Opportunity Information: Apply for DKR NOFO FY18 01
The Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Project - Senegal is a discretionary grant opportunity announced by the U.S. Embassy in Dakar under the U.S. Department of State. It invites eligible organizations to compete for funding to design and run one or more programs aimed at preventing and countering violent extremism, with an emphasis on practical, community-facing efforts that reduce recruitment risk and strengthen local resistance to extremist influence. The opportunity is administered through the Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs via U.S. Embassy Dakar and sits within TSCTP, the U.S. Government's multi-year, interagency framework for working with Sahel and Maghreb partner countries to improve civilian, military, and law enforcement capacity to counter terrorism and the spread of violent extremism.
Geographically, proposals can be focused solely on Senegal or structured as regional projects as long as activities take place in Senegal and at least one additional eligible partner country: Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, or Nigeria. This makes the program suitable both for organizations with deep roots in Senegal and for groups that already operate across borders in the Sahel and can connect Senegal-based prevention work to wider regional dynamics such as cross-border movement, messaging networks, and shared community vulnerabilities in border and economically marginalized areas.
Programmatically, the Embassy signals several priority themes for proposed activities. One major objective is building resilience in communities that are considered vulnerable to violent extremist recruitment, which can include strengthening social cohesion, improving community problem-solving, promoting nonviolent conflict resolution, and reinforcing trusted local structures that can identify and address grievances before they are exploited. A second theme is offering positive alternatives for at-risk populations, meaning programs that provide constructive pathways and credible opportunities that reduce the appeal of extremist groups, particularly for young people and others facing limited economic or social prospects. A third priority is strengthening civil society capacity to counter violent extremism, which could involve training and support for local organizations, coalition-building, community leadership development, and improving the ability of civil society to coordinate with local stakeholders while remaining community-trusted. A fourth theme focuses on counter-messaging and narrative efforts, supporting initiatives that challenge violent extremist propaganda and provide credible, locally resonant narratives that discourage recruitment and undermine extremist legitimacy.
The intended participants and audiences are broad, but the opportunity specifically highlights groups that are commonly targeted by extremist recruitment or are key to prevention ecosystems. These include youth, residents of border regions and economically disadvantaged areas, civil society actors, local leaders, and journalists. In practice, this indicates a preference for proposals that work through community influencers and information channels, strengthen local prevention networks, and engage populations most likely to encounter recruitment pressures or extremist messaging, whether in person or through media.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity number is DKR NOFO FY18 01. The CFDA number listed is 19.700, and the issuing agency is the U.S. Mission to Senegal. The award ceiling is $200,000.
