Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.PanjsherProject6.RFA is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). The purpose of the award is to support humanitarian mine action activities in Panjsher Province, Afghanistan, specifically focused on humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and assistance to victims of mines and explosive remnants of war. In practical terms, the project is meant to reduce risks to civilians from landmines and unexploded ordnance, clear hazardous areas so communities can safely move, farm, and rebuild, and provide support services for people injured or otherwise affected by explosive hazards.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 14 022 and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is labeled as "Other," with the category explanation indicated as CWD/CFD in the source listing. The government posted the opportunity on June 23, 2014, with records showing a creation date of June 26, 2014. The original application deadline was July 15, 2014, but it was later extended. The final closing date became July 23, 2014, with applications accepted through GrantSolutions.gov until 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, per the update attributed to the grants officer, Thomas Kodiak. The opportunity later moved to archive status on August 22, 2014.
The total potential award size is capped, with an award ceiling of $1,683,632, while the stated award floor is $0, meaning there was no guaranteed minimum award amount specified in the announcement data. The listing also indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to contribute a defined portion of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, although applicants can sometimes still propose voluntary leverage depending on program norms.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. This framing generally fits the humanitarian mine action field, where implementing partners are often specialized nongovernmental organizations with technical demining capacity, EOD teams, risk-reduction programming, and victim assistance service networks.
The program scope, as described, centers on three core areas. Humanitarian demining usually involves survey and clearance of mine-affected land, marking and fencing of hazardous areas, and the handover of cleared land back to communities once it meets applicable safety and quality standards. Explosive ordnance disposal generally refers to identifying, securing, and safely disposing of unexploded ordnance and other explosive remnants of war that pose immediate threats, which may include spot tasks as well as broader clearance operations. Victims assistance typically covers support to survivors and affected families, which can include medical referral pathways, physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and efforts that improve social and economic inclusion for those living with injuries or disabilities caused by explosive hazards. While the dataset excerpt does not specify exact deliverables, staffing levels, or geographic targeting beyond Panjsher Province, the stated intent is clearly aligned with civilian protection and post-conflict recovery by reducing explosive threats and supporting those already harmed.
