Program description
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a logistics and travel support project that strengthens public security, justice, and combats illicit drug trafficking and transnational organized crime. Through this cooperative agreement, the grantee will provide logistical, operational, and technical support to the Government of Honduras (GOH) to enhance its ability to prevent, investigate, and prosecute crimes, especially those linked to narcotics trafficking, corruption, and transnational organized crime.
The project’s goal is to improve the operational readiness, professionalism, and coordination of Honduran law enforcement and justice sector institutions. Activities will include managing and supporting training and professional development events; coordinating travel and logistics for operations; conducting procurement of supplies, services, and equipment required for training delivery and operational support; ensuring cost-effectiveness, transparency, and compliance with applicable U.S. Government acquisition regulations; providing limited equipment and maintenance support, and strengthening institutional systems that help government agencies work more efficiently and transparently.
This project benefits Honduran law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, judges, and other justice sector actors who participate in INL-supported initiatives, as well as third-country national (TCN) advisors who provide technical or operational assistance. By improving the government’s ability to respond to crime and uphold justice, the project helps make both Honduras and the United States safer and more secure.
