Submission deadline:  June 22, 2021.

U.S. Embassy Dushanbe announces а new Request for Proposals under the 2021-2022 Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP).  The purpose of the program is to award small grants for specific projects that promote an anti-drug message to communities and demographic groups that are identified as particularly vulnerable to drug addiction.

The project should:

  • Raise awareness of at-risk groups about the dangers of drugs;
  • Promote healthy lifestyles and alternatives to drug abuse;
  • Focus on а geographic area or areas where problems with drug use are more prevalent;
  • Promote an anti-drug message to communities and demographic groups that are identified as particularly vulnerable to drug addiction;
  • Focus on drug prevention as opposed to drug treatment; and
  • Promote lasting, sustainable, positive effects among the communities involved.

Subject to the availability of funds, INL intends to issue three separate awards in an amount not to exceed $60,000 in total funding.
