Opportunity Information: Apply for INL19GR0003 EALEGAL MOLDOVAN 10162018
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Legal Socialization in Moldovan Schools" (Funding Opportunity Number INL19GR0003). The program was designed to build on years of U.S. support to Moldova's General Police Inspectorate and Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a particular focus on strengthening public trust in the police, a priority identified in Moldova's 2016-2020 Police Development Plan. Although trust levels had improved, INL framed this grant as a chance to push that progress further by expanding police-community engagement into the school environment, where long-term attitudes and behaviors are shaped.
At its core, the opportunity aimed to connect police officers, teachers, and local communities in practical, school-based activities that reach young people early and consistently. INL sought approaches that help prevent juvenile delinquency while also improving students' understanding of civic rights and responsibilities. The concept goes beyond one-off presentations; it emphasizes collaboration and relationship-building between youth and law enforcement, using schools as the main platform to create more constructive, routine contact that can reduce fear, misinformation, and mistrust.
A major theme of the program was promoting a shift toward restorative justice thinking within not only the police, but also courts and the broader community. That means encouraging responses to youth misbehavior and minor offenses that focus more on accountability, repairing harm, and reintegration rather than purely punitive measures. Alongside delinquency prevention and civic education, the program also prioritized awareness-raising among Moldovan youth about serious and widespread issues that affect safety and rights, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking in persons. The intent was to ensure students are better informed about these risks, understand available protections and services, and recognize how to seek help or report concerns.
INL indicated it was looking for creative, proactive, community-based models, specifically those that bring communities and law enforcement together in schools in a way that is visible, sustained, and locally grounded. The award structure anticipated one grant, with an award ceiling of USD 650,000, funded under FY 2016 Law Enforcement Reform Funds. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category fell under Law, Justice and Legal Services (CFDA 19.703). The opportunity was posted on October 16, 2018, with an original closing date of December 17, 2018. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification intended to be provided in the funding notice's additional eligibility information.Apply for INL19GR0003 EALEGAL MOLDOVAN 10162018
