Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Lebanon.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 14 026) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is a discretionary grant under the assistance listing (CFDA) 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, and it is focused on conventional weapons destruction and humanitarian mine action work in Lebanon. The overall purpose is to reduce the risks to civilians and communities from landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war, while also addressing the dangers posed by unsecured or illicit small arms and light weapons.
The program scope includes several related lines of effort. It supports humanitarian demining activities, which typically involve the surveying, marking, and clearance of mined areas to make land safe again for civilian use. It also supports battle area clearance, a type of clearance work generally aimed at removing unexploded ordnance and explosive hazards from areas affected by past conflict even when the location is not formally mapped as a minefield. In addition, the opportunity includes small arms and light weapons destruction, meaning projects that identify, secure, and safely destroy weapons and ammunition to prevent diversion, misuse, and accidental harm. The grant also allows for victim assistance, which commonly covers services that help survivors of mines or explosive remnants of war recover and reintegrate, such as emergency and ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and prosthetics, psychosocial support, and broader support that improves independence and livelihoods. Finally, it supports MRE, or mine risk education, which is aimed at reducing casualties by educating at-risk populations about explosive hazards, safe behaviors, and how to report suspected ordnance.
In terms of funding parameters, the award ceiling is listed as $1,000,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating that proposals could vary in size up to the maximum depending on the project design and available funding. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, so applicants are not required to provide a financial match as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary leverage is sometimes viewed positively in competitive processes depending on the program.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity is categorized as a grant and was posted on June 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2014. The archive date is August 24, 2014, which signals that the public posting is historical and the submission window has long since closed.
