Countering Terrorist Financing Flows In and Through Tajikistan

The Countering Terrorist Financing Flows In and Through Tajikistan grant opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of State through its Bureau of Counterterrorism. This program is part of the broader Global Counterterrorism Programs assistance listing and reflects the Department’s strategic priority to disrupt and degrade terrorist networks by targeting their financial infrastructure. The Bureau of Counterterrorism works globally with partner governments and institutions to strengthen legal frameworks, investigative capabilities, and international cooperation mechanisms aimed at preventing terrorism and related financial crimes. The primary purpose of this funding opportunity is to strengthen Tajikistan’s capacity to counter terrorist financing, particularly vulnerabilities that may be exploited by groups such as ISIS-K. The Financial Action Task Force has identified significant deficiencies in Tajikistan’s anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism framework, including gaps in investigative capacity, coordination challenges among domestic agencies, and limited access to financial intelligence. This grant seeks to address these deficiencies by supporting programs that improve the country’s ability to detect, investigate, and prosecute terrorist financing activities in alignment with international standards. Funding under this opportunity is intended to support technical assistance, curriculum development, and case-based mentoring. Applicants are expected to design and deliver training programs that enhance the skills of financial investigators, prosecutors, and relevant government personnel. Activities may include development of specialized training modules, workshops, simulation exercises, and ongoing advisory support. The project must focus on building sustainable institutional capacity and improving coordination mechanisms within Tajikistan’s legal and financial systems. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this grant. Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and inclusive, allowing participation from not-for-profit organizations such as think tanks and non-governmental organizations, public and private educational institutions, for-profit organizations, public international organizations, and governmental institutions. This wide eligibility scope reflects the technical and specialized nature of the work, which may require expertise from academic, private sector, and international entities. Applicants must demonstrate relevant experience in counterterrorism, financial investigations, or related technical assistance programs. The application process requires submission through Grants.gov by the stated deadline. While the summary information does not list detailed application components, typical submissions for Department of State grants include a technical proposal, budget narrative, organizational capacity documentation, and evidence of past performance. Applicants should ensure compliance with federal grant submission requirements, including registration in SAM.gov and Grants.gov prior to submission. The application window opened on April 9, 2026, and closes on June 8, 2026. There are no indications of recurring funding cycles or rolling submissions for this opportunity, suggesting a single competitive round. Award decisions and project timelines are not specified in the summary but are typically communicated following a review and evaluation process conducted by the Bureau of Counterterrorism.
