Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "16.PMWRA.Project 11.Baghlan.Afghanistan.NOFO" (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 16 032) is a discretionary U.S. government grant administered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (DOS-PMWRA). It was posted on April 13, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of May 31, 2016. The program is associated with CFDA number 19.800, which generally covers humanitarian mine action and related conventional weapons destruction efforts supported by the Department of State.
The core purpose of the award is to support demining activities in Baghlan Province, Afghanistan. In practical terms, this type of grant is designed to reduce the threat posed by landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) by funding field operations that locate, clear, and safely dispose of hazardous items. While the notice description is brief, "demining activities" in PMWRA programs typically refers to humanitarian clearance and related risk-reduction work that enables safer movement for civilians and supports the return or productive use of land and infrastructure. The geographic focus is specifically Baghlan Province, meaning proposed activities would be expected to be implemented there and tailored to the contamination profile and community needs of that province.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $1,785,000, which indicates the maximum amount available under a single award for this project. The notice indicates it is a grant as the funding instrument type. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," which in this context is commonly used for programs that do not fit neatly into standard categories like education, health, or infrastructure, and instead fall under specialized security and humanitarian assistance activities such as weapons removal and abatement.
Eligibility is open to nonprofit organizations, including 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). The listing also includes "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced, suggesting that additional categories of applicants may be considered depending on the full eligibility language in the complete notice (for example, certain international NGOs or other qualified entities), but the provided summary data does not specify which "other" entities qualify. As with most PMWRA grant opportunities, applicants would generally be expected to demonstrate relevant technical capability, operational experience in mine action or explosive hazard reduction, the ability to manage awards in complex environments, and the capacity to meet reporting and compliance requirements tied to U.S. government assistance.
In short, this opportunity is a time-bound, competitive (discretionary) grant from DOS-PMWRA intended to fund humanitarian demining work in Baghlan Province, with up to $1.785 million available, and targeted primarily to qualified nonprofit implementers capable of carrying out safe, accountable explosive hazard clearance and related risk-reduction activities in Afghanistan.
