Increasing Access to Justice for Vulnerable Populations in the Central African Republic
Active
Bureau of International Narcotics-Law Enforcement
The Bureau of International Narcotics-Law Enforcement, under the U.S. Department of State, is seeking applications for a project to increase access to justice in the Central African Republic (CAR). This project aims to provide basic access to justice services in rural regions and for vulnerable populations in CAR, such as children, elderly, widows, orphans, LGBTQI+ individuals, and victims of sexual- and gender-based violence (SGBV). The justice institutions in CAR lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to effectively provide legal services to a significant portion of the population, particularly in remote and conflict-affected communities. The project seeks to address this issue by improving knowledge of the court system operations, available legal protections, and facilitating access to courts. The absence of accessible, functional, and credible justice institutions has a profound impact on the lives of marginalized populations in CAR, increasing the risk of physical violence. The funding for this project is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000, with an expected number of two awards. Private institutions of higher education, U.S.-based non-profit/non-governmental organizations (NGOs), U.S.-based educational institutions, foreign-based non-profits/NGOs, and foreign-based educational institutions are eligible to apply. Applicants must also demonstrate business registration in the Central African Republic. The deadline for applications is August 5, 2024.
