforcement. - Increased operational standards and real-time guidance through on-the-ground mentorship. --- ## Due Dates - **April 24, 2026**: Deadline for receipt of applicant questions (by 5:00 P.M.
