Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006128
The grant opportunity titled "19.PMWRA.Afghanistan.Project 29.NOFO" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006128) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant offered through the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was created on August 20, 2019, with an original application deadline of October 19, 2019. The program is listed under CFDA 19.800, which covers assistance related to weapons removal and abatement activities. The Department of State planned to make one award under this notice.
The purpose of the funding is to support humanitarian mine action work in Afghanistan during fiscal year 2019. In practical terms, PM/WRA was seeking proposals that would reduce harm to civilians and communities caused by landmines and other explosive remnants of war. The notice highlights three core types of activities that could be supported: humanitarian demining (surveying, clearing, and releasing land contaminated by mines and explosive hazards), explosive ordnance disposal (locating, rendering safe, and disposing of explosive items such as unexploded ordnance), and victim assistance (services and support that help survivors of explosive incidents and affected families, which can include medical, rehabilitative, psychosocial, and reintegration-focused assistance depending on the program design). While the short description does not list the full set of technical requirements, it indicates that specific goals, objectives, and application package requirements were provided in the detailed solicitation materials.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That means the applicant pool was focused on qualified charitable or humanitarian organizations capable of implementing specialized, safety-critical field operations and/or survivor-support programming in Afghanistan. Because this is a PM/WRA opportunity, applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate strong technical competence, appropriate safety and quality management practices, and the operational capacity to carry out mine action or victim assistance programming in complex environments.
The maximum funding anticipated for this award was up to $1,258,348 (the award ceiling). With an expected number of awards listed as one, the notice suggests PM/WRA intended to fund a single implementer or a single project package under this particular solicitation, rather than splitting the amount across multiple recipients. Overall, the opportunity was designed to finance a targeted Afghanistan-based humanitarian response aimed at clearing explosive hazards, safely disposing of dangerous ordnance, and/or assisting people harmed by these weapons, thereby improving civilian safety and supporting community recovery.Apply for SFOP0006128
