Description: The Department of State?s Bureau for Counterterrorism Countering Violent Extremism Unit, is pleased to announce an open competition under its Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Program for awards for activities in Bangladesh.

CT will award one cooperative agreement of approximately $1.2 million for these activities in Bangladesh, contingent upon the availability of funds.

Filmmaking is a particular medium of interest.
