Opportunity Information: Apply for PM PMWRA 17 022
The 2017 Survey and Clearance in Parwan/Baghlan 1 (Project 18) grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State funding program focused on humanitarian demining and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) work in Afghanistan, specifically tied to survey and clearance activities in the Parwan and Baghlan areas. It is administered by the Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA), which supports efforts to reduce the danger posed by landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war. The central purpose of the award is to fund field operations that identify hazardous areas (survey) and then remove or neutralize explosive threats (clearance/EOD) so communities can safely move, live, farm, and rebuild without the ongoing risk of injury or death.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.800, and it is designed for organizations capable of planning and delivering technically sound humanitarian mine action and EOD activities in line with applicable international and national standards. The notice indicates that the Department anticipated awarding up to $1,873,000 under this single opportunity, meaning the project is structured as a sizable, operational award meant to produce measurable risk reduction outcomes on the ground rather than a small pilot or purely administrative effort. While the listing does not spell out the exact number of awards expected, the ceiling amount and project framing suggest a targeted project intended to support defined operational outputs in the specified Afghan provinces.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as allowed in the announcement. The opportunity also references Public International Organizations (PIOs), signaling that certain international bodies may be considered within the eligible pool or in alignment with the program's broader implementing partner landscape. In practical terms, the applicant pool is aimed at organizations with demonstrated capacity in humanitarian mine action, including technical expertise, field management systems, safety and quality assurance processes, and the ability to operate in complex environments.
From an applicant standpoint, PM/WRA emphasizes that "specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements" are provided as part of the application package guidance. That phrasing typically means proposals would be expected to describe clear operational plans and deliverables, such as how surveys will be conducted and documented, how clearance assets will be deployed, what types of ordnance are expected, how cleared land will be released back to communities, and what internal controls will ensure safety, accountability, and compliance. A competitive application would normally detail staff qualifications, training and accreditation, equipment and logistics, medical and evacuation planning, security procedures, reporting and monitoring methods, and coordination with relevant Afghan authorities and mine action coordination structures. It would also be expected to tie activities to humanitarian impact, for example by prioritizing areas that affect civilian movement, access to services, agriculture, or resettlement.
Key administrative details in the notice include the funding opportunity number PM PMWRA 17 022, a creation date of March 9, 2017, and an original closing date of May 10, 2017. The funding instrument is explicitly a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," which is common for specialized security and humanitarian risk-reduction programs that do not fit neatly into a single sector label like health or education. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a PM/WRA-funded humanitarian mine action project with a defined geographic focus (Parwan/Baghlan), a strong operational orientation (survey and clearance/EOD), and a funding level intended to support real field outputs and tangible reductions in explosive hazards affecting Afghan communities.Apply for PM PMWRA 17 022
