About this award

The Department of State Bureau of Political Military Affairs awarded a $20.65 million Cooperative Agreement to The Halo Trust USA, Inc. on November 1, 2025, under the Weapons Removal and Abatement program (CFDA 19.800) to conduct cluster munition clearance and unexploded ordnance (UXO) removal in Savannakhet Province, Laos, through September 30, 2027.

The award combines initial funding of $3.8 million with a subsequent $15 million cost amendment to sustain UXO clearance operations. The Halo Trust USA implements the work through sub-awards to its parent organization, The Halo Trust, which conducts on-the-ground demining and explosive ordnance disposal operations in the designated province. The sub-recipient's activities directly address civilian security threats posed by conventional weapons and explosive remnants of war in the post-conflict region, supporting the program's goal to reduce risks to civilian populations from illicitly proliferated and indiscriminately used conventional weapons.
