Description

Tajikistan is a critical counterterrorism nexus in Central Asia, a region ISIS-K seeks to exploit for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite vulnerabilities caused by Tajikistan's remote and rugged borders, which create risks of illicit movement, it appears the greatest terrorist risk to the region and U.S. security lies in the potential of terrorist groups to inspire, recruit, and organize Central Asians to commit attacks. This project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, with a focus in frontier localities. In doing so, this project builds Tajikistan's capability to interdict terrorist activity and movement through early detection, responding to terrorist activity at the source to protect America's borders and security.
Background
The Bureau of Counterterrorism at the U.S. Department of State is issuing a funding opportunity titled 'Tajikistan: Early Detection and Response Pilot' (Opportunity Number: DFOP0017310). This initiative aims to enhance counterterrorism efforts in Tajikistan, a region identified as a critical nexus for terrorist activities, particularly by ISIS-K.

The project focuses on developing early detection strategies to empower at-risk communities in detecting, reporting, and responding to illicit activities. This will strengthen Tajikistan's capabilities to interdict terrorist movements and protect U.S. security interests.

Grant Details
The project will involve several key tasks aimed at enhancing local capacities for early detection and response to terrorism. These tasks include:
1) Developing and training local governments and communities on early detection strategies;
2) Building relationships with key stakeholders at the community level;
3) Strengthening skills in remote Tajik localities for detecting and responding to illicit activities;
4) Improving communication and coordination among communities and security actors;
5) Training personnel to respond effectively to security crises.

The program is expected to produce specific outputs aligned with U.S. counterterrorism goals.
