Opportunity Information: Apply for INL19GR0004 EAFAM MOLDOVAN 10162018
The grant opportunity titled "Establishing a Family Justice Center in Moldova" (Funding Opportunity Number INL19GR0004) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program, managed through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), aimed at strengthening Moldova's response to domestic violence and gender-based violence. Building on years of U.S. Embassy support in Chisinau for efforts such as training police officers, prosecutors, and judges and running public awareness campaigns, this project focuses on creating a new, more coordinated service model for survivors. The overall intent is to move beyond isolated interventions and toward a structured, survivor-centered approach that improves access to justice and support services while reducing the burden on victims who typically must navigate multiple institutions on their own.
At the core of the opportunity is the establishment of a pilot Family Justice Center (FJC) in Moldova using up to $800,000 in FY 2017 Rule of Law funds. A Family Justice Center is described as a non-residential specialized facility that brings multiple, inter-disciplinary services together in one location for people who have experienced violence, trauma, or abuse. The idea is to co-locate the key partners a survivor may need, which commonly includes law enforcement support, legal assistance, victim advocacy, counseling and trauma services, and connections to social services, so that survivors can get help through a coordinated team rather than being sent from office to office. This model is widely recognized in the United States as an effective best practice for addressing domestic violence and sexual assault, including recognition by the U.S. Department of Justice, and it has been formalized in U.S. policy history through the Violence Against Women Act, which created a dedicated purpose area for Family Justice Centers in 2005.
The opportunity emphasizes that this is a proven model with broad adoption and institutional backing. Family Justice Centers exist across 40 U.S. states and in more than 20 countries, positioning the proposed Moldovan center as part of an established international approach rather than an experimental concept. The Government of Moldova has also expressed interest in cooperating on the development of the pilot center, which signals an expectation of local buy-in and coordination with Moldovan counterparts as the project is designed and implemented. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to translate the FJC concept into a functioning local institution in Moldova, adapted to the local legal system, victim services landscape, and referral pathways.
Administratively, the award is structured as a grant with a maximum award ceiling of $800,000, and the program anticipates making one award. The activity category is listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services under CFDA number 19.703. The opportunity was created on October 16, 2018, with an original closing date of December 17, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that clarification would be found in the opportunity's additional eligibility information, suggesting that eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicants and could include organizations able to implement rule-of-law and victim support programming, such as nongovernmental organizations or other qualified entities depending on the specific eligibility language in the full notice.
Overall, the grant is designed to accelerate Moldova's progress in combating domestic and gender-based violence by funding a centralized service hub that improves coordination among justice and support actors, reduces barriers to reporting and receiving help, and aligns Moldova's victim response services with a model that has demonstrated success internationally. The single-award structure and relatively substantial funding level suggest the Department of State is looking for one capable implementer to plan, launch, and operationalize a pilot Family Justice Center that can serve as a scalable model for future replication in Moldova.Apply for INL19GR0004 EAFAM MOLDOVAN 10162018
