Description

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) announces a funding opportunity for a 15-month results-focused cooperative agreement to improve the counterterrorism capabilities of one of the advanced tactical law enforcement units within Kenya’s Administrative Police Services (APS) tasked with securing the border with Somalia. Through the provision of training and necessary equipment, this program will improve operational readiness through three lines of effort: 1) low-light and night-vision ability; 2) using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance (ISR) purposes; and 3) organic explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) capability. In the Kenyan context, the overall outcome of this program is to further the tactical development of these three skills in order to enhance the security surrounding the Manda Bay Military Base (also known as “Camp Simba”) along the eastern border with Somalia. The military base in Kenya’s Lamu County region is critical to the protection of U.S. military assets and personnel. By strengthening Kenya's ability to secure its border with Somalia, this program directly protects American servicemembers stationed at Manda Bay and prevents terrorists from conducting attacks that threaten American citizens and U.S. interests.
