Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled 16.PMWRA.Project12.Kapisa.Afghanistan.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 16 030) is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of State, specifically the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (DOS-PMWRA). The purpose of the award is to support demining activities in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan, meaning the project is aimed at addressing contamination from landmines and other explosive hazards that threaten civilian safety, restrict movement, and limit the use of land and infrastructure.
This opportunity is structured as a grant, and it falls under an "Other" funding activity category (with additional clarification typically provided in the full notice under an explanatory field). The associated CFDA number is 19.800, which is commonly tied to U.S. conventional weapons destruction and related humanitarian mine action programs. The posting date and creation date are both April 13, 2016, and the application deadline (both original and current) is May 31, 2016, indicating a defined, time-limited solicitation window.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and additional eligible entities described under an "Others" category, where the full notice would normally spell out any further qualifications or allowable applicant types. This eligibility framing suggests the program is oriented toward experienced implementing partners such as humanitarian demining NGOs and similar organizations capable of conducting clearance operations, managing safety and quality standards, coordinating with local authorities, and reporting results in line with U.S. government grant requirements.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $1,129,000, which indicates the maximum funding level anticipated for a single award under this specific notice. The notice does not provide a value in the "ExpectedAwards" field in the source data provided, so the exact number of awards is not specified here; in practice, opportunities like this may fund one project or multiple efforts depending on the agency's program design and the quality of applications received.
In practical terms, a grant described this narrowly is typically focused on tangible demining deliverables in the named province, such as surveying suspected hazardous areas, clearing and destroying mines and unexploded ordnance, marking and fencing hazardous zones, and conducting quality assurance to confirm land has been made safe for civilian use. While the short description only states "demining activities," programs administered by PMWRA often emphasize humanitarian impact, including restoring safe access to homes, farmland, roads, schools, and clinics, and reducing injury and death risks for local communities. The full notice would normally provide the detailed scope of work, performance period, expected outputs and outcomes, monitoring and evaluation requirements, and any compliance expectations tied to security, coordination, and reporting.
In summary, this is a U.S. State Department (PMWRA) humanitarian mine action grant opportunity from 2016 aimed at funding demining operations in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan, with up to $1.129 million available under a discretionary grant mechanism, open primarily to qualified nonprofit implementers and other eligible entities as defined in the complete solicitation.
