Opportunity Information: Apply for INL 16CA0047 WHPELSALVADOR 06062016
The El Salvador Virtual Courts grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number INL 16CA0047 WHPELSALVADOR 06062016) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), focused on improving security and efficiency in El Salvador's justice sector. The project centers on implementing "virtual centers" that connect courtrooms with penitentiary facilities so that legal proceedings can take place remotely, reducing the need to physically transport incarcerated individuals to court. In practical terms, the funding supports the creation or strengthening of videoconferencing-enabled judicial spaces in both courts and prisons, along with the operational setup needed for those virtual hearings to function reliably and securely.
The core purpose of the initiative is to lower the costs and risks associated with inmate transfers. By avoiding routine transportation outside penitentiary centers, the project aims to significantly reduce expenses tied to vehicles, fuel, staffing, logistics, and security operations that typically accompany court appearances. Just as importantly, it is designed to reduce the chance of escape attempts and other negative outcomes that can occur during transport or at off-site court appearances. Overall, the opportunity reflects a broader public safety and institutional efficiency goal: modernizing how the justice system handles hearings involving inmates while improving control, predictability, and safety for corrections staff, court personnel, and the public.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates a more active role by the U.S. government agency in coordinating or overseeing aspects of project implementation compared with a standard grant. The total anticipated award amount is up to $1,200,000, with an expectation of making one award. The CFDA number listed is 19.703, aligning it with international narcotics control and law enforcement-related assistance programming, even though the specific activity category is labeled "Other." The funding opportunity was created on June 6, 2016, and the original application closing date was August 5, 2016.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In effect, the grant was aimed at qualified nonprofit implementers capable of delivering a technology-enabled justice sector project in partnership with relevant Salvadoran institutions. Based on the description, a competitive proposal would likely have needed to address not only the technical installation of virtual court capabilities, but also the procedures, training, and coordination required to make remote hearings routine, secure, and dependable across both court and penitentiary environments.Apply for INL 16CA0047 WHPELSALVADOR 06062016
