Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.BaghlanProject4.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 14 025) is a U.S. government discretionary grant administered by the Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It falls under CFDA 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, and is aimed at addressing the ongoing threat from landmines and other explosive remnants of war in Baghlan Province, Afghanistan. The core purpose is straightforward: fund operational work that reduces civilian harm and restores safe access to land and infrastructure through humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal, and assistance to victims affected by explosive hazards.
Programmatically, the funding is designed to support three closely related lines of effort. First is humanitarian demining, meaning survey and clearance activities intended to locate, mark, and remove landmines and contaminated areas so communities can safely return to normal life. Second is explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), which typically includes the identification, safe removal, and destruction of unexploded ordnance and other dangerous explosive items that may be encountered in populated areas, agricultural land, roads, or near public facilities. Third is victims assistance, which generally refers to support that helps survivors and affected families cope with the medical, physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences of explosive incidents. While the announcement summary does not list specific sub-activities, PM/WRA-funded projects commonly emphasize practical, field-based risk reduction and community impact, with measurable outputs such as areas surveyed or cleared, items destroyed, and beneficiaries reached through assistance services.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) for this opportunity is listed as $1,488,627, with an award floor of $0, indicating there is no stated minimum request amount and that proposals could, in principle, range up to the ceiling based on the applicant's technical approach and budget justification. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier for qualified organizations that may not have access to non-federal funds. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the category explanation provided as "CWD CFDANumbers," reflecting the weapons removal/abatement program area rather than a conventional domestic assistance category.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations. Both U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education) are eligible to apply. In practical terms, this points to implementation partners such as humanitarian mine action NGOs and similar entities that can demonstrate the operational capacity, safety systems, and compliance structures needed to run explosive hazard reduction and victim-support activities in a high-risk environment like Baghlan Province.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2014. The archive date is August 14, 2014, indicating it is no longer an active competition and has been formally archived in the grants system. For applicants at the time, proposals would have needed to be prepared quickly within a short application window of roughly three weeks, which typically favors organizations with existing in-country presence, established supply chains, trained personnel, and prior experience implementing mine action programs under donor requirements.
For administrative support, the notice directs anyone who has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 (excluding federal holidays), via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or email at support@grants.gov.
