Opportunity Information: Apply for INL18CA0007 EA ARMENIA 12202017
The Chamber of Advocates and Public Defender Communications Development in Armenia grant opportunity is a small, targeted U.S. Department of State program designed to help two key Armenian justice-sector institutions improve how they communicate with the public and with their own stakeholders. The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is looking for an organization that can build a practical, sustainable communications function for the Chamber of Advocates and the Public Defender's Office of Armenia, not just produce one-off materials. The core idea is to strengthen public-facing outreach and internal communications capacity so these institutions can explain their roles, share information consistently, and engage citizens more effectively over time.
The requested work centers on developing a full communications strategy and the tools needed to implement it. This includes creating the content and overall framework for ongoing communications products such as a quarterly newsletter and a monthly video blog (vlog) called "Advocates Corner." In addition to the products themselves, the award emphasizes building staff expertise, meaning the selected organization is expected to transfer knowledge, establish workable processes, and help institutional staff learn how to plan, produce, and sustain communications activities after the project ends. The opportunity also references recurring thematic internal workshops, public discussions, or information sessions, suggesting the program expects structured events or training sessions that reinforce the communications strategy and support continuing outreach.
INL is specifically signaling what a competitive proposal should look like. Priority is given to applications that are results-oriented, demonstrate sustainability, can identify qualified trainers, and include strong monitoring and evaluation elements. In practice, that means proposals should clearly define measurable outcomes (for example, communications outputs delivered on schedule, improvements in staff skills, increased engagement, or more consistent messaging), show how the institutions will keep the newsletter, vlog, and related outreach running beyond the grant period, and explain how trainers will be selected and what expertise they bring. A strong evaluation plan would typically include performance indicators, baseline and follow-up measures (such as staff capability assessments, audience reach metrics, or stakeholder feedback), and a plan for using findings to improve communications products over the life of the project.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number listed is 19.703. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where applicable). The opportunity was created on December 20, 2017, with an original application deadline of March 20, 2018.
In terms of scale, the program is modest and competitive. INL anticipated making a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $50,000 and expected awards of 1. That structure suggests the project scope is meant to be focused and achievable within a limited budget, emphasizing efficient planning, clear deliverables, and a strong handover to institutional staff. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building communications initiative for Armenian legal institutions, pairing strategic planning and content development with training and evaluation to ensure lasting impact.Apply for INL18CA0007 EA ARMENIA 12202017
