Opportunity Information: Apply for INL21CA0047 AMESENAGAL ROADSAFETY 052721
The Senegal Road Safety Initiative is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) grant opportunity focused on using road safety work as a practical way to strengthen trust between Senegalese law enforcement and the public. The project frames road safety broadly, not only as reducing traffic crashes and fatalities, but also as improving prevention and emergency response, and building stronger public engagement and advocacy. It also explicitly links road conditions and traffic enforcement to wider security and governance issues on and around roads, including banditry and everyday corruption, with the idea that what people experience at checkpoints and during traffic stops can shape their overall confidence in government.
A central goal is to improve the "social contract" by making law enforcement interactions more professional, service-oriented, and transparent. The opportunity builds on prior INL-supported efforts in Senegal that brought together civil society organizations and law enforcement to increase mutual trust, educate citizens, curb corruption, and communicate tangible improvements. This new effort continues that direction by targeting the road-user experience as a high-visibility area where reform can be felt quickly and where better policing can translate into better public perceptions of fairness and legitimacy.
The grant highlights three main lines of work. First, it aims to strengthen service delivery related to road safety, including prevention measures and response capacity, so that citizens see law enforcement and related institutions as capable and helpful in reducing harm on the roads. Second, it prioritizes reducing traffic-related corruption and abuse of power, recognizing that bribery, intimidation, and arbitrary enforcement directly erode confidence in public institutions. Third, it emphasizes the need to market new initiatives effectively and involve citizens in them, treating communication, outreach, and messaging as crosscutting requirements rather than optional add-ons. In practice, that means the project is expected to show not only technical improvements in enforcement or response, but also clear public-facing communication that explains what is changing, why it matters, and how citizens can participate or hold institutions accountable.
The intended outcome is a combined effect: improved motivation and professionalism among law enforcement, stronger community cooperation, and greater transparency and accountability. By improving dialogue and performance in a daily, highly visible area of governance, the initiative aims to reduce distrust and improve perceptions of government service delivery. The opportunity also connects these governance gains to broader stability goals, arguing that distrust and poor service delivery can contribute to conditions that violent extremist groups exploit; therefore, better road safety and cleaner traffic enforcement are treated as part of a wider prevention strategy.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under CFDA 19.703, offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government is likely to remain actively engaged during implementation rather than acting solely as a passive funder. The funding opportunity number is INL21CA0047 (AMESENAGAL ROADSAFETY 052721). The award ceiling is $1,000,000, with one award expected. It was posted May 27, 2021, with an original closing date of June 30, 2021.
