Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008137
The grant opportunity titled "21.PMWRA.Afghanistan.Project 03" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008137) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant administered by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It supports humanitarian mine action work in Afghanistan for the FY 2021/2022 period, with programming focused on reducing harm to civilians from landmines and other explosive hazards. The core activities described include humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and/or victim assistance, meaning applicants can propose operational clearance and disposal work, services that directly support survivors, or an integrated package that combines these approaches.
The purpose of the funding is to enable qualified organizations to carry out practical, field-based interventions that locate, clear, and safely dispose of landmines and explosive remnants of war, while also addressing the human impact of those weapons through victim assistance. In practice, humanitarian demining typically involves surveying suspected hazardous areas, marking and securing them, and clearing mines to restore safe access to land, roads, and community infrastructure. Explosive ordnance disposal generally refers to identifying, rendering safe, and destroying dangerous munitions such as unexploded ordnance, abandoned explosive ordnance, or other lethal remnants that pose an immediate risk. Victim assistance programs generally include activities that support survivors and affected communities, such as medical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, assistive devices, referral networks, and efforts that improve inclusion and access to services for people with injuries or disabilities linked to explosive hazards.
PM/WRA anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $2,033,422 (the narrative in the listing also references $2,033,442, but the stated ceiling is $2,033,422). The opportunity lists one expected award, indicating that the Department likely intended to fund one main implementing partner for this specific project. The grant is categorized under CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 19.800, which is associated with State Department program assistance.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That means the applicant must be a qualifying U.S. nonprofit entity (or otherwise able to meet the stated IRS status requirement as written in the notice) and should be prepared to demonstrate the organizational capacity, technical expertise, and compliance readiness needed to operate in a high-risk environment and manage U.S. government grant funds. The application would be expected to align with PM/WRA technical requirements and performance expectations for mine action programs, which the notice indicates are provided in the full announcement details.
Key administrative details include a posting/creation date of May 19, 2021 and an original application closing date of July 30, 2021. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with additional explanation referenced in the full text of the opportunity. Overall, the opportunity is designed to fund a targeted Afghanistan-based humanitarian mine action project that measurably reduces the threat of explosive hazards and/or improves outcomes for people harmed by them, using established demining, EOD, and survivor-support approaches under PM/WRA oversight.Apply for SFOP0008137
