Opportunity Information: Apply for INL22CA0016 WHPCOSRIC TECHASSTGBV 122021
The grant opportunity titled "Technical Assistance for Interinstitutional Response to Gender Based Violence in Costa Rica" is a U.S. Department of State initiative, run through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), aimed at strengthening how Costa Rican government institutions prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). The underlying problem it targets is the well-documented reality, highlighted by UN Women, that many women and girls face serious obstacles when trying to access justice. Survivors often avoid reporting violence because they expect disbelief, stigma, or dismissive treatment, and those experiences can discourage others from seeking help as well. In that context, the opportunity focuses on improving institutional capacity and coordination so that responses to GBV are more effective, survivor-centered, and consistent across agencies and communities.
This funding was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee would work closely with INL and likely coordinate regularly on implementation, outputs, and performance expectations. The program is designed to provide technical assistance to Government of Costa Rica (GOCR) agencies involved in GBV prevention, protection, and access to justice. A central expectation is that the selected implementer helps these agencies integrate the "Hacete Escuchar" tools into their existing programs and workflows. In practical terms, the emphasis is not on creating an entirely new standalone program, but on embedding proven tools and approaches into ongoing institutional efforts that already operate in communities, so improvements become part of routine practice rather than a temporary pilot.
The opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number INL22CA0016 (with listing text "WHPCOSRIC TECHASSTGBV 122021") and was associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.704. The total anticipated award amount could be up to $600,000, with one expected award, indicating a single implementing partner would likely lead the work and coordinate across multiple Costa Rican counterparts. The opportunity was posted on December 20, 2021, and the original application deadline was February 22, 2022.
Eligibility was broad enough to include several common implementer types that have experience delivering technical assistance and capacity-building: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions). This range suggests the sponsor was open to universities, research centers, and specialized nongovernmental organizations that can provide training, policy and protocol support, interagency coordination assistance, and other forms of structured technical guidance.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a targeted capacity-strengthening and systems-integration effort. It builds on four years of INL Gender and Security work in Costa Rica and responds to Costa Rican government interest in continuing and deepening those reforms. The key deliverable theme is integration: helping multiple GOCR agencies adopt and use the Hacete Escuchar tools within the real-world settings where prevention, protection services, and justice-sector processes happen, with the broader goal of reducing barriers survivors face and improving how institutions respond when violence is reported or suspected.Apply for INL22CA0016 WHPCOSRIC TECHASSTGBV 122021
