Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.South Sudan.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 14 013) is a U.S. Department of State, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) competitive funding announcement for Fiscal Year 2014 focused on Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) work in South Sudan. The core intent is humanitarian and civilian-protection oriented: reduce the danger posed to communities by explosive remnants of war (ERW) and improve support to people injured by ERW. In practical terms, the solicitation invites proposals that will directly address contamination and harm from unexploded ordnance and other ERW through a combination of clearance operations, community education, and survivor-focused assistance.
Activities supported under this opportunity center on three main areas. First is ERW clearance, which generally includes locating, identifying, and safely removing or destroying explosive hazards to make land and infrastructure safer for civilian use. Second is Mine Risk Education (MRE), which aims to reduce accidents by teaching at-risk populations how to recognize explosive hazards and adopt safer behaviors, often through community sessions, outreach campaigns, and locally appropriate messaging. Third is Survivors Assistance (SA), which supports individuals and communities affected by ERW injuries; depending on proposed programming, this can include linkages to medical care, rehabilitation services, assistive devices, psychosocial support, and broader reintegration or referral mechanisms tied to existing service providers. Across these elements, the overarching purpose remains consistent: lowering civilian risk and strengthening the response for survivors as part of U.S.-funded CWD efforts in South Sudan.
Eligibility is open to both U.S.-based and foreign non-governmental organizations. The eligible applicant categories listed include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of applying, which can be important for organizations operating in high-risk or resource-constrained environments.
In terms of award size and structure, PM/WRA anticipated making multiple awards, with an expected number of awards listed as 2. The total funding available was projected at up to $800,000, pending FY2014 appropriations. Individual awards were expected to fall between a floor of $50,000 and a ceiling of $800,000 per entity. The announcement also explicitly allows applicants to propose different funding tiers within a single submission. If an organization chooses that approach, it must clearly spell out what outputs and results would be delivered at each funding level, so reviewers can understand how program scale, geographic coverage, or beneficiary reach changes based on the amount awarded.
The submission process was strictly deadline-driven and required electronic submission through either grantsolutions.gov or grants.gov. The closing deadline was 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, May 16, 2014. Key administrative dates included a posted date of April 21, 2014, a creation date of April 24, 2014, and an archive date of June 15, 2014. For applicants unable to access the full announcement electronically, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, 24/7 except federal holidays) and the email support@grants.gov.
