Opportunity Information: Apply for INL22CA0042 WHPELSAL CSCOMPLAINT 050422
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), launched a discretionary funding opportunity to support a project called "Establishing a Civil Society Anti-Impunity Complaint Platform" (Funding Opportunity Number: INL22CA0042 WHPELSAL CSCOMPLAINT 050422). The program is designed for work in El Salvador and centers on creating and promoting a secure, practical system that people can use to submit corruption-related complaints. The intent is not only to collect reports, but to help develop those submissions into actionable cases and refer them to appropriate actors, including civil society organizations, independent institutions involved in anti-corruption efforts, and relevant host-country institutions. A parallel emphasis is placed on citizen education so that the public understands how to use the platform safely and effectively, with the larger objective of reducing corruption-related impunity.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from INL rather than operating as a fully hands-off grant. The funding activity area is categorized under law, justice, and legal services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 19.703. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" (with further clarification referenced in the original eligibility text field), the competition is open to organizations capable of building and operating a trusted complaint intake and case-referral mechanism that can function effectively in a sensitive governance environment and prioritize safety for users and partners.
In terms of scale and timeline, the notice was created on May 4, 2022, and had an original application closing date of July 5, 2022. The stated award ceiling is up to $6,000,000, and INL anticipated making approximately seven awards. Taken together, the opportunity signals a relatively significant investment in multiple implementers or a portfolio of projects that align with the core goal: strengthening accountability by giving citizens and civil society a safer, more reliable way to report corruption, improve the quality and follow-through of complaints, and connect credible cases to institutions positioned to act on them.Apply for INL22CA0042 WHPELSAL CSCOMPLAINT 050422
