Opportunity Information: Apply for INL WHPBELIZE 16GR0064 09052016
The Citizen Security through Neighborhood Watch grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It is focused on law, justice, and legal services and is designed to support efforts in Belize to expand and improve citizen security by building stronger Neighborhood Watch structures. The core idea is to increase public safety through organized, community-led participation, specifically by creating new neighborhood watch groups and strengthening existing ones so they can operate effectively over the long term without constant external support.
The project described in the notice aims to develop self-sustaining community neighborhood watch groups as a practical tool for preventing and responding to local safety issues. Rather than treating citizen security only as a police function, the program emphasizes community organization and collective action. In practical terms, this typically means establishing basic neighborhood watch frameworks, improving coordination among residents, and promoting consistent routines and practices that help communities identify risks early, share information responsibly, and engage with local authorities in a structured way. The emphasis on "self-sustaining" signals that proposed activities should build durable capacity in communities, such as leadership development, governance structures, volunteer management, and simple operating procedures that can continue after the grant period ends.
The opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number INL WHPBELIZE 16GR0064 09052016 and falls under CFDA 19.703. Awards are made using a grant instrument, and the maximum award amount listed is $600,000. The opportunity was created on September 6, 2016, with an original application closing date of November 5, 2016. While the listing notes "ExpectedAwards:" without specifying a number, the ceiling indicates the upper limit that any single award under this opportunity could reach, and applicants would generally be expected to propose a budget and scope that fit within that cap.
Eligibility is broad and includes several types of institutions that could realistically implement community safety programming. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). This mix suggests INL was open to proposals from universities with relevant expertise, as well as local or international nonprofits capable of community mobilization, training, and program administration. Overall, the grant opportunity is centered on strengthening neighborhood-level prevention and community engagement as a way to improve citizen security outcomes in Belize.Apply for INL WHPBELIZE 16GR0064 09052016
