Opportunity Information: Apply for INL18CA0025 APAFGHANISTAN 05012018
The Kabul Female Prison and Detention Center Project is a U.S. Department of State program, managed through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), focused on improving both the immediate well-being and the long-term reintegration prospects of Afghan women and female juvenile inmates held in Kabul. The central idea is practical: conditions inside detention matter, but what happens after release often determines whether women and girls can live safely, rebuild family relationships, and support themselves without being pulled back into crisis or exploitation. The project is designed to combine education, legal support, social services, and basic humanitarian assistance into one coordinated effort that starts during incarceration and continues after release.
A major component of the opportunity is education and skills-building for incarcerated women and girls so they can return to their communities with tools that translate into real independence. Alongside inmate-focused programming, the project also includes education and day care for the children of imprisoned women, recognizing that mothers in detention often face an added burden: worry about their children and the lack of stable child support. By addressing child care and learning needs, the program aims to reduce harm to children while also making it more realistic for mothers to participate in training or services inside the facility.
The project places strong emphasis on professional support that helps women navigate the complicated period leading up to release. It calls for employing social workers who can act as mediators between inmates approaching release and their families, helping to resolve conflicts, reduce stigma, and negotiate safe return arrangements when possible. In parallel, it funds legal assistance by employing lawyers to support detainees and inmates with defense needs, trials, appeals, and efforts to obtain early release when legally justified. This legal aid element is meant to address common barriers such as limited access to representation, lack of understanding of legal processes, and procedural delays that can prolong detention or undermine fair outcomes.
Another practical element is the distribution of necessary medical and hygiene supplies as needed. This speaks to basic health and dignity concerns in detention settings, where shortages of routine items can quickly become serious health risks. The project is not only intended to provide supplies, but to do so in a way that responds to actual needs on the ground during implementation.
Finally, the opportunity requires follow-up with released inmates to monitor their status after they leave custody. That post-release contact is meant to track well-being, identify urgent risks, and support continued reintegration, acknowledging that release is not a finish line. Many women and girls face heightened vulnerability immediately after leaving detention, including unstable housing, family rejection, safety threats, or lack of income. Continued monitoring is intended to help the program measure outcomes while also providing a basic continuity of support during a high-risk transition period.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects substantial involvement and coordination during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant. The opportunity number is INL18CA0025, and it falls under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services activity category (CFDA 19.703). The program anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $425,000. The funding opportunity was created on April 26, 2018, with an original closing date of June 8, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement’s eligibility section.Apply for INL18CA0025 APAFGHANISTAN 05012018
