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 Tajikistan: Early Detection and Response Pilot is a funding opportunity aimed at enhancing counterterrorism efforts in Tajikistan, a critical nexus for ISIS-K activities in Central Asia. The project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to identify, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, particularly in frontier localities. This initiative aims to bolster Tajikistan's capabilities to interdict terrorist activities and protect U.S. borders and security.

Grant Details
The project will involve developing early detection strategies tailored for at-risk communities, focusing on identifying key stakeholders during the inception phase. The program will prioritize consultation with Counterterrorism (CT) and embassy stakeholders to determine targeted frontier localities and private sector entities. A preliminary logic model must be included within the 12-page proposal narrative, demonstrating the applicant's ability to create an effective model. Additionally, a Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) template will be utilized, which should also fit within the 12-page limit. Applicants are not required to submit a Performance Indicator Tracking Table (PITT) as part of their proposal; it will be developed post-award.
