Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS DARESSALAAM CVEFY
The U.S. Department of State (U.S. Mission to Tanzania) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Conflict Assessment and Pilot Project along Tanzania/Kenya Coastal Border" (Funding Opportunity Number: DOS DARESSALAAM CVEFY). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected implementer should expect an active partnership with the U.S. government during implementation rather than operating completely independently. The opportunity was created on June 25, 2019, closed on August 9, 2019, and was designed to result in a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $395,000.
At its core, the grant supports two tightly linked pieces of work. First, the implementer must design and conduct a detailed conflict assessment focused on the coastal border region between Tanzania and Kenya. This assessment is expected to go beyond surface-level descriptions and instead map the underlying drivers of conflict, including violent extremist dynamics and the influence or presence of terrorist groups such as al-Shabaab. The assessment should document key contextual factors, identify conflict patterns and trends over time, and clarify how local conditions and cross-border dynamics interact. A major emphasis is understanding communal and intercommunal relationships, including the social, political, economic, and identity-based ties that can either worsen tensions or help communities manage disputes before they escalate.
Second, the opportunity requires translating assessment findings into a practical pilot project. The pilot is meant to apply what the assessment uncovers in order to strengthen local capacity to prevent the spread or escalation of the most pressing conflict issues in the region. The work is not limited to analysis; it is explicitly aimed at equipping local actors to manage cross-border conflict challenges in real time and building a base for possible follow-on funding. In other words, the assessment should generate actionable recommendations, identify feasible intervention points, and inform a pilot that demonstrates what works on the ground.
A key deliverable across both phases is the identification and development of credible local partners and influencers. The assessment should pinpoint regional influencers, local leaders, and organizations that have the legitimacy and ability to address cross-border conflict drivers. This includes actors who can convene communities, mediate disputes, counter recruitment narratives, or reduce vulnerabilities that extremist groups exploit. The project also asks implementers to identify which of these leaders and organizations could carry forward conflict management efforts in the pilot phase and potentially scale their impact through future funding.
Training and capacity building are central requirements. The implementer is expected to train up to 40 local leaders and/or organizations in total, with an equal distribution on both sides of the Tanzania-Kenya border. If an applicant proposes a different number of trainees, the proposal must clearly justify why the adjustment is necessary, for example due to local absorption capacity, security constraints, the need for deeper training with fewer participants, or the value of expanding participation to include additional high-impact stakeholders. The clear intent is to produce a cohort of better-prepared local actors with practical skills and tools to engage in prevention and conflict mitigation.
The opportunity strongly encourages collaboration with local research organizations in both Tanzania and Kenya. The implementer should prioritize capacity-building partnerships with these institutions as part of the assessment process, both to improve the quality and local accuracy of conflict analysis and to leave behind sustainable skills and relationships after the project ends. This signals that the funder values locally grounded research approaches, shared ownership of findings, and long-term regional capacity rather than a one-off external study.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding is associated with CFDA number 19.701, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting a specialized focus on conflict assessment, prevention, and localized resilience in a cross-border coastal setting. Overall, the grant is designed to produce a robust, locally informed understanding of conflict dynamics along the Tanzania-Kenya coast and to immediately apply that understanding through a targeted pilot that strengthens local leadership and organizational capacity to reduce conflict risks and counter destabilizing influences, including violent extremism.Apply for DOS DARESSALAAM CVEFY
