The Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs awarded a $2.5 million Cooperative Agreement to Golden West Humanitarian Foundation under the Weapons Removal and Abatement (WRA) program (CFDA 19.800) effective September 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This cooperative agreement funds humanitarian demining and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) activities in Cambodia designed to reduce threats to civilian security from conventional weapons and explosive remnants of war.

Golden West Humanitarian Foundation will deliver comprehensive conventional weapons elimination services, including humanitarian demining operations, unexploded ordnance (UXO) removal, technical advisory support, and capacity-building assistance for host nation authorities. As an established implementing partner with extensive experience in Southeast Asian mine action operations, the foundation will provide equipment, logistical support, and expertise to enable the clearance of contaminated land and enhance civilian safety in post-conflict areas, consistent with the WRA program's objective of reducing threats posed by at-risk and indiscriminately used conventional weapons in conflict-affected regions.
