Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005024
The grant opportunity titled 18.PMWRA.Somalia.PSSM.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005024) is a U.S. Department of State funding notice issued through the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It supports work in South/Central Somalia focused on improving the safety, accountability, and control of weapons and ammunition. The program is structured as a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would be expected to coordinate closely with the Department of State while carrying out the project, and the government may remain more actively involved than in a standard grant.
The central purpose of the award is to fund physical security and stockpile management (PSSM) enhancements alongside small arms and light weapons (SA/LW) disposal activities. In practical terms, this kind of funding typically targets risk reduction around weapons storage and handling by improving storage conditions, strengthening security procedures, and reducing opportunities for theft, diversion, accidental explosions, or unauthorized access. The disposal component is aimed at safely destroying or otherwise permanently removing excess, obsolete, or unsecured small arms and light weapons from circulation, which is often treated as a direct way to reduce armed violence and limit the supply of weapons that can reach armed groups or criminal networks.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status and are not institutions of higher education. The listing is associated with CFDA number 19.800, which corresponds to State Department foreign assistance programming. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of up to $960,000. The notice was created on May 4, 2018, and the original application deadline was June 25, 2018, placing it within the U.S. Government fiscal year 2018 planning and implementation window.
While the brief synopsis does not spell out the detailed technical approach, it clearly indicates that the Notice of Funding Opportunity contains the specific goals, objectives, and application package requirements that applicants must follow. In general, a project under this type of PM/WRA programming would be expected to propose a clear implementation plan for PSSM upgrades (such as improving storage site security, inventory controls, recordkeeping, and standard operating procedures) and a compliant, safe disposal methodology for SA/LW, along with monitoring, reporting, and coordination mechanisms appropriate for operating in South/Central Somalia.Apply for SFOP0005024
