This grant from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism is for projects aimed at stopping ISIS-K from recruiting Central Asian foreign workers, especially those who speak Tajik and Uzbek. The goal is to prevent these workers from being radicalized online and potentially being involved in attacks against the U.S. or its interests. Projects can include online engagement, digital literacy training, and improving cooperation between law enforcement and communities.
Who it's for: Organizations capable of implementing projects that counter online radicalization and recruitment of Central Asian foreign workers, particularly those who speak Tajik and Uzbek. This includes entities that can provide technical assistance to law enforcement in Central Asia.
