Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007443
The grant opportunity titled "DRL FY2020: Promoting the Rights and Reintegration of Young Moroccans During and After Detention" is a U.S. Department of State program aimed at supporting work in Morocco that improves how young people are treated in detention and how they transition back into society once released. It is offered through the Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), which funds projects that advance rule of law, human rights protections, and accountable governance. In practical terms, the opportunity is looking for project proposals that can strengthen legal safeguards and rights protections for young Moroccans in custody, while also addressing the difficult reintegration period after detention, when people often face barriers like stigma, lack of services, disrupted education, limited job prospects, and ongoing contact with the justice system.
This funding is being offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government generally expects to have a more active role in the project than it would under a standard grant. Cooperative agreements often involve ongoing coordination, shared planning, or closer monitoring and engagement with the award recipient during implementation. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 19.345, which corresponds to programs administered by DRL.
The funding opportunity number is SFOP0007443. The announcement was created on November 30, 2020, with an original application deadline of January 29, 2021. The award ceiling is $750,000, and the program anticipated making one award, which usually signals that DRL intended to fund a single, relatively comprehensive project rather than multiple smaller projects. Because only one award was expected, the competition likely favored proposals that could demonstrate strong on-the-ground partnerships, a clear strategy, and credible capacity to deliver measurable results at a meaningful scale.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional details normally provided in the full announcement under an eligibility section. In DRL competitions, this category often includes a range of applicants such as non-governmental organizations, non-profits, civil society groups, and potentially certain educational or research institutions, depending on the specific notice language. The overall goal is to attract qualified organizations that can design and implement rights-based programming and can work effectively with local stakeholders, including community organizations, legal aid providers, social workers, and reintegration support networks.
At its core, this opportunity is about protecting young people from rights violations in detention and reducing the chances that detention leads to long-term harm or repeated involvement with the justice system. Projects under this theme commonly focus on improving access to legal counsel and due process protections, monitoring detention conditions, strengthening complaint and accountability mechanisms, and ensuring that young detainees understand their rights. On the reintegration side, typical approaches can include case management, psychosocial support, education or vocational pathways, family reunification assistance, connections to health and social services, and efforts to reduce stigma so that young people can return to school, find work, and rebuild stable community relationships. While the short public description does not list required activities, it clearly anchors the competition in DRL's standard priorities: reinforcing the rule of law, safeguarding human rights, and promoting good governance through practical, implementable programs.
In summary, SFOP0007443 is a single-award DRL cooperative agreement opportunity, capped at $750,000, designed to fund a project in Morocco that promotes the rights of young people during detention and supports their reintegration afterward, in line with broader U.S. foreign assistance goals related to rule of law, human rights, and governance.Apply for SFOP0007443
