Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009433
The Maldives Rehabilitation and Reintegration Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009433) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant competition administered by the Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT). It is designed to strengthen Maldives' ability to manage the rehabilitation and reintegration of returning individuals and victims through support to the National Reintegration Center (NRC). The core aim is practical capacity building: helping the NRC improve how it delivers rehabilitative care and how it manages reintegration services so they are consistent, accountable, and aligned with UN minimum standards and recognized international best practices.
A major focus of the work is the establishment and refinement of standard operating procedures (SOPs). In practice, this means applicants are expected to help the NRC formalize and improve step-by-step guidance for staff and partners, including how cases are received and assessed, how services are delivered over time, how information is documented and protected, how referrals to other service providers are handled, and how outcomes are monitored. The grant also emphasizes program development and improvement in several key areas, specifically childcare, rehabilitation services, and reintegration support. This points to an expectation that the selected project will address the needs of children and families, and ensure that the NRC has structured, safe, and effective approaches to care and long-term reintegration planning.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership by the U.S. Department of State during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, coordination, or performance monitoring. The opportunity falls under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 19.017 and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity type, suggesting it is a specialized counterterrorism-related assistance effort rather than a standard sector label. The program anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $543,209, meaning proposals would generally need to fit within that maximum budget level.
Eligibility for this competition is limited to private institutions of higher education, which implies the Department is seeking applicants with academic or research capacity that can support evidence-informed program design, training, standard-setting, and evaluation. The opportunity was posted on February 16, 2023, with an original application deadline of April 19, 2023. Overall, the grant is centered on strengthening institutional procedures and service delivery at the NRC so Maldives can better support safe, humane, and effective rehabilitation and reintegration outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, in a manner that reflects internationally accepted standards.Apply for SFOP0009433
