Opportunity Information: Apply for INL20GR0018 EDUCATION AFGHANISTAN 022520
The Afghanistan Legal Aid through Legal Education (LALE) opportunity is a U.S. Department of State grant from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) focused on strengthening Afghanistan's rule of law by linking legal education with real-world legal aid services. The project is designed to reinforce a criminal justice system that is more accountable, effective, and fair, while also supporting legal frameworks and standards that promote citizen security and stable governance. A major emphasis is placed on improving the enforcement and advancement of womens legal rights, reflecting the broader goal of expanding access to justice for populations that face barriers to legal protection and representation.
This funding supports a second phase of work, described as LALE Phase II, and is intended to build on the foundation of an earlier LALE project. The central idea is to continue improving legal education and, at the same time, expand practical pathways for Afghans to obtain legal assistance. The project specifically targets three outcomes. First, it aims to increase access to justice by supporting implementation of the Afghan governments 2019 legal aid regulation, which is meant to structure and expand legal aid services. Second, it seeks to provide supplementary, practical legal education, meaning hands-on training that helps law students or early-career legal professionals develop skills that translate directly into competent legal representation and courtroom readiness. Third, it aims to create sustainability for LALE initiatives so that progress continues beyond the grant period, rather than depending indefinitely on outside support.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant in the Law, Justice and Legal Services category (CFDA 19.705). The funding opportunity number is INL20GR0018 (labeled EDUCATION AFGHANISTAN 022520), and it was posted on February 25, 2020, with an original closing date of April 10, 2020. INL anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of up to 4,000,000 USD. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice, indicating that prospective applicants would need to review the detailed eligibility language in the official announcement to confirm they qualify.
Overall, the grant is structured around a practical rule-of-law strategy: strengthen the pipeline of trained legal professionals, expand legal aid through the national regulatory framework, and ensure those services and training efforts endure over time. The combination of legal aid implementation, applied legal education, and sustainability planning is meant to improve how justice is accessed and delivered, while advancing broader public security and rights protections, including stronger support for womens legal rights within Afghan legal systems.Apply for INL20GR0018 EDUCATION AFGHANISTAN 022520
