Opportunity Information: Apply for INL21CA0046AMEBURKINAF ROADSAFETY 052721
The Burkina Faso Road Safety Initiative is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) funding opportunity that supports a project aimed at helping Burkinabe law enforcement use road safety as a practical way to rebuild public trust and strengthen the "social contract" between citizens and the state. In this context, "road safety" is not limited to traffic accidents; it also covers prevention and emergency response, plus public engagement and advocacy designed to reduce both traffic fatalities and criminal activity on or around roads. That broader scope explicitly includes problems like banditry as well as corruption linked to roadside policing and enforcement.
The opportunity is rooted in the U.S. government’s recent emphasis on strengthening justice and law enforcement institutions in Burkina Faso, particularly as insecurity, distrust in government services, and corruption affect daily life. INL and the U.S. Embassy ("Post") point to prior programming that brought together civil society organizations and law enforcement to build trust, educate the public, reduce corruption, and communicate results. This new project continues that trajectory, using the everyday experience of road travel and roadside interactions as an entry point for improving government legitimacy and service delivery in a way citizens can see and feel directly.
The grant highlights three main outcomes Burkina Faso could pursue through this work. First is improving service delivery related to road safety, including both prevention (safer practices, enforcement that protects rather than preys on road users, and measures that reduce crashes) and response (how authorities react when incidents occur). Second is reducing traffic-related corruption and abuse of power, recognizing that bribery, intimidation, and predatory enforcement undermine confidence in the state and can deepen grievances. Third is effectively marketing and communicating any reforms while actively involving citizens, so the public understands what is changing, why it matters, and how they can participate. Communication and messaging are treated as crosscutting priorities throughout, because reforms that are not visible or understood may not translate into increased trust.
The expected theory of change is that combining better road safety services, reduced corruption, and strong public communication can motivate both law enforcement personnel and communities to engage in more constructive relationships. The initiative aims to promote transparency, accountability, dialogue, and measurable performance improvements, with the idea that this will reduce key drivers of distrust and poor service delivery. Over time, the program is also framed as contributing to prevention of violent extremism by addressing governance-related grievances and everyday harms that can fuel resentment and instability.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government anticipates substantial involvement during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant. It falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is listed under CFDA number 19.703. The agency anticipated making a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $815,000. The notice was created on May 27, 2021, with an original closing date of June 30, 2021. The opportunity number is INL21CA0046AMEBURKINAF ROADSAFETY 052721, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice.Apply for INL21CA0046AMEBURKINAF ROADSAFETY 052721
