Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 16.PMWRA.Project 9.Laghman.Afghanistan.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 16 029) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by DOS-PMWRA, the office that oversees weapons removal and abatement efforts. The purpose of the award is straightforward: to fund demining activities in Laghman Province, Afghanistan. In practical terms, this type of funding is generally aimed at reducing threats from landmines and other explosive remnants of war so that communities can move safely, restore access to land and infrastructure, and support broader stabilization and recovery objectives.
The opportunity uses a grant as the funding instrument. It is categorized under the funding activity label "Other," which typically signals that the work does not fit neatly into more common federal activity categories and instead reflects a specialized operational or technical assistance mission. The listing is associated with CFDA number 19.800, which corresponds to State Department programs in this space and helps applicants and auditors track the federal assistance purpose area.
Eligibility is open 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. The notice also indicates that "Others" may be eligible depending on the additional eligibility clarification in the full announcement, a common approach when an agency wants to preserve flexibility for specialized entities such as international NGOs, commercial firms with humanitarian demining capacity, or other qualified organizations that can meet programmatic and compliance requirements.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $1,226,000. The notice does not specify how many awards are expected, leaving the number of funded projects unspecified in the summary data. The opportunity was created and posted on April 13, 2016, and the closing date for submissions was May 31, 2016. Overall, this is a targeted, place-specific humanitarian demining funding call designed to support clearance and related risk-reduction activities in Laghman Province under the State Department's weapons removal and abatement portfolio.
