The International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) Section of the U.S. Embassy in The Bahamas is pleased to announce a request for grant proposals for drug demand reduction projects that include the implementation of an anti-drug media campaign targeting at-risk youth in The Bahamas.

• reduction in gang membership; and

• promotion of existing and/or new drug prevention, education, treatment, rehabilitation, and aftercare programs.

Applicants should design proposals to demonstrate concrete deliverables within a 12-month performance period that are within the scope of the proposed budget, which should be between $5,000 and $25,000.
