Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006125
The grant opportunity titled 19.PMWRA.Afghanistan.Project 27.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006125) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant administered through the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is focused on Afghanistan and is intended to support humanitarian mine action activities during U.S. fiscal year 2020. In practical terms, the program is aimed at reducing harm to civilians and helping communities recover by addressing landmines and other explosive hazards, while also supporting people who have already been injured or otherwise affected.
The funded work centers on three closely related program areas: humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. Humanitarian demining generally refers to locating, clearing, and safely disposing of landmines and other explosive remnants of war so that land and infrastructure can be used again for everyday life, such as farming, travel, housing, and access to schools or medical care. Explosive ordnance disposal typically includes the identification and safe removal or destruction of unexploded ordnance and other explosive hazards that remain after conflict and pose ongoing risks. Victim assistance supports survivors and affected families through services that may include medical care linkages, rehabilitation support, prosthetics and assistive devices, psychosocial support, and efforts that improve inclusion and resilience for people living with injuries caused by explosive hazards. The notice indicates that detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements are provided in the full application instructions, meaning applicants are expected to align proposed activities with PM/WRA program standards and any Afghanistan-specific requirements described in the solicitation.
Funding under this opportunity is expected to result in a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of up to $1,818,532. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that the work falls within specialized humanitarian and security-related assistance rather than a more common category like education or health alone. The relevant CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 19.800, which is associated with Department of State assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction means universities cannot apply directly under their normal institutional status, while qualifying nonprofit implementers with relevant technical capacity can compete. The opportunity was created on August 20, 2019, with an original application deadline of October 19, 2019, indicating it was a time-bound FY2020 solicitation.
Overall, this notice describes a targeted PM/WRA Afghanistan mine action grant designed to fund field-ready, technically competent humanitarian demining and EOD operations and/or survivor-centered victim assistance efforts. The intended outcome is to reduce deaths and injuries from mines and explosive remnants of war, restore safe access to land and critical routes, and strengthen support systems for individuals and communities harmed by explosive hazards, using a single award of up to roughly $1.82 million under the Department of State's weapons removal and abatement programming.Apply for SFOP0006125
