What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor announces an open competition for proposals for programs that investigate how perpetrators of transnational repression infiltrate diaspora communities using faith based or quasi government organizations to target individuals and groups across borders and exploit governmental and quasi governmental bodies and mechanisms. The program would then translate findings into immediately actionable options for individuals, organizations, governments and international bodies to mitigate risk and end these practices.
