Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.BaghlanProject9.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 14 024) is a discretionary U.S. government 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 focused on conventional weapons destruction activities in Afghanistan, specifically in Baghlan Province. The core purpose of the funding is to reduce the threats posed by landmines and other explosive hazards through humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and assistance to victims of explosive remnants of war. In practical terms, the project is aimed at making communities safer by clearing contaminated areas, addressing unexploded ordnance and other dangerous explosive items, and supporting people harmed by these hazards.
The opportunity uses a grant funding instrument and is categorized under “Other†for the funding activity area, with the category explanation listed as CWD (conventional weapons destruction). The funding parameters list an award ceiling of $1,553,179 and an award floor of $0, meaning proposals could range up to roughly $1.55 million, with no stated minimum amount required. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants are not obligated to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, though applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources or in-kind contributions to strengthen competitiveness if appropriate and allowed by the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). This indicates the program is primarily intended for experienced humanitarian or mine action organizations capable of operating in a complex environment like Afghanistan and delivering field-based clearance, disposal, risk reduction support, and victim assistance services.
