It is focused specifically on supporting humanitarian mine action (HMA) activities in Angola. In practical terms, this kind of funding is intended to reduce the danger posed by landmines and other explosive hazards to civilians, improve human security, and help communities safely use land and infrastructure that may be affected by explosive remnants of war.
The program is offered as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the assistance listing/CFDA number 19.800, "Weapons Removal and Abatement." The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the category explanation noted as "CWD" (commonly used shorthand in this space for conventional weapons destruction). The announcement anticipated making up to three awards (Expected Awards: 3). Individual awards could be as large as $1,500,000 (Award Ceiling: 1,500,000), and there is no stated minimum amount (Award Floor: 0), which suggests proposals could be scoped at varying sizes depending on the approach and needs identified.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations.

The notice indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to provide a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014.
