What it funds

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

NEA/AC seeks proposals for targeted assistance projects to empower civilian security providers in non-regime held areas of NE Syria to deliver effective and equitable security services in a
manner that serves, and is supported by, the population. Proposals that take a holistic approach to community security and are tailored to the challenges of the Syrian conflict are
encouraged. As part of NEA/AC’s portfolio of stabilization projects, proposals should advance U.S. policy, primarily ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS as well as advancing a political
solution to the conflict in line with UNSCR 2254.
